Dear Middlebrook Famlies,

This week Middlebrook announced our teacher and paraprofessional of the year. We would love to congratulate Mrs. Ebert, grade 3 teacher, as an outstanding representative of all things that make Middlebrook such a special place. Also, Mrs. Stephanie Hawkins, our reading paraprofessional, exemplifies how our amazing staff supports both our student body and our teachers. Please join us in congratulating two of our terrific educators.

- Parents are encouraged to wear school colors, spirit wear or THS colors.

- Runners should eat a healthy breakfast and bring a water bottle labeled with their first and last name. Please do not send food or snacks on the field with your child.

- We need volunteers. Volunteers will be responsible for directing students onto the infield, helping to organize them by grade, leading them to the start line and handing out medals when they return. - Please let me know if you can help out!!

- Please park in the lots to the left of THS (when looking at THS). Many areas around the track will be blocked off for runners.

- Each school will have tables set up in the infield of the track - our school will likely have the table closest to the entrance!! Between 8:30-8:45 am you can check your student in at the MB table and then head to the MB section of the stands to watch the fun. (This is not a drop off event.)

- Parents are not allowed on the infield after they check their child in. Please wait until all students have crossed the finish line to pick up your students. We cheer until the last runner crosses. If you need to leave early please arrange this with me or the check in staff before the event starts.

- We will accept donations for the Trumbull Food Pantry. Consider bringing a non-perishable item or hygiene item to make a donation to the Food Pantry. The complete list is available at this link: https://www.trumbull-ct.gov/573/Food-Pantry-Needs-List

News from the Nurse- Grade 3

In accordance with the Connecticut Statues, the Trumbull Board of Education’s policy on Physical Health assessments requires all students to have a current Physical Health Assessment when in 3rd Grade.

The physical must be completed between June 1, 2022 through June 1, 2023, so that your child may continue to attend the Trumbull School system.

Moving/Changing Schools?

If you will be moving / changing schools for the 2023-24 school year, please let your child's classroom teacher and the Middlebrook office know. This will help make a smooth transition for your child and allow time for staff to prepare necessary paperwork.
