Middie Release for Seniors and Juniors

• Students who have been approved for Middie Release and see it listed on their schedules may begin their release period starting on the first day of school. Middie Release will show as Study Hall Sem 1 (MR) on the schedule if it has been approved already.

FinalForms Reminder

All FinalForms must be completed before the start of the school year to ensure we have current contact and medical information, as well as the required acknowledgments of district policies. If you have not yet completed your forms, please log in to your FinalForms account and submit all required information as soon as possible.

• Please note: Students must have a completed FinalForms account to participate in extracurricular activities and to purchase a Homecoming ticket for October 2, 2026.

Student Lockers

Student lockers are available upon request. Locker requests may be submitted on the first day of school or at any time during the year by completing the Locker Request Form. Many students choose to request a locker later in the year as winter weather or extracurricular activities require them to bring additional items to school.

Supplies & Materials

Midview High School teachers will provide supply lists for their respective courses at the beginning of the school year.

Breakfast & Lunch

Cafeteria menus and information regarding student meal accounts can be found on the Midview Local Schools Food Services web page.

Free & Reduced-price Meals

This school year, the State of Ohio's biennial budget includes funding to cover the cost of providing no-cost breakfast and lunch to students who qualify for reduced-price meals. This means all families eligible for free OR reduced-price meals will receive breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE, provided they complete the required application.

• Visit the Food Services web page for additional information and eligibility criteria or apply directly through PaySchools Central.

MHS Parking

All students who are planning on driving and parking in the high school parking lot must fill out their parking application and pay $35 to Mrs. Onderko in the MHS main office (more info here). Seniors wanting to paint their parking spot (see more info in the Class of 2027 section below) must pay an additional $25, which will go into the event fund for the Class of 2027. JVS students do not have to pay for parking as long as they park in the JVS lot located on the northeast corner of the MHS property. JVS students should stop in the main office to receive their assigned spot and parking pass.
