Weekly Bulletins
Greetings, Midland Families!
Thank you for taking the time to attend our Back to School Night earlier this week! It was wonderful to see so many of you on campus, connecting with our teachers and learning more about the exciting year ahead.
Building strong partnerships between home and school is essential to student success, and your presence and participation are a vital part of that effort. We truly appreciate your commitment to being involved and engaged in your child’s education.
Together, we can make this school year a rewarding and successful experience for every student at Midland. Thank you again for your support and for being such an important part of our school community.
The School Site Council (SSC) is a collaborative group composed of teachers, parents, and school staff who work alongside the principal to develop, review, and evaluate the school’s plan for continuous improvement. The SSC plays a vital role in ensuring that school resources including funding are effectively aligned with student needs and campus goals.
Voting Information: You may cast your vote for up to two (2) candidates. Please take a moment to read each candidate's statement before voting.
The voting ballot and list of candidates will be sent in a separate email later today. Voting will close at 5:00 on Tuesday.
I am excited to invite you to one of three upcoming Principal Meet & Greet events that I will be hosting as your new principal! These gatherings are a wonderful opportunity for me to welcome you to campus, share a bit about my background, begin building strong, positive connections, and answer any questions you may have.
Each session will follow the same format, so please feel free to choose the date and time that works best for you and your family. While I absolutely love seeing our students each day, I kindly ask that this event be reserved for parents and guardians only. I look forward to meeting you soon and beginning this exciting journey together!
Dates: 8/26/25, 8/28/25, and 9/2/25
Time: 5:30 to 6:30
Location: Midland MPR
MEF is excited to announce the fall production of the Lion King! This opportunity is open to 1st through 5th grade students. There is a $50 suggested donation for each participant that will cover the costs for play scripts, costumes and a T-shirt. MEF is offering ten scholarships to cover the cost of materials fees for families where that would be a hardship. The performances will be open to the entire school and parent community and will be held on 11/8 at 2pm and at 6pm in the MPR.
The participation is capped at 50 students. Registration will open on 8/24 and closes on 8/29, and participation will be first come, first serve based on order of registration. So please plan accordingly.

We know volunteers are a vital part of our school community, and we’re excited to share that the district is updating the volunteer process to make it easier and more efficient.
While this new system is being prepared, we are still welcoming volunteers as visitors. We encourage anyone interested in volunteering this year to begin their TB assessment now so they’re ready to go when the updated process launches, which is expected in mid-September. You can learn more about this process by visiting our website.
Thank you for your patience and your willingness to help. We’ll provide more information as soon as it becomes available.
