Character Alliance Reaches Everyone
Each month as noted in our district calendar, a new word of good character is emphasized. The various projects, lessons, and activities may be different from building to building but everywhere in Middle Country School District, staff, faculty, students and parents are all doing their part in helping to develop and instill good character traits in us all. We hope that this web page provides you with the information you need to help reinforce our teachings at home. If you’d like to get more involved in our district-wide character education programs, ask your child’s principal who the CARE “building task force” contact is; we welcome your efforts and suggestions!
