ASVAB Testing – this Friday 12/10 for Seniors

Seniors, still looking at options for “life after high school?”  Interested in learning more about your skills and career opportunities?  Take the ASVAB (free to students) this Friday, December 10 – during the school day.  

The ASVAB [Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery]  program has been re-designed to be helpful to virtually all students – whether the plan is immediate employment after high school in civilian or military occupations, or further education at a university, community college, or vocational institution.  Sign up using the link at the bottom of this document:  ASVAB Information and Sign up.

Student Names on Dismissals

Parents, please refrain from solely using nicknames on student notes.  Any student note should always have the student identification number and the name of the student upon enrollment.  If your student has a preferred name or a nickname please put that in quotes following the enrolled name and student id. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dismissals

Please note that moving forward (starting on 12/2) only senior drivers will be dismissed a few minutes early from school, with all other students being dismissed at 3 P.M.  The multiple earlier dismissal times for all students was only intended to be a temporary measure to alleviate the transportation issues and traffic concerns at dismissal.  While we recognize we continue to face significant traffic in the morning and afternoon, it’s important we dismiss our students at their regularly scheduled time.  

Remember, you can always delay your pick up time in the afternoon to 3:15 / 3:20 P.M. to avoid the heavy traffic.

If you wish for your student to return to riding a school bus, please follow the directions below.

• Open ParentVue – Click Student information, and then click on the edit information button.  
• Locate the transportation information section – change the type in the A.M. and P.M. to bus.  Save your changes.

Please allow transportation approximately two weeks to update your student’s transportation status to ensure they are routed correctly.

Please contact our front office at 378-2440 if you have any questions.

Chesterfield Technical Center Opportunities

The Chesterfield Technical Center (CTC) is a wonderful opportunity for our students.  Students who are enrolled in a program through the CTE are often some of our most engaged students.  They can earn a license, certification and/or college credit before they graduate in the career field of their choice!

The CTC has courses for everyone and rising 11th and 12th graders can apply soon!  Applications open January 17th and an Open House at both campuses is scheduled for December 4th.  

9th grade students can also attend the open house to get excited about future opportunities, but you can not enroll until your sophomore year.  

Watch the video linked below for more information!

Attendance

We have prepared attendance notes that you can download and fill out for your student’s tardy, dismissal, and absence.  Click here (or visit https://bit.ly/MidloNote).   In addition some friendly reminders for parents and students are as follows.

Notes for dismissal, absence, or tardy:

• Should be dropped off to the attendance office upon arrival at school, or between the first block and Midlo morning.  

If someone other than a parent/guardian is picking up your child for an early dismissal:

• We need that in writing as students can be dismissed only on the request and authorization of the parent or legal guardian.  
• Students shall not be released during the school day to any person not authorized by the student’s parent or legal guardian.

Students returning to school from an appointment:

• Are required to check back in with the attendance office upon arrival.

Students who become sick at school:

• Must request to see the nurse. Students should not text home to be picked up before seeing the nurse.
• The clinic will contact the parent if pick-up is needed. The school must document any student leaving school ill.

Questions or notes regarding attendance can be sent to [email protected] or call 804-378-2440 ext. 4127.
