Attention Midd-West High School Students: Classes will continue as remote learning until the winter break. We are currently scheduled to return to in building instruction on Monday, January 4th, 2021. All students are reminded that they must attend their regularly scheduled classes during their regularly scheduled times utilizing the Microsoft Teams platform. If you experience any connectivity issues, you must contact your teacher, as attendance is still being kept during remote learning.

Student Lunches are available weekdays through December 16 at the High School. Pick up at Shuman St. Main Entrance.

Correction, Tech students who ride the bus CAN be picked up at home by their regular bus and transported to the High School to catch the bus to Sun Tech. Sorry for the confusion!

Midd-West High School will move to remote learning from Friday, December 11th through Wednesday, December 16th. We will return to in building instruction on Thursday, December 17th. All students are expected to follow their schedules and attend any live or recorded Teams sessions. Additionally, please check Sapphire daily for posted assignments. Parents may contact their child's teacher with any questions. Tech students who ride the bus from the high school to Sun Tech will still be transported at their regular time. Parents will need to provide transportation to the high school.

Due to the current distance learning model the High School is following, it will be necessary to push back the distribution of interim reports to provide the teachers the time necessary to enter make up assignments. Therefore, rather than interim reports being distributed on 12/7/2020, they will be distributed on 12/15/2020.

Hello again FFA students. If you cannot meet the times during school (7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) to drop off your fruit orders the following times can be utilized for curbside drop-offs at the Agricultural Department entrance (number 10 - which is the entrance to the fitness center and locker room areas as well): Monday or Tuesday 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Simply enter the vestibule area and drop completed order packet in the box. Mr. Erb or Miss Liska will take it from there. Please do not enter the 300 hallway, just the vestibule area where the box is.

The play centers around a series of unfortunate, crazy, and disastrous blind dates for the two main characters. Our small cast will take you on an adventure of laughs and love. We are planning to do live performances on November 13th and 14th at the high school. However, we will not be offering advanced ticket sales for these performances.

An online streaming option will be made available for families to enjoy at home via ShowShare by Broadway On Demand.
