Middleton Update
March 13, 2025
Dear Middleton Families,
Our Kindergarten Open House is TODAY from 4:00-6:00. If you will have a kindergartener next year, please come! If you have friends or neighbors who will be Middleton kindergarteners next year, please invite them! We'd love to see you SOON!
Sincerely,
Natasha
Lockdown Drill
We will have our second lockdown drill between March 12 and 23. Lockdown drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff practice specific protocols that would occur in an emergency situation. This drill will not be announced to students or staff in advance to allow for an accurate observation of any response protocols that need improvement or additional training. 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 lockdown drill, staff and students are secured within their individual classrooms/offices, and there is no movement in the building. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the campus until the drill has been completed.
For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here.

Attention Parents of 3rd-5th Grade Girls
Girls on the Run is back this spring! While the name says "run," this is NOT a track program — it's a fun, uplifting after-school program that inspires girls to be active, set goals, and build confidence. Whether walking, skipping, dancing, or running — all movement is celebrated! Along the way, girls learn essential life skills like friendship, empathy, and teamwork — all while preparing for a celebratory 5K at the end of the season. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to empower your girl!
Program Details:
- Open to 3rd-5th grade girls
- Season runs March 17 – May 31
- Middleton Tu/Fr 2:30-4:00 pm practices
- Culminates in a 5K Celebration where girls move at their own pace
- Register here: Spring Registration Link
- Scholarships available — no questions asked, pay what you can!
