This year has been filled with many surprises and challenges, but our Mitchell Bulldogs have weathered every storm and adjusted to every change with great success. I’m so proud of our students and staff…and thankful for our families for standing alongside us throughout this year.
ATTENDANCE: During the remainder of the school year, your child is cementing new learning they’ve been acquiring all year. As a result, it is so very important for students to be in school each day. Please make sure your child is here from 7:35-3:10 every day to ensure they have the opportunity to grow to their fullest potential.
AT HOME LEARNING: If your child is still learning online, please make sure that they are connecting with the teacher and completing all assignments for each class. While learning online is still an option, we encourage students to return to campus for the fullest educational experience. Contact Heaven Wells at 209-1400 if you are interested in sending your child back to campus. It’s never too late!
STAAR: Our 3rd and 4th grade students are gearing up for state testing this spring. All students will take the STAAR test on a computer rather than the traditional paper and pencil test, and we are working to prepare them for that experience. Feel free to send headphones for your child to use, although we will have ear buds available for all students. One benefit of online testing is that we will receive their scores much quicker. Please mark your calendar:
- STAAR Writing (4th grade) ~ Tuesday, April 6
- STAAR Math (3rd & 4th grades) ~ Tuesday, May 11
- STAAR Reading (3rd & 4th grades) ~ Wednesday, May 12
FENWAY AND HATTIE: I hope you are enjoying reading this book with your child! Each night, parents and children read 1-2 chapters, and during morning announcements, we challenge kids with trivia questions about the chapters read the night before. If you haven’t started, it’s not too late to join the reading craze!
