First Day 2025

  • Posted August 26, 2025

aaaaand we're back!

Monday was the first day of the 2025-2026 school year for our 1st-8th graders. Middleton and McCracken hallways and classrooms went from quiet anticipation to laughter and smiles as staff greeted students and students connected with each other after a long summer break. Buses rolled in, students found their lockers, and families waved their little ones off for the first day of school.
