CAN Art & Design

The Community Action Network of Ann Arbor (CAN) is providing a free art & design program to 4th grade students this fall. This program is for students who have an interest in creating, designing, and thinking outside the box. Space is limited to 20 students total and will fill up fast. Permission slips have been sent home - return yours as soon as possible to secure your spot. Families must provide transportation home! There will be multiple sessions throughout the year and kids who are waitlisted will be offered spots in future sessions. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Williams. 

Parking at Mitchell School

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. Do not double park and block others in. You can park in the Scarlett lot in the back, in the front Mitchell lot or in the neighborhood. Thank you for your help! 

Parents/Guardians Visiting School During the Day

I want to take a moment and reinforce our safety procedures for entering the building. We are safest when we work together, go slowly and look out for one another. Please know:

Entering the Building

·       As is our current practice, entry during school hours is limited. At the beginning of the school day and at the end of the school day, the main front entrance will be open for a short time. The doors will lock shortly after the entry bell and unlock shortly before the exit bell. 

·       When requesting entrance, parents and guests will stand in front of the camera and press the buzzer to signal their request. The main front door and the main rear door have a buzzer & camera system. These are the only two doors in which you can enter. Please press the buzzer and be prepared to share why you're visiting school. If the office staff does not immediately answer the buzzer, please be patient and they will be with you shortly. 

·       Guests and visitors should then go immediately to the office to sign in and wear a visitor's sticker. 

 

I want to make sure that our parent community feels welcome and encouraged to visit school. I also want to make sure we provide a safe and secure environment for children. To do that, I need your help with these procedures. If you have questions, I'd be happy to talk with you. 

Free & Reduced Lunch Application

Dear Families,

 

It is helpful if families fill out and return to the free & reduced lunch application now. If approved, the form helps students get food at school and it helps bring other money to the school to help us teach. 

 

You can find the application HERE. The form is in many languages at the bottom of the page. Or, you can fill the form out online. 

 

Thank you for your help!

We have now scheduled the event for:

I'm sorry for this change and I wanted you to have this information as soon as possible. If you have questions, please call me at school.

Thank you,
