IMPORTANT UPDATE ON SENIOR PHOTOS:
All Midd-West Sun Area Tech seniors will be photographed in the west campus CDL room at Sun Area Tech instead of the MWHS. This change is due to the Sun Area Tech students going back to school 5 days a week instead of hybrid.
ATTENTION SENIORS AND PARENTS!!!!! See the below post for senior portrait information. All of the portraits are going to be done in school and you can purchase prints or packages. This will save you time and money from having to schedule your own senior photos. ALL SENIORS MUST HAVE PHOTOS TAKEN IN SCHOOL IN ORDER TO BE IN THE YEARBOOK. For more information contact rvanhorn@mwsd.cc

Attention 8th grade students, if you still have not handed in your laptop from last year, you must bring it with you on the first day of school on Monday. Please remember bring the charger cord as well.
Attention MWHS students, any student who STILL has a textbook in their possession from last school year, please bring the book(s) along with you to back to school night tonight from 5:00-6:30 if you are attending, or if you aren’t attending this evening, bring the text(s) on the first day of school.
Reminder to all incoming 8th grade students, you must return your laptop to the high school. You will be receiving a different machine this year. You must hand in your current machine before you may receive the new one. Machines can be brought to back to school night tomorrow at 5:00.
Attention seniors attending Sun Area Technical Institute, due to the change in the schedule, there will be two meetings with the attendees to accommodate the change in the schedule. All students scheduled to attend Sun Tech on Mondays and Wednesdays will meet Monday morning as originally scheduled. Students who are scheduled to meet Tuesdays and Thursdays will meet Tuesday morning, same scheduled time as Monday. Sun Area Technical Institute has informed us that they will be contacting seniors to let them know if they are a Monday/Wednesday or a Tuesday/Thursday cohort.
The bus assignments have been successfully uploaded to the Sapphire portal and ready for parents to view. The only post cards that are being mailed this year are for the kindergarten students. If you are having issues accessing the portal, you may contact the building secretary where your child is enrolled for assistance. As change requests and new enrollments are being processed daily, please recheck the portal closer to the first day of school for any updates. Thank you
Attention MWHS parents and students. On Wednesday August 19th, there will be a back to school night with a brief orientation for new students and 8th grade students as well as schedule pick-up for all students. Schedules will be available for pick up in the gymnasium that evening from 5:00 – 6:30. However, if you do not want to attend this event, schedules may be picked up in the main office from August 17th – August 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. Additionally during that time, new students and 8th grade students may find their locker and try out their combination and also request a brief tour. If you do not come in on the evening of the 19th or during the week of the 17th – 21st during the day, schedules will be available on the first day of school in the Supervised Study class. Schedules are also available on Sapphire, so students can find their Supervised Study room there.
On the first day, as soon as students enter the building they will either go to breakfast (and then to Supervised Study) or to their Supervised Study. For those without Sapphire access, there will be rosters posted at various locations for students to find their Supervised Study. From the second day on, all students will report to breakfast (and then to 1st period) or 1st period. The first day is the only day students will report to Supervised Study, which also serves as their homeroom, so they can retrieve their schedules.

The Midd-West School District Board of Directors and the Administration understands that there are many concerns about what a return to school may look like in August due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. School districts around the state are required to approve a Return to School Plan and submit that plan to the Pennsylvania Department of Education before returning to any type of in-person instruction in the fall. In an attempt to involve our stakeholders and have an open dialogue about what a return to school should look like in the fall, the Midd-West School District would like to invite community members to our buildings to learn about our tentative, draft plans. This way, we can learn how these plans may impact our families and attempt to find ways to make the plans reasonable, safe, and effective for all our constituents. The meetings are scheduled on the following evenings. Individuals may attend a session at the building that best meet their needs. The same information will be presented at each site so there is no need to attend multiple sessions. Date Time Location July 8th 6:00 pm Midd-West High School Auditorium July 9th 6:00 pm Middleburg Elementary School Gymnasium July 13th 6:00 pm Midd-West Middle School Gymnasium July 14th 6:00 pm West Snyder Elementary School Auditorium The following link takes you to a sign-up sheet for each building’s evening event. We ask that you complete the sign-up for each member of the family that plans to attend. We are trying to limit group to 250 individuals. We will schedule additional evenings, if needed, to host additional participants. Thank you for your understanding of this! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=zgCATiv4uEGfT4IC6Vco4hZWlT1JV8xDq58YA6far1FUQVYwQVBSVkNZUUhCRTJSVzE4Tk5GUE5QOC4u Lastly, the link at the bottom, takes you to a rough draft of the Midd-West School District’s Return to School Plan. This is still very much a work in progress. It is designed to be flexible, individualized, responsive, and adaptable for each family. If you have questions about the plan, but cannot attend any of the meetings, please send those to our email address at mwsd.info@mwsd.cc. We will attempt to answer them promptly and generate a list of frequently asked questions for everyone to access. Scenarios for Fall Learning 2020 - Draft https://5il.co/hqby
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 Prom will not occur on June 26th. A Prom is an event where social distancing cannot be enforced and therefore will not occur as planned. However, in an effort to accommodate the recent graduates, one complimentary ticket will be issued to each 2020 graduate for entry into the 2021 MWHS Prom.
Attention MWHS students, all personal items from lockers have been placed in individual bags and are ready for pick up. If you had personal items in your school locker, please stop by the high school ASAP, Monday - Thursday 9:00 - 2:00 to retrieve these items .

In an effort to attempt to make up for the lack of a move up day, the high school staff has opted to change from an open house night in September to a back to school night in August, assuming we have a “normal” start to the school year. Although this does not quite cover as much as a move up day covers, it is at least a chance for the students to become more familiar with the building and their upcoming teachers. Exact date and time will be released later this summer.
The Midd-West High School Band Project "My Shot" is finished. Thank you to all the students and alumni who helped out. This is the our salute to the 2020 Graduates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SDeRS57OCg&fbclid=IwAR39Nb1KKF-dh8knip2l05AG9-7HjcjO-6FYldMAs322iHV3qM03wsyUpEY
