Students in grades 3 and 5 will be taking the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) in February. This test is designed to assess a child’s performance across a wide variety of reasoning skillsets. As always, it is important for your children to be prepared and ready for learning each day so they can put forth their best effort. Healthy habits of eating, sleeping and getting plenty of rest allow ALL of us to perform at our highest level.

Congratulations to our students who demonstrate exemplary bus behaviors. We are very proud of your positive example! (Missing from the photo: Evan D)

Grade 1 created loving art projects under the expertise of Mrs. Jacovino, art teacher.

Ms. Carrano's class worked with Mrs. Colucci to understand the concept of scale in maps using the text "Maps and Globes".

Fourth graders in Ms. Schaefer’s class used fraction bars during math workshop to generate and record equivalent fractions with smaller units.

Mrs. Susan Fink has been an English as a Second Language teacher for 29 years, 22 of them at Middlebrook. She loves working with students from all over the world and from right here in Trumbull and watching them learn to speak, read and write in English. She is married and lives in Monroe. She has a son (21) and daughter (24). Mrs. Fink loves to read, do yoga, walk and travel as much as she can. She recently went to Portugal with her family. The farthest place Mrs. Fink has traveled to was China. After graduate school, Mrs. Fink had a fellowship to teach English in Slovakia. It is no surprise that her favorite event at Middlebrook is the International Festival!
