New Parent Communication Tool
Midview Local Schools will soon introduce a new K-12 teacher-to-parent communication tool called Rooms. Integrated with our Midview App, Rooms will replace apps that are currently utilized, including Class Dojo, Remind, and Bloomz! The Rooms feature will become available in our app near the middle of February. In the coming weeks, you will receive an invitation with instructions on how to join Rooms and access your child’s classroom and teacher! In the meantime, please download the free Midview Local Schools App (if you haven't already!) from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Counselor Appreciation Week
Next week is Counselor Appreciation Week! We are excited to celebrate our guidance counselor here at East. Mrs. Hammond was hired in the district in 1999 and has been here at East since it was built in 2005.
Tammy's thoughtful encouragement and consistent presence helps students to feel seen and supported. She is constantly reaching beyond the school walls to support families. Our students love when she teaches lessons in the classrooms and enjoying small group lunch buddy time with her.
We took time to show her some love by writing what we love about her on a heart and decorating the windows outside her office with them. Please help us wish her a happy counselor appreciation week!
