Mitchell County Schools

We are excited about the upcoming school year and the changes and opportunities that it will bring for our students. As usual, kindergarten will have a staggered entry based on last name to help them become acclimated to school. Also, we will have a staggered entry based on grade level for Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle this year. We hope this will be better for students to become familiar with the building and parents to become familiar with drop-off/pick-up procedures. Mitchell High School and Mayland Early College will have a regular schedule for all students beginning the first day of school. The document below outlines the schedule for the first week for each school. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CzDySFquyMGgmLCd_Q1mIu4HquVYViExFVqrQLLZVvE/edit?usp=sharing

We believe the issue with the Apple App Store and our MCS app has been resolved. You can now search for and download the MCS app again. If you don't have it, we encourage you to download it. It's FREE and it provides beneficial information from all our schools.

It has come to our attention that our MCS app on the app store is no longer available for download. We are contacting the company and resolving the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience while we figure it out!
