Summer Book Give-Away

Our summer book giveaway is fast approaching.  During the last week of school your child will have the opportunity to select new books to add to their home library.  Please check your child's backpack and set time aside daily to enjoy the books at home over the summer. The at home reading practice this summer is really important to prevent students from regressing over the summer months. 

Lost and Found

The lost and found is piling up again with spring weather gear. Please plan to stop by the lost and found and claim any items that you own. All items not claimed by Friday, June 14 will be donated to charity. Thank you!

Returning Mitchell Students - Registration for 2019-20!

AAPS is preparing for the 2019-20 school year and is sending out information on PowerSchool Enrollment (formerly called InfoSnap). 

 

You should have received a communication via email from backtoschool@a2schools.org with instructions on how to access the system for your student. The email will contain a link and instructions and a secure "snapcode" that links directly to your student's information. If you have already set up an InfoSnap account in a prior year, you will be able to reuse that account and the snapcode to begin this year's forms. As a reminder, all students entering young fives, kindergarten, seventh grade, or new to the district will also need to present up-to-date immunization records to their school prior to the first day of school.

 

Please check your inbox or SPAM folder for a message from backtoschool@a2schools.org.

Mitchell School Field Day

We will be holding our annual field day on Friday, May 24. This is a time when we all participate in fun activities as a school. Given our growth over the past few years, we've had to think a little bit differently about how field day will run. This year, the schedule looks like this:

·       9:30-10:30 Young 5's, Kindergarten and First Grade

·       10:35-11:35 Second and Third Grade

·       1:45-2:45 Fourth and Fifth Grade

 

The kids always look forward to this event! Obviously, this event is dependent on the weather. If it looks like rain, classroom teachers will plan indoor activities.

Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off Reminders

A friendly reminder…Please, no parking in the circle drive.  

·       MITCHELL PARKING LOT: At the end of the day, please do not block the entrance/exit of the parking lot or park illegally. If no spots are available, you can park in the Scarlett lot or wait in the pick-up line. We will do our very best to move quickly at the end of the day but will not sacrifice student safety. 

·       SCARLETT PARKING LOT: You may park in the Scarlett lot if the Mitchell lot is full. The rear door off the Scarlett parking lot now has a camera and buzzer system to enter. DO NOT PARK NEAR THE CURB – THIS AREA IS FOR BUSSES ONLY! Park in a parking space! 

·       PICK UP LINE – ENTERING MITCHELL: As you arrive for pick up at the end of the day, please make certain that you are not blocking access to the driveways of housesthat surround Mitchell. Thank you for your attention and help with this important process.
