Parking at Mitchell – Rear Lot/Scarlett Lot

We've noticed many families parking illegally in the rear lot/Scarlett parking lot. 

 

Please make sure that you:

·      Park within the marked, designated spots only.

Please make sure that you do not:

·      Park at the end of the row and block the exit lane near the buses. This lane needs to be clear for exiting buses and exiting cars.

 

Thank you for your help in keeping the exit lane free of parked cars and keeping our kids safe at dismissal. You'll notice new no parking signs in the rear lot soon. If you have questions now, please call the school and ask for Matt – I'm happy to help.

Mid-Winter Break

According to the AAPS school calendar – There may or may not be school on February 15^th.  If there is a May 7^thelection, then we will have school on February 15^th. But if there is not a May 7^th Election, then we will not have school on February 15^th. Due to the election laws, the district is unable to confirm a May election until the filing deadline of Feb. 12^th. After which point the AAPS district will immediately notify families about the status of that school day.  We ask that families prepare for either eventuality.  Feb. 18^th is a definite NO SCHOOL Day.
