Dear Middletown Public Schools Community,
As the year draws to a close and we begin our winter break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you do to make our schools a place of learning, growth, and community.
To our incredible employees: You transform ordinary moments into extraordinary opportunities for student growth. You're adaptive, innovative, and caring; your impact extends far beyond the school walls.
To our amazing students: You continue to amaze us with your creativity, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning. Each of you brings something unique and valuable to our school community.
To our families and community members: Your support and partnership around our students’ success creates a learning environment that extends from school to home and from home to school. Together, we're building a stronger educational foundation for each and every child.
As we head into our winter break, I encourage everyone to take this time to disconnect from daily routines, spend precious moments with loved ones, and return refreshed for the exciting opportunities that await us in 2025. May this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and cherished moments with those you hold dear.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Thursday, January 2, 2025, refreshed and ready to embrace new opportunities for growth and achievement. From our MPS family to yours, warmest wishes for a peaceful winter break and a bright start to 2025.
With sincere appreciation,
Dr. Alberto Vázquez Matos
Superintendent of Schools
Middletown Public Schools
