Tomorrow will be our first day for all 3rd-8th graders! Please remember the drop-off window is 7:15-7:55 and pick-up is 2:45-3:05. We have seen this week that those who arrive later in the window are not waiting in line and driving through quickly! Thank you for your patience as we work to make drop-off and pick-up as safe and efficient as possible.

We are so excited to partner with one of our own Mitchell Miners to bring you the best Miners merch!! Come get your own swag provided by third grade teacher and local small-business owner, Justin Hollifield (Hi-Fi Soap)!! Proceeds from each sale benefit the school.

Mitchell Elementary School and Mitchell Middle School will host a Community Open House on Friday, August 16 from 5:00-7:00. Tours will be given every 30 minutes.

Mitchell County Schools would like to thank @The Quartz Corp for their work to move our staff into Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle School today. Quartz sent over 100 employees to load all classroom materials from Deyton, Bowman, and Harris, drive them in U Hauls and tractor trailers to the new school, and unload them into the classrooms. Quartz also provided lunch and shirts for staff. This was a day that truly was an example of "community" and a corporation giving back to their community. What a great day it was for Mitchell County Schools and Quartz Corp! Thank you so much!

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
