York Elementary School students and staff are working hard this morning with their academic studies. Go Mustangs!
From October 27-November 9, 16 German exchange students and their teachers from the Ludwigsgymnasium school in Bavaria visited Northridge High School as part of our GAPP Exchange Program (German American Partnership Program). Guest students stayed with host families during the two-week period and shadowed their host brothers & sisters in their everyday life as American high schoolers. Kids also had the chance to do special things with their families on the weekends, as well as a day trip to Shipshewana. Thanks to all the host families and community sponsors, and here’s to the friendship among nations!

Second grade students at Middlebury Elementary School are enjoying their learning this week! We hope everyone has a great Friday!!
There's some serious thinking (and building!) happening in 4th grade! 🤔 Our Heritage Intermediate students are busy using unifix cubes to explore new math concepts.
We love using hands-on activities because they bring learning to life! They help students visualize problems, collaborate, and build a solid foundation for future skills. Way to go, 4th graders!
A recent reading lesson at Heritage Intermediate was a trip through history! Our students are doing an amazing job learning about the past and strengthening their reading skills all at once. So proud! 📖🌍
Welcome back to our wonderful students and staff! We are excited to see everyone this week and hope everyone had a restful fall break!
Enjoy your fall break!!
Our fantastic third graders at Middlebury Elementary are not only mastering writing concepts, but they are also becoming weather safety experts! 🌤️✏️. Today, they honed their skills while writing about important weather phenomenon and how to stay safe. So impressed with their creativity and newfound knowledge!
What's the best part of the day? Easy. Seeing all the smiling faces in our schools! It's the sound of happy learning, kids connecting, and a thriving community. Love to see it! 😊
It’s National School Bus Safety Week! MCS Bus Drivers take great pride in delivering our students safely, but they can’t do it alone. Motorists must prepare to stop when the school bus yellow lights are flashing, and stop for the red lights and stop arm. Safety at the bus stop is just as important as safety on the bus. Remember: If you see a school bus, it means children could be nearby. Thank you for using caution!
In honor of National School Lunch Week we wanted to take a moment to showcase the nutritious and delicious lunches that the School Nutrition Staff make every day. Did you know that students who participate in school meals consume more dairy milk, fruits, and vegetables than non-participants, and they consume fewer desserts, snacks, and non-milk beverages? Take a look at the infographic for more facts about the impact school lunch has on students who participate.
A huge round of applause for our Orchard View Elementary School team who presented at the school board meeting this past Tuesday, October 14th! 🍎
The presentation highlighted how specials teachers are intentionally integrating and reinforcing fundamental math and reading skills within their subject areas, demonstrating a cohesive approach to student learning.
A special thank you to the talented students who beautifully played their instruments for the board members – you were fantastic! 🎶
We are so grateful for the dedication of our staff. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Gillette, and Mrs. Rusk, for your creative and passionate approach to enhancing student learning every single day!

Keegan from York Elementary School was honored during the Middlebury Moment at the school board meeting on Tuesday. Here is what Dr. Snyder had to say about him and why he was honored:
Keegan’s story is one of growth, determination, and joy. Not long ago, school days were hard for him. He often struggled with big emotions and challenges with behavior, but Keegan never gave up. Over the years, he has worked hard to learn how to regulate his emotions, and the progress he has made is truly remarkable. Now, as a 3rd grader, Keegan is thriving. He is succeeding academically and even passed the IREAD assessment last spring- a year early, as a 2nd grader. He shows independence and maintains a wonderful sense of humor. Keegan loves to joke around and has a way of making both kids and adults laugh, brightening every room he walks into.
York Principal Joe Kominowski said “Keegan’s journey shows what is possible when perseverance meets hard work. He has overcome so much, and today he stands as a strong, confident, and joyful student. It is an honor to celebrate Keegan for the incredible strides and the growth he has made.”
To all the educators at York Elementary who have supported his growth- thank you!
And to Keegan- we are so proud of you, keep up the great work!

In Middlebury Community Schools, we believe in meeting every student where they are! Our classrooms utilize a dynamic mix of large group instruction and targeted small group learning to ensure personalized support and challenge for all our amazing students. ✨
It's not every day you get to meet a new friend with scales or fur in the classroom! Our 6th grade science classes had an amazing, hands-on learning experience last week with Silly Safari, getting to know some incredible animals. What a memorable way to learn about wildlife and conservation! Ask your 6th grader what their favorite animal was!
Talk about a hole-in-one for hands-on learning! ⛳️🤖
Mr. Gagich's Engineering class has been hard at work applying the engineering design process to a fun and challenging project: creating their very own putt-putt golf course!
Each hole was designed and built by students, incorporating impressive elements of robotics, remote-controlled obstacles, and scientific principles to create a truly interactive experience. From concept to creation, they brought their innovative ideas to life.
To top it all off, NMS classes were invited to test their skills and play a round of golf on the finished course. It was an amazing opportunity for our engineering students to showcase their work and for the other classes to see STEM in action!
A huge congratulations to Mr. Gagich and his talented students for their creativity, problem-solving, and incredible work!
