Dear Parents and Families,
Thank you for a wonderful school year and sharing your children with us! It is such a privilege to work with our Central Avenue Wildcats! We have an amazing group of students that are talented well beyond what any test can measure. We've loved seeing them grow this year in ways that exceeded our greatest expectations and you were a huge part of that. Thank you for your partnership this year!
We hope you have a fun and adventurous summer. Look for our monthly newsletter to resume in mid-August for beginning of the school year updates.
It's great to be a Wildcat-
Mrs. Middling

Summer Reading at PCL
SUMMER READING CHALLENGE. For all ages. For all readers. Reading is an important way to stay engaged during the summer. The library provides reading experiences for all ages to find enrichment and enjoyment in reading, minimize the summer slide, and maintain academic skills. Twenty minutes a day will add up to five, ten or fifteen hours over the summer! Click here for more information!

Students will attend school 5 days a week. The District will adhere to all state-mandated requirements and local health guidelines to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment.

- 3 feet of physical distancing in the classroom
- Students and staff wearing masks
- Frequent hand washing/sanitizing
- Schools will return to normal bell schedule times
- Weekly early releases on Wednesdays will remain for all students
- Transportation will return to normal operations
2021-2022 Immunization Requirements
2021-2022 Enrollment
We are currently registering new kindergarten through grade 5 students who live within our attendance boundaries or have daycare in our area. If you live outside of the Franklin Pierce Schools boundaries, and attend Central Avenue because of daycare, a district waiver form is needed from your home resident school district. Current students are automatically enrolled for next year. Enrollees must provide a copy of your child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residence. To be eligible for kindergarten, children must be five years of age by August 31, 2021. On-line registration is available on the district website. Click on the "Enroll for 2021-2022" button, and follow the steps.
Attention Parents of Students with District Releases
Now is the time to get your releases! The deadline for school choice/releases to have your children considered for placement at Midland next year is May 31st.
Out of District - If you live outside of the Franklin Pierce district boundaries please click here to submit your Choice Transfer form. Please note that if you live in the Bethel School District, you must contact them directly to get your release. Once you receive the release, you will need to send it to our office (Bethel does not automatically send it to us).
With-In District - If your child attended Midland on a within district transfer, please click here and complete the Within District Transfer Request form.
Overload students – If your child is currently enrolled at Midland on overload from another school in our district, you must enroll as soon as possible in your home school. This ensures that your child will be included in the spring placement process. Please remember that your child will be withdrawn from Midland at the end of the 2020-21 school year.
Daycare - If your child attends Midland for daycare purposes, the daycare forms can be located here.
