Hello Parents!

Midfield City Schools received a grant from Peer Helpers, a Thriveway Program, to provide age-appropriate prevention and awareness lessons to your students in the following areas: Bullying, Abuse, Substance Use, and Mental Health.  At Rutledge Middle School, we take your student's safety and mental health seriously.  Our teachers facilitate monthly lessons, coordinated by the school counselor, during our REACH Advisory period.  I am providing you and your student with additional resources to support you during these times.  Please click the grade level for your student(s).
