  1. School fees, including computer insurance
  2. Lunches
  3. Athletic passes

All fees need paid by August 15 to ensure the money gets into the student account prior to the first day of school.

Parents and students should be able to see their students’ lunch account balance and the charges made to their account during the year in their PowerSchool account. Lunch account balances at the end of last year rolled over to this school year. Parents of middle/high school students are strongly encouraged to discuss the amount you want your child to spend on ala carte items.

If anyone can help with this program they are taking monetary donations or donated school supplies as well.

Middle schoolers can only change their participation in music. They were signed up for band and/or vocal per parent request at the end of the school year. To change this have a parent email a counselor or Mrs. Hansen in the office. Sixth grade parents will need to let the office know what they want their child signed up for. Band and vocal alternate in the same period every other day. Students not in band/vocal will be assigned to a study hall instead.

MIDLAND LIVE STREAMING

This is the new site we will be using for streaming this year. It is still free but ties into our Hudl camera that is installed in the gold gym.
