From the Principal:
Dear Parents and Families,
Our Midland students and staff impress me every day! Our mid-year benchmark testing shows that our kids have been working hard to make growth in their reading and math skills. It also shows that our teachers have been working hard, meeting our kids where they are and taking them further. Now that we have this data, our teachers will continue to teach our Wonders Reading program, which incorporates grammar and writing skills, and our Math Expressions program. Students who need additional time to learn skills will receive that during our intervention block. Additionally, our teachers are also preparing daily science lessons, and students also have one specialist, either library, music, PE, or Counseling. Every minute of school is filled with learning. It is of utmost importance that students are at school on time, all day, every day to meet their learning goals. Thank you for helping your student to be at school each day!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dawson
