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.
Are you interested in becoming a bus driver? Mitchell County Schools will host bus driver training next week!
Thank you all for a great start to the school year! Just a reminder that schools wills be closed on Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day Holiday and Tuesday, September 3 for Staff Development. We look forward to seeing students again on Wednesday, September 4!

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.
