Mileage Club


We are excited to offer Mileage Club to our students this year! Mileage Club is a running/walking club that will take place during lunch recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays (weather permitting) during the month of May. Students are given the optional opportunity to participate by running or walking laps and are able to win fun toe tokens based on how many laps they run.



WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!! Volunteering for Mileage Club is fun and easy. Volunteers will either be hole punching student's run cards when they finish each lap or standing along the course to ensure student's safety. You are welcome to bring younger siblings with you for this as well. Sign up here for as many or few dates as you are available!

Emergency Drills (April 24-May 5)

All schools in our District will be participating in emergency drills April 24 - May 5. Middleton will be participating in a Secure drill. These drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific protocols that would occur in an emergency situation. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near campus during a lockdown drill, as SPD officers do participate in these drills.


During a Secure drill, students are brought inside the school building and exterior building doors are locked, while students and staff may continue to use hallways or other common areas. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the building until the drill has been completed.


For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here

Middleton Attendance Emails

Sherwood schools are piloting a new system to keep families informed about their student’s attendance. Soon, all Middleton families will begin receiving a regular attendance email for each of their students. Regular attendance is important and our hope is that this will provide guardians with timely and meaningful information. We recognize that there are a variety of reasons for student absences including sickness and appreciate efforts to minimize the spreading of illnesses. In addition to this, we will continue to communicate with families whose students are not meeting the state attendance guidelines. As always, if we can help in any way with improving your child’s attendance, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or directly to me.

Character Trait of the Month: Generosity

The Character Trait of April is Generosity! Generosity is the quality of being kind and generous. “Generosity is what keeps the things we own from owning us.” ~Anonymous. Generosity isn’t about what you have to give, it’s what have left, your availability to serve others. Let’s teach our kids to be generous, kids often think they have nothing to give, we can show them otherwise! If you need ideas for your child let PAC Volunteer coordinator Melissa Horton know @ middletonpacboard@gmail.com
