MAP assessments (taken in the fall, winter, and spring), joined with other data points, provide detailed, actionable data about where each child is on his or her unique learning path. The winter assessment will measure our students’ progress in reading (grades 3 & 4) and math (grades K, 3, & 4).

Gifted Identification

The referral window to recommend a student for gifted identification in the areas of superior cognitive ability, academic ability, creativity, and/or visual performing arts is now live. If you feel your child may meet the criteria as established by the State Department of Education and the Midview Local School District, please complete the following questionnaire no later than Friday, Jan. 9, 2024.

Colder Weather

As colder weather settles into Ohio, please remember to send your child to school prepared with a hat, gloves, and coat. We will continue to enjoy outdoor recess any day that is above 25 degrees, with wind chill.

The month of January is Board of Education appreciation month. We are so thankful for our board members and wanted to show them how much they mean to us. Our students created different cards and art work for a display in our main common area. There's "snowbody" like you - thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Cote, our art teacher, recently wrote a grant to spruce up the West hallways with student art work. The displays allow us to showcase all kinds of different art created by our students. Check out below for our current displays.
