Middleton Families,

Earlier this week I shared that I was offered and accepted the position of Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Academic Programs for the district, which will start in July 2024. While I am excited for this opportunity, I am definitely sad to be leaving the Middleton community. As you know, Middleton is where I starting my teaching career 18 years ago. It's always held a special place in my heart and my love for our school and community has only grown over the last two years. I feel so fortunate to have served this incredible group of students and families.


While I will be here to finish out this school year with you and your children, the district will be starting the search for the next Middleton principal right away and you will have the opportunity to share your feedback with our hiring team during that process -- please stay tuned for more details on that in the coming days!


Please know that I remain committed to Middleton and will continue to do my very best for your children for the remainder of this year. I'm looking forward to finishing the year strong!


With appreciation,

Mili
