Mustang Messenger for Parents
January 7, 2024
Welcome back!
Happy New Year Mustang Parents! I hope you all have a wonderful winter break. We are already in full swing to start the second half of the school year. May will be here before we know it so please help your child be successful by having him/her to school on time, communicate with your child's teacher about any needs, and be sure school work is being complete on time. We are looking forward to all that is to come over the next five months!
Mustang Monday!
Tomorrow, January 8 is our next Mustang Monday! Students are encouraged to wear a Mitchell Road shirt with staff to show our school spirit.
Lunch this Week
Benchmark Testing for Grades 2 - 5
Our second through fifth grade students will have benchmark testing this week. Please be sure your child arrives to school on time so that he/she can participate in testing with the class.
Winter Reading Bingo!
Did you know our students were given a Winter Reading Bingo board before the break to encourage reading? Students who turn in a completed Bingo card by Tuesday will earn a special treat. Here is a link to the K - 2 Bingo card and the 3 - 5 Bingo card. Happy reading!
