Middleton 24-25 Class Placement Parent Input

zoom_out_map

As the end of the year approaches, we are starting to look ahead to next school year. The Middleton staff realizes that parents provide valuable information regarding their child’s placement. While we do not take requests for specific teachers, parent input will be carefully considered in the formation of classes for the 2023-2024 school year. Our class placement process is a collaborative one and our Placement Team takes into account a number of factors when forming classes: personalities, academic levels, learning styles, learning needs, and student compatibility. We look at each student as an individual and as a member of a diverse class. This information will be given careful consideration. Every effort will be made to provide the most appropriate educational setting for your child and to establish well-balanced classrooms. Please keep in mind that parent placement input is not a teacher request form. Any form turned in with a specific teacher’s name request will not be considered.


Please complete this survey no later than 5 pm on Sunday, May 12, 2024.

Middleton Carnival

The Middleton Carnival is coming up on May 31 from 4pm - 8pm. Join us with your family for food, games, prizes, and lots of fun! We are in need of many volunteers to run games and activities. Please consider signing up to help make our carnival a fun event for our kiddos. Click the sign up link to see how you can help. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you there!

Mileage Club

Mileage club encourages kids to experience walking/jogging/running in a non competitive environment. Students log laps during lunch recess and parents help to punch cards and motivate kids as they have fun with fitness. When the card is full, kids earn prizes that they can only get from Mileage Club! The best part of the club is that it is FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS!! On the days your student will be participating please have them wear appropriate shoes for this activity. Mileage club runs every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of May (May 3rd to May 28th) weather permitting.


The more the volunteers the better!! Grab your friends and check out our SignUp Genius and pick the day(s) that work for you.
