October is a busy month at Midland Trail. Mark your calendars!

This week is KINDNESS WEEK at MTE. Monday - Wear Blue, Tuesday - Wear Pink, Wednesday - Picture Day, Thursday - PJ Day, Friday - Positivi-tee Shirt Day!

The Turner Days PARADE is coming! Each year our community comes together for Turner Days, which includes a parade and an all day event with games, entertainment, and food. This year we will be inviting students and parents to join us in the parade. MTE and the Tiger will be walking down 55th street. Students wishing to join the parade should be at THS by 9:45am on Saturday 10/14. A parent/adult must stay with students.

Parking at MTE is changing. We have currently been able to utilize the grass/side of 51st street along the front of our building as parking for school events. The district has installed underground water pipes and we can no longer park along the street. We will utilized the parking behind MTE at by the fields at Highland Park for all school events.

Our Building Site Council will meet tomorrow, Tuesday 10/3 at 4:30pm in the Library. Parents are invited to attend. Ideally, we would like to have 2 parent representatives. The Building Site Council meets about 4 times per year. This group consists of staff, parents, and community members that meet once per quarter to learn more about our school, support us in making decisions, and help us become more involved in our community. If you can serve on the BSC please attend and/or let us know!

Thank you,

Dr. Aron Attebery, Principal

Join PTA! Our PTA needs YOU! We need more support in order to keep PTA moving forward at Midland Trail. The commitment is small. We meet once a month, after school, for 30-45 minutes. We plan a few activities each year: Back To School, Classroom Parties, Teacher Treats, Candy Sales, and our biggest event is the MTE Carnival. We cannot do this without more support. Please consider joining PTA and offering to help out once a month.

Applications must be renewed every year.

We encourage you to complete the free/reduced meal application for the 23-24 school year as you may be eligible to continue receiving the free meal benefit.

For more information, contact Megan Rabun, Food Services Coordinator, at (913) 288-4141.

Bus Rider Families,

As you are aware, our transportation department utilizes Traversa Ride 360 for our bus tracking platform. This technology allows parents/guardians to see information about their student's route, including the times that their student gets on and off the bus.

In order for this platform to work correctly, students are issued a bus card that they must scan when they get on and off the bus.

If you are not familiar with Traversa Ride 360, you can find more information here: https://www.turnerusd202.org/departments/transportation

Doors open at 8:20 am

School Safety: Adults entering the building must have valid I.D.

Early Pick Up:

Parents/Guardians: Please remember if you are picking up your child/children to have ID with you. Visitors are only allowed in the school office.

Transportation:

When you fill out the Online Registration you will decide if your child is riding the bus or being a car rider. This information will be shared with the teacher. If you need to change daily transportation you must call the office BEFORE 3:15pm. This gives us enough time to notify the teacher and student of any change.
