This is available to all Mitchell and Scarlett families on the first Saturday of each month. Thank you to Community Action Network and Food Gatherers for their partnership in bringing this service to our community.
The fun run is coming up on Friday, October 6! This is a PTO sponsored event that promotes wellness and exercise while raising funds for our school. The PTO is still looking for parent volunteers to help with the fun run! You can find contact information HERE.

There are some parking spots available in front of Mitchell School. Additional parking is available in the Scarlett parking lot behind Mitchell School. Please DO NOT park in the front circle drive - ever. Parked cars create a traffic flow problem that can cause unsafe situations.
If you need to enter the building, please park in a parking space in one of our lots. Cars will line up on Lorraine as an entrance line into Mitchell and should not be parked on Lorraine. If you'd like to park, you can park in the Scarlett lot in the back or in the front Mitchell lot. Please know that I'm working to get a second call box on the back door so we can buzz parents in securely through the back door, as well as the front door. Thank you for your help!
The Mighty Mustangs Math program is an after school math intervention program focused on developing mathematical skills in students. This program runs in the fall for students in 3rd through 5th grade. Parents of students who demonstrate and need and could benefit from this intervention will be contacted.
We are noticing many students who are arriving late to school. As a reminder, the bell rings at 8:56. Please make sure children are dropped off for school on time. Late student arrivals cause disruptions to classrooms when kids and teachers have already begun their day of learning. Please do your very best to have your children to school on time.
Thank you for help,
Matt

We have a wonderfully supportive community and we are a stronger school because of it. One of our goals at Mitchell School is for all children to grow as readers. It's important that children are reading at home every night. The more children read, the better readers they become. Thank you parents and teachers for all you do to make Mitchell the best school it can be. We are going to have a wonderful school year together!!
If you drive your child to school or pick them up at the end of the day, please follow the posted signs around the school.

· NO PARKING in the front drive. Stay in your car.
