With the announcement of no school during Thanksgiving week, we are needing to adjust the date that report cards will be sent home. Please know that report cards will be sent home electronically on Tuesday, November 30. Additionally, please know that SISS progress reports will be sent home hardcopy on Tuesday, November 30 as well.
If you have questions now, I'm happy to help.
Thank you,
Matt
The Ann Arbor Public Schools will be closed from Monday, November 22 through Friday, November 26. School will reopen on Monday, November 29. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I'm noticing more early parent pick-ups. Of course, if this is for an appointment or something similar it makes sense. Please let the teachers and office staff know in advance.
If you're doing this to beat the traffic or match your pick-up time to older siblings at Scarlett, please stop – it's not okay.
When we receive many late calls for early pick-ups it becomes unmanageable and interrupts our end of day procedures. I'm happy to work alongside you in this regard to ensure safe procedures for all kids at the end of the day.
If you have questions, please call Matt at school. I can be reached at 997-1216.

Student report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, November 23. This is an opportunity to talk with your child about their learning and celebrate growth. It's also an opportunity to set improvement goals. If you have questions, please talk with your child's teacher.
Testing is available from local health care providers, pharmacies, and urgent care. If you have a health care provider, contact them about testing or see the information below. Please check about costs before going to any testing site. At certain locations, some types of tests are free or covered by insurance, while others have an out-of-pocket cost.

Dear Parents,
As you drop off your children in the morning, please do not park in a way that blocks other cars in or limits entrance/exit to the front lot parking area. I've had some situations where someone needed to leave but couldn't because cars were illegally parked.
Lastly, if you're dropping off in the morning please stay in the drop off line – I need the parking spaces in the lot for staff who are coming into the building.
Thank you for your help!
Over the past trimester, I've had conversations with some families that expressed interest in exploring online instruction that is offered through the A2 Virtual Village. While we'd love to keep your child here at Mitchell, families have an opportunity to adjust their enrollment selection for the second trimester. As you consider your options, please note that enrollment in online programs is based on available space.
More information about the online programs is available on the A2 Virtual Village website. You are welcome to email any questions that you may have to a2velementary@a2schools.org.

On the other hand, families who'd like to return to in-person learning can do that as well! Please complete the Request to Return to Home School form by Wednesday, November 17, 2021. You can also take a few minutes to review the Elementary Program Transition FAQs.
All AAPS elementary students will be released at 1:18 PM on Wednesday, November 17. All teachers will participate in professional development in the afternoon.
