Just a reminder that next Friday is an Early Release Day!
Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Homecoming 2024 GPS Spirit Week will be Monday, 9/23, through Friday, 9/27. Please remember that all school rules apply.
We will be trying a new photography company this year as well as finishing out our time with LifeTouch. Our first set of fall pictures will be this Monday, September 16th with TPS Photography. Then on October 7th will have fall pictures with LifeTouch. No pre-payment is required for this Monday.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for 2024-25 school year!!
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.
