Mitchell/Scarlett - UM Partnership Update

The partnership is on, and planning is underway! Below is a synopsis of partnership plans for the fall of 2011 at Mitchell:

1. Mighty Mustangs - The after school Mighty Mustangs math program will continue next year. Preliminary plans are that program will run as a support for students who need additional math support to achieve grade level outcomes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the end of school until 5:45 p.m. We look forward to working with the University of Michigan School of Education faculty and students in October and November and following that the program will continue with Mitchell teachers.
2. Responsive Classroom - This will be a new initiative to Mitchell School and will focus on behaviors needed to best learn at school. We'll look forward to sharing more about this as the school year begins.
3. Michigan Interns - Mitchell School will welcome seven interns to the school this fall who will be a part of the staff for the entire school year. This number of interns at Mitchell is unprecedented! Their presence and expertise will be a welcome addition to teaching and learning for 2011-12.
4. Partnership Kick-Off - We hope to host the Mitchell and Scarlett communities in late summer for a partnership kick-off celebration. 
5. "Managing To Teach" and "Literacy Methods" - UM classes being taught at Mitchell School and supported by UM faculty and Mitchell staff.
6. Several other developing activities - There are four other activities that are in the planning stages which all will have positive effects for Mitchell teachers, students and/or families. As these activities become more defined, I will certainly share.

Mitchell School - A "Nut Restricted" Building

Nut restricited means: 
- Students may bring nut products to school
- However, "NO-NUT" facilities have been set up to accommodate students who have severe food allergies.  
- In addition, the school lunch menu items do not contain nuts or nut products.  
- Classrooms of students with nut allergies are "NO-NUT" rooms and are posted with signs.
