The Middletown School Committee approved an amended masking policy as a result of the expiration of Governor McKee’s Executive Order on mandatory mask wearing in schools. Masks will be recommended, not required.
Middletown Public Schools will move to a mask optional policy for all students, faculty and staff starting on Monday, March 7, 2022. This covers all school buildings AND school busses.
Students and staff may still wear face masks whenever and wherever they choose. We also acknowledge that some students or staff may not have a choice to remove a mask at this time because of personal or family circumstances. All are encouraged to seek counsel from their doctor or child’s pediatrician when making the best personal or family decision. In preparation for this change in policy, we ask for parents to please educate your child(ren) on if or when they should wear a mask as teachers will not be able to monitor individual decisions.

Middletown Public Schools will have a ONE HOUR delay today Monday, Feb 14.

Gov. McKee announced plans to lift the statewide school mask mandate on 3/4/22, allowing decisions about masking to be made by local school districts at that time. As a result, MPS will be revisiting their masking policy at the next school committee meeting 2/17 at 4:30PM.


Due to the forecast for dangerous driving conditions, Middletown Public Schools will have a DISTAMCE LEARNING day tomorrow., Friday, FEB. 4, 2022. Teachers will provide instruction. Students will be expected to log on at scheduled times. Schools will share schedules.

JAN 31, 2022
Middletown High School has a backed up pipe that is causing water issues. Grades 9-12 will be dismissing early today at 12:40pm.

Middletown Public Schools WILL OPEN ON A NORMAL SCHEDULE with no delay Monday, Jan. 31. We would like to thank the MPS facilities staff and the town public works crews for their outstanding efforts to make this opening possible in the wake of Winter Storm Kenan.
