Understanding the Common Core
Please see attachment from Chancellor David Walcott.
The Common Core standards provide
a clear picture of what students
need to learn each year in order
to graduate from high school ready to
succeed in college and careers.
In the Common Core Library, you can find
resources to support you and your children as we
transition to the Common Core standards.

Programming & Class Equalization
Midwood High School is a term school. Students receive programs at the beginning of each term.
Programming any school, but especially one as large as Midwood High School, is a challenging task and typically results in the need for program changes. The need for changes can include errors, oversights, and most importantly the need to equalize class sizes according to union rules.
By union contract all schools have the first ten {10} days of school each term to finalize the equalization process.
Unfortunately this process often leads to students receiving program changes that they did not request.
While we recognize the initial disruption that this causes to students, it is necessary and part of the mandatory process. It is important that parents and students understand that these changes may occur randomly for any students during the first 10 days of the semester. We ask for your patience and understanding during this process.
Midwood High School's programming office cannot accommodate individual students personal programming needs i.e., before/after school responsibilities, employment.
Each term parents and students {at each grade level} must assume that their school can start as early as 1st period{7:15A.M.}and end as late as 10th period{3:20P.M.}.
