February 12 | East Mobile Dentist

Our school has partnered with Smile Programs, the mobile dentists, to offer convenient dental care right here at school. The mobile dentist provides a full range of services including exams, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride, sealants, and, when needed, fillings—all in the familiar school setting. Best of all, if your child is insured with Medicaid/CHIP, there’s usually no cost! They also offer options for private insurance and affordable self-pay. The Mobile Dentist will visit East Intermediate on February 12. Sign your child up today by visiting this link or by returning the permission form sent home.

Counselor Appreciation Week is February 2nd- 6th! We celebrated our outstanding guidance counselor all week long. Mrs. Hammond goes above and beyond to support and encourage our students. She was hired in the district in 1999 and has been here at East since it was built in 2005.

Mrs. Hammond's thoughtful encouragement and consistent presence helps students to feel seen and supported. She is constantly reaching beyond the school walls to support families. Our students love when she teaches lessons in the classrooms and enjoy small group lunch buddy time with her. Please encourage your child to say thank you to Mrs. Hammond for all she does to make East a wonderful place to learn and grow!

This week, our 6th graders became math detectives in an engaging escape room adventure called "Escape Horatio's Haunted House". Trapped inside a "haunted" mansion by the owner, Horatio Ratio, students had to use their math skills to disarm the security system and unlock the doors before time ran out. Working in teams, students solved five clues that required them to apply their knowledge of ratios to real-world situations.

This week, we played our favorite spelling game, SPARKLE, to practice words with the /ch/, /sh/, and /j/ sounds! Next, we practiced the meaning of Theme and how that is different from a Topic and Main Idea! Lastly, these students are getting prepared for our Ohio State State by writing a full essay! We worked as a class to complete a 4-paragraph essay comparing and contrasting 2 famous figures in history: Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla!

At Midview East, we view attendance not only as a requirement but as a commitment. We want every student to feel supported, encourages, and motivated to be in school each day. Consistent attendance is the foundation of learning and plays a vital role in helping students succeed in both the classroom and beyond.

We're excited to shout out a student who's showing up and giving their best!

Quarter 2 PERFECT Attendance All-Star: Oliver Kershaw

Thank you, for showing up each day, giving your best, and being Ready, Responsible, and Respectful!

To celebrate the end of the quarter, students enjoyed a movie and hot cocoa as a special reward. This celebration was earned through consistent effort—students had to accumulate enough Kickboard points and have no more than one F for the quarter. It was a well-deserved incentive that recognized positive behavior, accountability, and commitment to their learning.
