News and Information

NWEA

In the fall of this school year, students in Ann Arbor took a test call the Northwest Educational Assessment (NWEA).  They will take the test again in January and once more at the end of the school year.  The results of the test are used by teachers to understand the growth a student has made as well as areas the student needs additional practice.

In case you didn’t know, NWEA also has a “Parent Toolkit” that explains the assessment as well as provides websites for children to use for additional practice.  The toolkit can be found at the following link: http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/ins.technology/nwea

If you would like a printed copy of the toolkit, please call the school office and we’ll send a copy home.

Happy New Year!

We are all back to Mitchell and are ready for 2012.  We appreciate the support of our families as we continue to work on making Mitchell School the best it can be. 

Please call, email or stop by if you have questions.

¡Que tengan unas vacaciones grandiosas!

De parte de los empleados de la Escuela Mitchell, el Sr. Karr quiere desearles unas felices y relajantes vacaciones de inverno a todas las familias de Mitchell, maestros y compañeros de la Universidad de Michigan. Hemos disfrutado mucho trabajar con los estudiantes de Mitchell este otoño y vislumbramos mucho éxito en el 2012.

Agradecimiento de parte del PTO de Mitchell

Gracias a todos los que participaron en la recaudación de fondos en Leo’s Coney Island. ¡Recaudamos $350 dólares! Manténganse atentos a nuestra próxima actividad en febrero.

¡Otro inmenso agradecimiento a todos los que enviaron las etiquetas y “box tops”! Fue una competencia muy cerrada, pero la clase del Sr. Hamilton recaudo la mayoría de las etiquetas. Recolectamos 5400 “box tops”, para un total de $540. ¡Sigan enviándolos! Como pueden ver, cada cooperación ayuda a nuestra escuela. ¡FELICITACIONES A TODOS!

¡Esperamos que pasen unas vacaciones felices y seguras!
