Dear Midland Families,
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Spring Break! We are now moving into what has traditionally been a busy time in the school year. Before long we will have end of year assessments, Spring conferences, and our end of year celebrations.
As we return to school, I just want to offer these reminders:
- Students can be dropped off starting at 8:45.
- The school day begins at 8:55.
- We serve breakfast to any student who would like to eat.
- All students must have a cleared health attestation before 8:30.
- If someone in your family is positive or being tested for COVID, please keep your student home to quarantine, even if they do not currently have symptoms.
- If your child has spring allergies, we will need a Dr. note with that diagnosis. Otherwise, if your child is coughing and sneezing, they will be sent home, out of precaution.
It's great to be a MUSTANG!
~Mrs. Dawson

Midland wants to STOP Covid at the door!
Just a reminder that you need to complete a health screening questionnaire EVERY morning by 8:30 am. This survey will come to your email, but you can also set it up to be sent as a text to your phone, for easy completion. If you have not filled out the form, your child will not be allowed to enter class until we have heard from you to answer questions, and have your child's temperature taken. Please see the button below for specific information regarding the Daily Health Check, as well as what to do if you are having trouble receiving the email.
PLEASE do your part before school, so that your child can go to class when they arrive.
- Students will be required to wear a mask on the bus, in the halls, in class, and at recess.
- Students will wash hands and use hand sanitizer throughout the day.
- Students will sit 6 feet apart in the classroom.
If your child has been exposed to COVID, or if they are showing symptoms of illness, you may not send them to school until they have been quarantined and symptom free for 14 days. Teachers will provide work for students during this time. We are counting on everyone to keep Midland safe for all students and staff. Thank you!
Over the nose it goes! Over the chin, you win!
