GREAT START!
I want to thank student, parents, and teachers for a great start to our school year. We all know Mitchell is the best school anywhere. The reason for this is simple: Mitchell kids, Mitchell parents, and Mitchell teachers.
And in case you didn't know . . . I am proud to work and help at Mitchell School.
Sincerely,
Mr. Karr
MEAP Testing
We've just finished the first week of MEAP testing. The kids did a great job, and their learning over the past few years will certainly show in the results we get sometime in early 2014.
Please take a moment to share with your child that Mr. Karr was happy with how hard students worked on their MEAP tests this year.
