A message received from PDE acknowledging that schools may return to local decision making in regards to masking based on the PA Supreme Court Ruling, confirmed that there will be no challenges or additional legal maneuvers at the state level as far as instituting mask mandates in schools. To all families and staff, MWSD will return to the status of voluntary masking that is found in our Health and Safety Plans effective immediately. Thank you for your support and patience over the last three months!   Let me know if you have any additional questions!

On November 11, 2021, the Midd-West School District held our annual Veterans Day Parade. The campus was filled with patriotism and enthusiasm as the students lined the sidewalks and roadways. Students arrived wearing creative outfits of red, white, and blue while others were carrying posters and flags honoring our Veterans. Music filled the air from the Midd-West Vocal and Band Department along with chants of “Thank You Veterans” from the elementary students. The parade was a terrific example of the Mustangs pulling our community together to honor and thank the local veterans.
