Thank you for making Plain Local Schools your first choice in Education!  I am proud to be the principal of Middlebranch Elementary, which serves over 500 K-4th grade students in Plain Local.

As we enter spring here it has been an amazing year with all the hard work of our staff and students. We appreciate the tremendous support from our families at home. It has allowed our students to remain in school all year learning at a high level.  We are currently registering for 2021-22 kindergarten. We have had the opportunity to meet and give tours to those incoming Middlebranch families. If you live in our area and have a student in grade K-4 who do not attend Middlebranch, I encourage you to reach out so we can meet and provide a tour.  Once here you will see the opportunities we offer far exceed those of other schools in our area!

I want to remind families that the students and staff are following the necessary precautions given by the Stark County Health Department.  Those guidelines include socially distancing our students in the classroom and requiring masks to be worn by all staff and students.  We have limited visitors this year, but look forward to bringing back our wonderful volunteers once we have overcome COVID-19.  Please be sure to reach out to me with any questions you might have at easterlingj@plainlocal.org and I will get back to you quickly.

If you are a new family in Plain Local please reach out to us at Middlebranch and we will help you get registered. You can call the office at (330) 491-3750.
