Three Things to Know

First Day of School

We are excited to welcome our first and second-graders back with the rest of the Midview campus on September 3! Kindergarten parents/guardians, please note the soft start schedule below that we will follow to allow our youngest learners to adjust to the school day more comfortably:

  • ONLY kindergarteners with last names beginning with A-L will attend on September 3.
  • ONLY kindergarteners with last names beginning with M-Z will attend on September 4.
  • ALL kindergarten students will attend together on September 5.

North Elementary School begins at 8:20 a.m. and dismisses at 3:15 p.m. As a reminder, students are permitted in the buildings 20 minutes before the start of the day! Staff members will be available to help them find their classrooms, navigate the building, and walk to/from their buses.

FinalForms

If you have not yet done so, please log into your FinalForms account to review information, make any necessary changes, and sign off for the new school year. This quick process, which takes less than 10 minutes, is REQUIRED for all families. If you’ve already completed your forms—thank you!


All FinalForms must be completed by Monday, September 23. For safety reasons, students with incomplete forms after this date will not be allowed to attend school until their forms are complete.

Note for Kindergarten Families

It’s natural for our youngest Middies to feel excited and a bit anxious during these first few days! To help our staff support them better, we kindly ask that you label your child’s backpack and clothing with their name and teacher’s name. Using tape, book bag tags, etc. is a great way to ensure we can easily identify them and their belongings.

Events & Reminders

Transportation

  • Car Riders: North and West student drop-off will occur from 8-8:20 a.m. at the “walking path” entrance at the back of the buildings. North and West dismissal will occur from 3:15-3:25 p.m. at the same location. Please familiarize yourself with our full drop-off and pick-up procedures by referencing the packet you received at Open House or by visiting our pick-up and drop-off web page.
  • Busing: As a reminder, all routes and bus-related updates/communication are shared with families through the StopFinder App (available for download in the App Store and Google Play). Please contact the Transportation Department at 440-748-2125 or visit our busing web page if you have any questions.


Attendance

If your child will be absent or tardy please telephone North Elementary School at 440-748-6869, Option #2, (preferably before 8:00 a.m.), and state the reason for the absence/tardy. If such a call is not received, the school will attempt to verify absences by our automated phone system the day the absence occurs. Read more about our attendance procedures and what to do if your child is tardy to school on our attendance web page.


Breakfast & Lunch

Cafeteria menus and information regarding student meal accounts can be found on the Midview Local Schools Food Services web page.


Chromebooks

Our first and second-grade students will be assigned a Chromebook on the first day of school. Students are expected to charge their Chromebooks each night and take reasonable care of their device, charger, and Chromebook case! Kindergarten classrooms utilize tablets during the school day.


Midview Local Schools App - Rooms

As you may recall, we introduced our PK-12 teacher-to-parent communication tool, Rooms, last year. Integrated with the Midview Local Schools app, Rooms makes it easy for parents and guardians to connect with their child’s classroom and teacher!


We’re excited to share that staff will be active in Rooms beginning the first week of school! Please be patient as we iron out any initial issues, and don’t worry if you can’t see all of your student’s classes right away! Returning families can log in as usual, while new families will receive an email or text invitation with instructions on how to join. If you haven't already, please download the free Midview Local Schools App from the Apple App Store or Google Play!


Library Cards for Midview Students

Exciting news! Your child will soon receive a FREE student library card from the Grafton-Midview Public Library. This initiative, in partnership with the Midview Local School District, aims to enhance access to educational and recreational materials, as research shows that library cardholders often perform better in school.


The card allows your child to borrow books, PG/G movies, music, and audiobooks, request library item deliveries to their school, access digital resources for homework, and register for library events. Note that the card has a limit of 5 items at once and cannot be used for equipment, games, kits or other objects. Families will be financially responsible for borrowed items and should monitor the items their child(ren) checks out. If you wish to opt out of this program, please fill out the following form.

Featured Story

Welcome Back Middies!

We had an incredible turnout for our Open House, and it was truly heartwarming to see so many smiles from both our staff and students! The children were excited to see their lockers, check out their name tags, and meet their teachers.


Families, thank you for making it such a successful, happy event. Your continued support for the school and investment in your child's education was very apparent. We look forward to an exciting school year ahead. See you all soon!

Staff Spotlights

Megan Poelking, Main Office Secretary

Years in the district: 8 years

Reason(s) I chose to pursue my position at Midview Local Schools: I have always wanted to work with children. As my children got older, I found myself missing the joy of helping kids!

Some of my hobbies/interests outside of my career: Spending time with my family and being outside when it's warmer out

I am not a big fan of: Spiders

Working at Midview Local Schools has taught ME: To be patient, understanding, and learning different ways to help out students.

Amy Resear, Clinic Secretary

Years in the district: 2 years

What excites me most about my job: Every day is different! Unfortunately, I see the students when they are not feeling their best or need a band aid. So I love that my job is to make them feel better and give them that little extra care to get through their day.

Three adjectives students would use to describe me: Keeper of the band aids, Ice pack maker, Master of the daily jokes

A few of my favorite things include: Seeing the world through my granddaughter's eyes, Watching college softball, Road trips to places with no cell service, And most of all spending time with my daughter Lindsey.

What is most important to me in my role: Keeping the children healthy and making them laugh. I really believe that laughter is the best medicine.
