FinalForms & Immunizations
If you haven’t done so already, please log into your FinalForms account to review information, make any necessary changes, and sign off for the new school year. This includes verifying that your child's immunizations are current and that all required documentation is provided.
For safety reasons, students who have not met these requirements by Monday, September 22, will not be permitted to attend school until their forms and immunization records are up to date. For detailed information on immunization requirements, please refer to the Events & Reminders section below.
Rooms
Make sure to join your child's teacher on Rooms! You can find Rooms in the Midview Schools app (available for download on Apple App Store or Google Play).

PowerSchool
Students in third and fourth grade received a letter during the first week of school with information on how to access PowerSchool. This account will allow you to check your student's grades and attendance conveniently.
Our first two weeks of school have been full of learning and getting used to new routines. Students have enjoyed fun "get to know you" activities, had the chance to explore the building, meet their special area teachers, and learn all about our PBIS program.
Students have already started earning Middie Money! Soon, they’ll be able to shop in our PBIS store, where they can spend their reward money on cool items like glow bracelets, water bottle stickers, Middie gear, and more. They can also save up to enjoy special experiences like extra STEM time, happy meals with the principal, and other exciting rewards!
We’re so proud of everyone’s hard work and can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
Last week, Ms. Rogerson’s class had a fun and interactive activity to help the students get to know one another! They began by pairing up and interviewing a partner to learn more about them, then switched. Once this was done, each child’s partner shared three things about them with the rest of the class. To make things even more exciting, everyone wrote down those three facts about themselves on a piece of paper (no names included!), crumpled it up to turn it into a “snowball,” and had a paper ball snowball fight! After a few minutes of tossing the snowballs around, each student picked up a random one, opened it, and read the facts out loud. They then guessed which classmate the facts described.
This activity was a fun, engaging way for the students to connect, laugh, and learn new things about each other. It helped build community in the classroom while making the process of introductions memorable and fun!
Mrs. Douglas’s class had a fun start to their math lesson on place value in the millions with a “Guess Who” math game! In Envisions Grade 4, Topic 1, students are learning how to understand the value of digits in big numbers, represent numbers in different ways, and compare and order numbers up to one million. They’re building important skills like identifying a digit’s place and value, knowing that each digit is ten times greater than the one to its right, and rounding numbers to the nearest hundred thousand. It’s an exciting step into big numbers!
Students in Carnahan’s class are excited to welcome a new classroom friend—a curious little goose who heard about their “lucky ducks” and wanted to see what it’s all about. The goose will soon be named as the class begins many fun learning adventures together!
