Today is National Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Let's take a moment to appreciate the important work that our MCS bus drivers do. Like this post or drop a comment below to show some love to our drivers!
Board member Donald Anderson was able to visit Heritage Intermediate School last week. We are very appreciative of our board members, the time they give, and that they always put kids first in their decisions. Thank you, Mr. Anderson for taking time to learn more about HIS!
We want to give a staff shout-out to Carlie Davis. Carlie is our payroll and benefits coordinator. She is the one who makes sure everyone gets paid! Carlie answers many questions during her work day and always does so in a friendly manner. She is an advocate for all staff and a huge asset to Middlebury Community Schools. Thank you for all that you do, Carlie!
Middlebury School Board Members Honored by Indiana School Boards Association
The Middlebury Community Schools Board of Trustees has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award for the year 2023 for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to professional learning and student success.
Board awards are based on points earned by each member for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the board’s completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to elevate student achievement outcomes. Honorees were formally recognized during ISBA’s Spring Regional Meeting on April 17th in Plymouth.
“On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards and school board members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to perform their duties effectively and meet the needs of their students.”
Board members from left to right are: Mike Varner, Caleb Mast, Kate Hummel, Gregg Eash, Don Anderson.
Orchard View Elementary students are seen getting ready to head home at the end of a busy day!
Middlebury and York Elementary students are excited to be learning! We love the smiles!
Orchard View Elementary teachers met Monday afternoon for professional development on the use of coding with the Hex 123 robots. We can't wait to see our students using this in their learning!
Great turnout at the Raider Band Boosters Pancake Breakfast today! Pictured are many of the volunteers who made this event happen!
We are incredibly blessed to have amazing community/parent support in all seven of our schools!
We have a special birthday to celebrate today. Happy 4th birthday to Raider! Raider is loved by all and is a highlight to students and staff when visiting buildings. Happy birthday!
Just a reminder that Kindergarten Round-Up dates can be found here! We look forward to seeing all of our incoming kindergarten students at Round-Up!!
Welcome back students and staff!
Our schools are on spring break this week, but we do want to take time to recognize and celebrate some national days of appreciation and the people behind the titles being recognized. We want to give shout-outs to our assistant principals, our paraprofessionals, and our librarians. Each of these people are focused on doing what is best for our students and the schools would not work without them all!
Happy Easter to everyone!
We want to remind everyone that there is no school March 29th - April 8th! We wish everyone a relaxing and fun spring break, no matter what you do!!

Kindergarten students at Middlebury Elementary visited their S.T.E.A.M. lab last week. The students represented the 3 Little Pigs and worked in pairs to design their house and created a labeled blueprint and materials list. The teacher then tested the house with a hairdryer to see if it would withstand the "wind". Awesome work kindergarteners!!
Good luck to these Raiders who qualified to run in the Distance Medley Relay at the Indiana Indoor Track State Finals this weekend!
Our elementary schools provide an excellent education for children. One of the things that they work on outside the traditional classroom is leadership, working as a team, and confidence. These Orchard View Elementary students are working on all of those skills as they help Mr. Martin with the morning announcements. These students did an awesome job!
These Northridge Middle School students are using their robot building and coding skills learned during the quarter to work as a group and design a "Robot Dragster" to race against other groups in the class. This robot needed to travel 20 feet, have a switch start, and use a mechanism to increase the speed. What an exciting lesson in Mr. Magnuson's class!
Kindergarten Round-Up dates can be found here! We look forward to seeing all of our incoming kindergarten students at Round-Up!!
