Multi-Agency Safety Drill
In the Medford School District, safety and security is one of our shared values.
One way we will be working to increase safety and security is to hold a multi-agency drill this summer. We will be working with the Medford Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, local hospital systems and more to test our safety, security and communications systems.
We will also be strengthening our working relationships with local emergency agencies.
This will be happening at Oakdale Middle School on June 22nd.
Grad Walk is Coming Up!
Our Annual Grad Walk is in one month! Seniors get to wear their caps and gowns and walk the halls of their former middle and elementary schools. They see their former teachers and staff, and inspire future grads!
Families and the community have an opportunity to take part in Grad Walk at our Community Congrats! This is a chance for you to cheer on the class of 2023.
Watch for a stream of yellow buses filled with students as they drive on Jackson Street from 10:10-10:25 a.m. on June 1st.. You can park in the Medford Center or Hawthorne Park.
We hope to see you there - bring your signs and make some noise for our seniors!

School Highlight - First Live Blood Draw Day!
North and South Medford Phlebotomy Tech students had their first live blood draw day!
These students have spent the last nine weeks learning about Phlebotomy. They put their learning into action.
Great work to the brave students, their outstanding instructors and the partnership with Rogue School of Phlebotomy! These students are ready to leave the district and straight into a career, if they choose.
