MOA Grades 4-8 New Home!

We've moved to our new home in Oakdale Middle School! MOA is located in room 216. We have room to host a few students for in-person work or one-on-one opportunities!

Online Registration

Online Registration is available for students who are brand new to the Medford School District (MSD). Create a ParentVUE account (if you don’t already have one for another student) and follow these directions to enroll your student into their neighborhood school.

Oakdale Middle School- East Gym

Student Photo Usage

Medford School District staff often take photos and videos of students during field trips, school events, sports activities, performances and during classroom instruction to share the work and accomplishments of students. Those accomplishments are shared through the district

website, social media, print publications, fliers, and brochures. The district also works with local news media to promote student work, as well as district projects and initiatives.

If you do not want your student’s image to be published, please visit your school office to fill out a Publicity Denial form. We will make every effort to protect the privacy of your students.

Please note the district cannot guarantee a student’s image will not be published if the student is photographed/videotaped in a large group or crowd setting, such as school assemblies, sports events, and public meetings.

Please contact the Communications Department at msd.communications@medford.k12.or.us with any questions.

Student Password Reset

Student passwords have been reset to the start of year default passwords as of Sunday, August 11th. Students can reset their password by accessing the Password Reset page (available from the apps section on the Chromebook login screen or from the Medford School District Website under STUDENTS), students can set their password for the 24-25 School Year. Click here for instructions.


  • Once enrolled, students can (on their own) change their password or reset it if they have forgotten it.

  • If the student is new to the district, they will need to enroll in the Password Reset system before they set their password for the new year.
