Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if my student forgot something?
Midland believes that we are preparing our students to be future ready. Our no rescue policy allows our students to experience natural consequences in a loving and nurturing environment. Please support your child in remembering all belongings (water bottle, backpacks, instruments) for school.
How do I inform the school when my student is absent?
When your child is absent, please call
the attendance hotline (858) 748-0047 ext 2112
What if my student is tardy?
Students arriving late to school must come to the main office accompanied by a parent/guardian with a note stating the reason for their tardy. Parents may excuse up to three tardies for personal reasons per semester.
Please remember – Tardy students walking into class impacts the learning environment for everyone. Please be on time.
What are OCIS Contracts?
