We encourage families to complete their
School Meals Application
online over the summer so that they will not need to submit a
paper form in September.
The online School Meals Application will open
for next year applicants beginning
July 1st and families should submit
the application before the start of next school year.
Parents please be aware that new students may default
to full priced meal status in September unless
they qualify over the summer.

Brooklyn College Research Day is the
annual, campus-wide science fair held
at the end of the spring semester.
Posters are presented by Brooklyn College
undergraduate and graduate students
and also by students from
partner high schools in the borough.
More than 100 posters were exhibited
in the Brooklyn College Research
Day Student Center on Friday, May 9, 2014.
Every award in the High School Division at
Brooklyn College Research Day was
won by a Midwood Science student in 2014 -
an unprecedented accomplishment.
The warm weather is upon us and it seems like a good time to issue
a few reminders about appropriate dress for school.

that we have accurate biographical and emergency contact

Midwood has been designated a Gold Star school for 2013 by the W!SE organization based upon the performance of our economics students on the W!SE Financial Literacy test. This is the 6th consecutive year Midwood has earned this honor. We also have five social studies teachers designated as Gold Star Teachers as the notice indicates below. They are Bret Cohen, Chris Miccio, Doug O'Connor, Laura Gavenda and Madison Williams. They have continually done a great job with our economics students.
