From the Principal
Hello, Midland Mustang Families,
I am happy to announce the addition of Mr. Eddie Nunez as the new Assistant Principal at Midland Elementary School starting July 1st. Mr. Nunez comes to us by way of his most recent work in the Puyallup School District, where he was an Administrative Intern at Karshner Elementary School. Mr. Nunez received his Bachelors Degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkley, and his Masters in counseling from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He has most recently been the school counselor for 5 years at Karshner, is a former 6th grade teacher, and is fluent in Spanish!
The Midland Elementary community will be fortunate to have Mr. Nunez joining us!
~Mrs. Dawson
Fifth Grade Celebration!
You are invited to come to Midland between 2:00-6:00 on June 8th. Please drive into the bus zone to celebrate "social distance style!" We will have a PHOTO BOOTH where families can take a picture of their student holding their promotion certificate. We will also have refreshments "to go!" Fifth grade teachers want to celebrate the end of your elementary school years, so please be sure to come!
Oh, and don't forget your library books and Wonders/Math Expressions curriculum! Fifth grade students will have the opportunity to keep their laptops through the summer and will not need to be returned on Monday.
Laptops will only need to be returned for Midland students who are moving.
CALLING ALL LIBRARY BOOKS AND TEXT BOOKS....
On June 8th from 2:00-6:30, we are asking you to do a quick drive into the Midland parking lot to do these things. We will follow social distancing, so you won't even need to leave your car!
1) Return student library and curriculum (Wonders and Math Expressions) books which were taken home when school closed. (Remember that your child can keep the laptop over the summer for extended learning and practice.)
2) Pick up your child's items from their desk and cubbies. Teachers will have this prepared in a bag for you.
3) Pick up any medications that were at school.
If you cannot make the June 8th date and time, please let your teacher know so we can make other arrangements to get your items.
School Medication Pick up
Monday, June 8th will be the day to pick up any medication that is still left at Midland. All medications will be ready for pick up from 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm on that day.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
Take care and stay healthy!
Your school nurse,
Debbie Stippich, LPN
