Miamisburg is pleased to continue our partnership with Miami Valley Child Development Center (MVCDC) by offering Head Start classrooms again in the 2018-19 school year.   MVCDC will continue to offer both a morning session (8:00-11:30) and an afternoon session (1:00-4:30) with transportation to and from the school for eligible children. Because the program is federally funded, 90% of the families enrolled must meet the poverty guidelines for a family of four. However, some over-income children will be accepted based on need. Income eligibility information and referral forms are available here. 

Completed referral forms can be returned to Amy Dobson, Director - Elementary Education, at 540 E. Park Ave. Miamisburg, OH 45342 or via e-mail at adobson@miamisburg.k12.oh.us.

If you have questions or are interested in enrolling your child, please contact Caprice Adams at (937) 258-2470 ext.102 or by e-mail at cadams@mvcdc.org.

The 7th and 8th Grade Students at MMS participated in March Madness games on March 29th. The games included relay races, hula hoop contests, dizzy bat races, pie eating contests, volleyball against the female staff, and basketball against the male staff. 

Leading up to the week, a fundraiser was held for the American Cancer Society. Students purchased hair ribbons and had their hair sprayed pink to recognize cancer survivors. A raffle was held to cut a staff members hair at the assembly. A total of $884 was raised during the week. FCA members donated an additional $500 from their donut sales throughout the school year. A grand total of $1384 was donated to the American Cancer Society on this day. 

Additionally, 14 students, 5 teachers, and 1 parent donated 8 inches of their hair for the Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign. The hair donation was enough to create at least 4 real hair wigs valued at over $2000 each. MVCTC students contributed during the event by cutting the student ponytails.

The Miamisburg City School District March Student of the Month is Sofia Stocker. Sofia is a fourth grade student at Medlar View Elementary School and was nominated by her teachers Mrs. Aucoin, Mrs. McCombe, Mrs. Siefring, and Mr. Toadvine for best exemplifying 40 Asset #15 - Positive Peer Influence (Young person's best friends model responsible behavior). The Medlar View Fourth Grade Teachers wrote "Sofia Stocker can best be described as a quiet leader, and she is the perfect example of Developmental Asset 15 - Positive Peer Influence. She rarely seeks attention, but her caring attitude toward classmates combined with her willingness to learn and grow make Sofia a wonderful example to all.  She is a hard worker, but also modest and very kind and gentle toward everyone. Sofia is exceptional in so many ways, but also humble and caring. Sofia Stocker can best be described as a quiet leader, and she is the perfect example of Developmental Asset 15 - Positive Peer Influence.

Sofia is exceptional in so many ways, but also humble and caring.   

Sofia’s desire to work to her potential is much appreciated by her teachers, and is yet another way she is an example for her peers.  Sofia has been a very responsible and dependable student this year, and both her teachers and classmates know we can always count on her to give 100 percent effort to every task. She works very hard and pays attention to detail in her work. Sofia takes her school work seriously, and is consistent in completing class work and doing homework.  Her positive approach toward learning is evident in the fact that she has earned straight A’s in fourth grade so far this year. It would be difficult to find a better example of the Medlar View Star Responsibility “Work to the best of our Ability.” 

While Sofia serves as an example of an outstanding student who works very hard to create high-quality work, she is also a kind friend to others and respectful to her teachers and other adults. She works well with her classmates, is always willing to lend a hand, and is a joy to have around.  Although Sofia is a very quiet and capable student, those who know her will tell you that she is also a friend that you can always count on.  She is a fantastic example of the Medlar View Star Responsibility “Treat others with respect,” who has been recognized as a “Rising Star” and “Shining Star” many times over by adults throughout Medlar View.

Sofia’s kindness and leadership as a role model extends beyond the walls of Medlar View Elementary as well.  She was one of several fourth grade students who recently donated their time and effort to raise over $300 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Hospice of Dayton, and The Humane Society.  As if all of this wasn’t enough, Sofia has a great sense of humor, a ready smile, and an encouraging word for anyone who needs one.  She truly epitomizes the Medlar View Star Responsibility “Be Responsible role models,” and we all can learn something from the example she provides.  Way to go Sofia!"

Congratulations to all of our March Student of the Month representatives. All Building Student of the Month representatives can be viewed at right.

Miamisburg High School will operate on a modified two-hour late arrival schedule on April 23-April 26, 2018 in order to administer Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course-exams. Students who are required to take the Algebra I or Geometry end-of-course-exams should arrive at 7:15 am on their designated testing days. These dates will be communicated to students prior to their test date. For the days that they are not testing, or for any student who is not participating in testing, students will report to school at 9:15 am for the late arrival.

School transportation will operate as a normal school day since the high school is the only school operating on a late arrival schedule. Students will need to arrange for transportation to arrive at the high school for the 9:15 am start time. If a student cannot arrange transportation, he/she should ride the bus to arrive at MHS at the normal start time of 7:15 am. Students at MHS not participating in testing will be kept in a common area and supervised by MHS faculty and staff.

If you have any questions, please contact Miamisburg High School at 937-866-0771.
