REGISTRATION PAYMENTS
Midland only accepts cash or checks for payment methods. All checks should be made payable to Midland CSD. We also need payments separated into these three categories for accounting purposes:
- School fees, including computer insurance
- Lunches
- 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. Unfortunately the offices don’t have much cash, so please be sure to bring exact cash or close to it, we can’t break large bills.
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.
Here is the school fee list for 25-26 School Fees
Here is a payment of fees form so you can figure up what you owe and send it in if you prefer.
If questions, contact the building secretary.
SCHOOL LUNCH INFORMATION
If you feel your income will qualify for free or reduced lunches we encourage you to fill out the application form and turn it in to the school office ASAP. A hard copy of this application form will be mailed out during July to all households not direct certified. If you received this letter you will need to fill it out to qualify for free or reduced lunches this year. If you have any changes in income during the year please fill one out at that time as well. If you qualify for direct certification you will receive a letter with that information instead of the application form. If questions, contact Erika at the elementary building.

Middle/High School students should check their schedule in Powerschool after July 15th to see what classes they have so they can determine what school supplies are needed.
Thanks to the Jones County Family Council school supply help is available for students in grades 7-12. Sign up using the QR code on the flier attached above or call Sherri at 319-551-3402 and leave a message with the student name, school and school supplies needed. They will be delivered to MMHS by the first day of school.
If anyone can help with this program they are taking monetary donations or donated school supplies as well.

Open House is a great time for students to bring their school supplies and settle them in their desk or locker. Both buildings have a few new faces, come meet our new staff. Parents can tour the buildings and ask any questions they may have. Any fees not paid could be dropped off in the offices. Principal and counselor should be in both buildings.

SECONDARY COURSE SCHEDULING
Students in grades 7-12 can access their schedules in their PowerSchool account later in July or pick up a hard copy at our Open House or on the first day of school.
Tentative Master Course Schedule
High School Course Schedule Changes – high schoolers can make appointment online to visit with School Counselor Lasack on July 15, 24, 31 or August 5 and 14. Use her online scheduler to schedule your appointment. All course schedules need to be completed by the end of the day August 26th.
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.
As always, if you have ANY questions about school, registration, etc. please just give us a call at 319-259-5340 or stop in either building and talk to the office staff. We hope the 25-26 school year is the best one yet!
