Leave a CommentBryan ISD is now accepting referrals for students who may qualify for Gifted & Talented Services. The GT program is designed for students who are performing well above grade level or demonstrating exceptional academic strengths or talents. Anyone wishing to refer a student or their child in Bryan ISD can pick up a referral form in any BISD campus office or click on the link here, fill it out and return it to Becky Skelton at Mitchell Elementary. The referral form must be returned to the campus no later than Friday, September 18, 2020.
The Mitchell Elementary staff has implemented Give ’em Five as a strategy to empower students to help solve their own problems. Teachers are trained to assist students in reflecting on the shared campus-wide expectations, examine the breakdown of those expectations, and determine the benefits to students if they adhere to the expectations. The tone of the conversation is respectful and encourages the student to take responsibility for solving his or her own problem.
“We want students to grow in maturity and responsibility, not just to comply based on external force. Using the roadmap to responsibility means giving children the time and tools necessary to increase their critical thinking skills, to improve their confidence, and to enhance their ability to solve their own problems.”
“Students appreciate the consistency, sense of fairness, and mutual respect that a responsibility centered culture brings to schools and classrooms. Educators appreciate its simplicity, reduced stress, and peace of mind that comes with having a plan they can use in each and every situation.”
Larry Thompson

If you do not wish to change your child’s instructional model for the second six weeks of school, you do not need to do anything.
If you would like to change your child’s instructional model for the 2nd Six Weeks of school, you must click here and fill out this form before Monday, September 14.
You must complete a form for each child you would like to change for the 2nd Six Weeks.
The 2nd Six Weeks of school will begin on Monday, September 28.
Please note, beginning the 2nd Six Weeks of school, children in grades prekindergarten through 2nd will be required to wear face masks. Children in grades 3-12 are already required to wear face masks.

2 CommentsOur students have shown great resiliency in adapting to our safety measures at Mitchell Elementary. They are regularly sanitizing or washing their hands, maintaining social distancing in class and in the hallway, and using their own supplies throughout the day. Our 3rd and 4th graders, along with all staff, have been wearing masks as well.
Beginning the 2nd Six Weeks, all students in Bryan ISD will be required to wear masks. Although we have many younger students currently wearing masks, this protocol will be new for some of our Pre-K through 2nd grade students. Students may wear a personal mask or the neck gaiter provided by Bulldog PAC. We will continue to implement masks breaks several times during the day.
Please begin working with your younger children as we approach the 2nd Six Weeks. Discuss the proper way to wear a mask and practice having your child wear it for extended periods of time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the principal at shari.hedstrom@bryanisd.org.
