Hello, Mustangs!
I am so proud of our Special Olympics Team!! I just learned we earned two blue ribbons and our student athletic trainers had a blast with our team. Truly a wonderful and touching day! Do check out the photos!
I do remind you to bring your drivers license when entering the school. If you have a guest, he or she must bring a drivers license or passport. Thank you for your help with this as we assure the safety of all students.
The rezoning recommendations were passed by the School Board with one revision. The Carriage Lakes neighborhoods will stay at Midway. You will find below the dates for special Welcomes and Orientations for the different groups.
