Mitchell Expansion Update - 3/25/16

Work is beginning on our building expansion project! As we return to school on Monday, March 28 you'll notice a fence around the construction site in the back of the building. This fence is designed to act as a safety barrier. Students will not be allowed near the site. Please know this:

 

-The path from the Scarlett parking lot into the building will NO longer be accessible. You must come to the front door.

-Construction traffic will occur in the back of the building. Therefore, parents must drop-off and pick-up in front – only.

-Safety is our first priority. Please be patient during drop-off & pick-up out front. NO PARKING in the front circle drive. Thank you.  

MSTEP Information

When we return from Spring Break, 5^th grade students will begin the MSTEP test. The MSTEP test replaces the old MEAP test and is required by the State of Michigan for all 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade students. If you have questions please contact Mr. Hilton or Mr. Karr at 997.1216. 

Mitchell School Book Give Away - Week of March 28th

All Mitchell School students will have the opportunity to choose a free book to add to their at home reading libraries. It is important that students continue to read during spring break. After your child reads his or her book some questions you might ask your child are, "What was the problem in the story?" "How was the problem solved?" and/or "What did you learn from the book?" This opportunity is made possible through our partnership with the Children's Literacy Network. 

Food Distribution - April 2

Free food is available for Mitchell families Saturday, April 2 from 9:30-11:00. All Mitchell families who need food are invited to come to Mitchell school for a free food giveaway. This free food distribution will happen the first Saturday of each month. A one-time registration process is required to verify household members. If you registered at the February event, you will not have to register again.

 

Note: To be clear, this is only available to Mitchell School families at this time.

Lost and Found

We have quite a larger number of items at the lost and found table – jackets, mittens, hats etc. Please stop by and check for any missing items. Any items remaining at Spring Break will be donated.
