Get ready! We expect the Midtown Community School app to go live this week! This app is one secure, convenient place for families and staff to stay connected, including live feed updates & announcements, two-way messaging with teachers & staff, links to important calendars and documents, and classroom reminders, all with automatic translation. If you have more than one child at Midtown, you'll be able to view all their information in one place.

Watch for your invitation this week, sent by email from accounts@thrillshare.com and text from short code 20819. Click the link to activate your account, then download the free Midtown Community School app from the App Store or Google Play, or access it through a secure web browser.

We invite families to help us celebrate! We are looking for family members to share traditional clothing, cultural foods, music, dances, or performances during our school-wide Hispanic Heritage Month assembly. If you or a family member would like to participate, please reach out to Ms. Palacios at adriana.palacios@midtowncommunityschool.org

Our first pop-up food pantry at Midtown Community School is this Thursday, September 24th from 4-6 pm. The pantry is located at the walk-up entrance off Broadway Blvd. Please wait to enter the building after dismissal has finished. Our pantry is first-come, first-served. We only ask that you take what you need and sign in when you arrive. For questions, please email Ms. Jessie at jessica.cox@midtowncommunityschool.org.

We are excited to collaborate with KidSight’s vision screening program to provide free vision screenings for our elementary students. Grades Kindergarten through 5th grade will be screened on Tuesday, September 29th. Each screening only lasts about 30 seconds and all participating students will receive a detailed letter explaining the results and any recommended next steps with available resources. Middle school students can be screened at the request of caregivers. We will be sending more information home with your student this week, so please check their folders and backpacks. If you do not want your student to be screened, please sign and return the KidSight letter to opt out or contact Johanna Chambers, Director of Student Support, at johanna.chambers@midtowncommunityschool.org.

Rolland Studios will be at Midtown Community School on Monday, October 12 for school pictures! Families can order photo packages online before Picture Day and save on shipping. Prices will increase after Picture Day, so families are encouraged to order in advance.

Visit rollandkc.accessmyevent.com/MTCS or scan the QR code in the flyer to view photo options, choose backgrounds, build your own package, and order additional items.
