Principal's Message
Dear MPS families-
It has been an amazing two weeks as we have welcomed all students back into the building five days a week. Our building is alive with excitement for learning! Our students have done an amazing job learning new school procedures and routines, including wearing masks in the building. We are so proud of the progress and perseverance of each and every student at MPS.
We will continue to focus on the whole child as students are adjusting to the full return of our school schedule. Each grade level has extra time built into their schedule to be able to work on topics that students need to be successful. This could include additional work with routines, team building, PATHS lessons, teaching executive functioning skills such as organization, and most importantly building strong relationships with each and every student.
We look forward to seeing our students grow, learn, and have fun!
Kindly,
Sandy Fox
Principal
Middletown Primary School
"A Great Place to Come and Learn"

Car rider arrival and dismissal
- It is best if your child's seat/carseat is on the passenger side of the car so they can enter the car safely from the curb.
- Please do not get out of your car to help your child into the car. A staff member will be available to help with opening car doors and assisting with getting into and out of the car.
- Please remember our school has students from PreK-2, so some of our younger students may need a little extra time entering vehicles and extra time may be needed for families to assist with buckling students into carseats or boosters.
- Help your child remember his/her car rider number. This will help us line up our students quickly inside the building before sending them to your cars in line.
If your child arrives by car in the morning, please pull all the way up to our sidewalk before allowing your child to exit the car. Please do not let your child out of the car at any other location.
Please help us keep all of our students safe as they arrive and depart from MPS!
