District Update - Feb. 19
As a reminder, Presidents’ Day is tomorrow, and Midview Local Schools will be closed in observance of the holiday. Mostly appreciated as an extra day off of work, this holiday is meant to honor all of our nation’s presidents, past and present. It is the perfect opportunity to talk to our Midview students about our presidents, their role in government, and the electoral process. Like many of the discussion topics in our classrooms, it can be a shared learning experience and lead to interesting conversations at home (and maybe even a family competition of who can name the most presidents)!
With the fourth and final quarter on the horizon, families are encouraged to attend our last round of parent-teacher conferences. Meet with teachers to better understand what your child is learning at school, their academic and social-emotional progress, and what you can do to support them. If we all continue to work together, our students will have great success through the end of the 2023-24 school year! Please check your building newsletters or web page for conference dates and scheduling information.
On a final note, and on behalf of the Midview community, I wish our winter athletes good luck as they enter the final weeks of their seasons. Many of our athletes and teams will compete in championships and tournaments in the following days and weeks. Please visit the athletics website for scheduling and show your support!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of the Midview Local School District. I look forward to another exciting week on the Midview campus!
Take care,
Dr. Bruce Willingham

Stopit Solutions
Should your student experience bullying or hear of others who are experiencing bullying, please remember that the best course of action is to, first, contact your building administrator by email or phone. Staff and administration work diligently to address and correct situations as they happen, but we also rely on our students and parents/guardians to bring situations to our attention when necessary.
The district also partners with STOPit Solutions. STOPit is a desktop and mobile app reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors. STOPit has two simple but powerful features:
- Report can be used by students to report incidents to school contacts anonymously.
- Messenger can be used to engage in anonymous two-way communication with school contacts.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to maintain a culture of kindness!
GeoAlerts Now Available on Stopfinder
As you know, this year Midview Transportation has been using the new parent app, Stopfinder. We are excited to share that one of its features, GeoAlerts, is now available for use! GeoAlerts allow parents/guardians to create alert zones and receive notifications when their student’s bus enters or leaves an area. We hope this additional feature proves useful in tracking and timing your child’s journey to and from school.
Please visit our Transportation web page or watch this short video for a step-by-step guide on how to set up GeoAlerts. As always, please contact the Transportation Department should you have any questions.
