Year End

It always sneaks up on us!  The end of the school year is fast approaching:  Last day of service for the 21st Century Lounge (after-school program) will be Thursday, May 9.  This is also the last day to turn in completed PLATO courses for credit to be awarded.  PLATO COURSES MAY NOT BE CONTINUED NEXT YEAR.  All courses will be erased after school is out.  Also, last day to sign up for a Plato class will be May 3.  It has truly been a great year!  So far, more than 29 credits have been recovered through the students' efforts with Plato classes!  We have some really smart students here at Middleton who have taken advantage of a convenient, flexible option to make up for lost credits.  As we finish out the last year of the grant for the 21CCLC at the high school site this year, I think a lot of students have had meaningful experiences over the past five years.  The high school "after-school program" won't exist in the same format going forward, but it's been a fantastic place for learning, working, playing, lounging, socializing and just being a high-schooler.  Some students will be working feverishly (procrastinators!) for the next 11 days to finish their Plato classes or catch up or keep up or whatever.  To them I say, "Good luck!  I hope you achieve success!"
