Summer Learning Infomation

Your child brought home new books and a ThinkStretch workbook to work on over the summer!  Isn't that great!

We do this for Mitchell kids because we know that kids who read and give time to learning in the summer are more successful. 

Please enjoy and use these resources with your child to keep learning going during the summer

Immunizations Guidelines for the 2016-2017 School Year

State law requires that all students enrolling in preschool, Kindergarten, 7 th grade, and all new students provide proof of immunization status or a waiver by the start of school.

Parents/guardians can provide this proof by dropping off or mailing copies of immunization records to the school office before the first day of school.

Local Resources for Immunizations
- Your family's pediatrician (or see pediatric listings in phone book/internet)
- Free or low-cost immunizations and sports physicals are available all summer through the UM Regional Alliance for Healthy Schools (RAHS). RAHS clinics located at Pathways to Success Academic Campus and Scarlett Middle School are open to all AAPS students, no matter which school they attend. Call (734) 677-2708 to schedule an appointment
- Washtenaw County Public Health offers immunizations by appointment, including evening appointments. Call (734) 544-6700 to schedule an appointment.
- Contact your school nurse for other resources and with questions.

Ann Arbor Public Schools encourages parents/guardians to fully immunize their children to maintain a healthy school environment for all students and staff. By state law, parents or guardians seeking to opt their children out of one or more required vaccinations must participate in a science-based educational session with their local public health department. In Washtenaw County, waiver appointments can be scheduled by calling Washtenaw County Public Health at  (734) 544-6700. Appointments take approximately 30 minutes.

Please note that schools are no longer authorized to provide non-medical vaccination waivers to provide non-medical vaccination waivers to parents
