As we move into the end of the school year, I'm always excited to see the culminating success of the work students, teachers and parents have done. The next two months are when we see the greatest gains! Keep up the great work!

Enrollment for 2014-15
In the school office, we are in planning mode for 2014-15. This is why we have been asking about your plans for next school year. We know families have choices on where to send their kids to school. I want you to know Mitchell is an excellent choice for your child's education. Kids at Mitchell grow at a rate of at least one year for each year of school. This is significant and is not something a standardized test will measure . . . but it is something the other assessments we give at school do show. It is essential that Mitchell parents understand that the excellence of a school is not defined by the MEAP test (even though we are making good progress there too) . . . rather we have to look at the growth that occurs for children. We do that by looking at where a child started (in reading, for example) and where they ended in a given year.
If you have questions or concerns about your child's experience at Mitchell, Mr. Karr would like to know. Please call school (997-1216) or email (karrk@aaps.k12.mi.us).
