Thank You!
We just wanted to say thank you to all the parents and students who attended Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. It was nice to meet so many of you and have a chance to discuss your child's progress. We hope that you found these conferences helpful as well.
If you were unable to attend but have questions about your child's grades please do not hesitate to email or call their teachers.

Future of Education in Idaho/Middleton
What is the future of education in Middleton?
Parents, as you may have heard there is a roaring debate taking place at the Statehouse right now about the future of education in Idaho. State Superintendent Tom Luna has put forth a plan that includes many changes that would affect your child. We encourage you to become familiar with the proposed plan and how it might affect our schools here in Middleton. We also encourage you to contact your state representatives with your thoughts and feelings regarding the proposed changes. Whether you agree or disagree it is important that you take the time to speak about what you want for your child's future education.

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher conferences are next week and will be open to ALL parents. These conferences will be held in the multi-purpose room. Parents are invited to come between the hours of 4-7 to spend a few minutes with teachers. Conference dates are January 19th and 20th. We look forward to seeing you and talking about your child's progress.
Mrs, Alsager tentatively has been scheduled for Jury Duty during this week, so if she is not at conferences, and you need to meet with her, please email her at salsager@msd134.org to set-up a time!

School Supplies
The students are OUT of school supplies. Please check with your child and see what needs to be replenished so that they can be successful. The majority are out of pencils, paper and they need their spiral notebooks. We also are on a very tight budget this year and have not had classroom supply money this year. Our supplies are also dwindling rapidly. I personally started with 30 hand held pencil sharpeners for the students to use, and now only have 2 left in my container. I had 50 fine-tip flairs, now am down to 4. The students really do need to have supplies in hand each and everyday. They should have:
Binder - preferably one that zips or has velcro
Spiral Notebooks
Paper
Pencils
Red Pens
Blue/Black Pens
Scissors
Glue
Erasers
Ruler
Personal Pencil Sharpener
Colored Pencils
Markers
Pencil Bag
Calculator
Expo Markers
The students also need a fine tip flair pen. These can be found at any store, including the dollar store. They are made by Paper Mate, Sharpie, and others. They simply are a pen with a very fine tip that the students use to outline their writing. We no longer have any for the students to borrow, yet these are essential to their projects. These pens come in many colors, we would prefer black for their written work.
If you are out shopping and happen to come across a great deal, we are in dire need of Kleenex and Clorox wipes.
Thank you for helping your child be successful!
