Summer is always a busy time in The Midview Schools, as we prepare for the start of a new school year. Our staff is busy at work repairing, maintaining and deep cleaning the school buildings, teachers are already in their rooms preparing for their students, and students are on campus getting a head start on the new year.

 At the elementary schools, more than 60 students are enrolled in “Smart Start,” a program that helps our students review skills learned the previous year and brush up on homework helpers and test taking techniques. At the middle school, more than 100 students are taking advantage of the “Getting Ready for 7th Grade” program, which concentrates on study and organization skills, while providing students with the opportunity to become familiar with the building and middle school expectations. And at the high school, the air is filled with the music of band camp, and our sports teams are hard at work, already proving they’re ready to give their competitors a tough fight.

 Together, we’re doing all we can to get this year started off on the right foot. Even as our schools face tough times, we are committed to providing our students with the opportunities they need to succeed. We look forward to seeing everyone back on the first day of school!
