Getting to School (if students live South of 52)
We are very concerned! We are very concerned about the serious and increasing danger of students crossing the #52 highway on foot or on their bicycles. Several near misses have been reported where unsupervised students came dangerously close to being hit by motorists as they were crossing the highway. The MMS school handbook indicates that students who live South of 52 should be taking the school bus to school.
Parents, if you live south of the #52 highway, we at Mitchell Elementary School and Mitchell Middle School urge you to take advantage of Hanover School Division buses and not to allow your children to walk or ride their bikes to and from school without adult supervision.
The RM of Hanover and the Mitchell LUD are working with the Manitoba Department of Highways to provide appropriate infrastructure that ensures a safe place to cross for pedestrians and cyclists. For now, please help ensure your children's safe transportation to and from school by not allowing them to walk or cycle if it requires crossing the highway unless they are supervised by an adult. Thank-you for helping keep our/your kids safe! Mitchell Elementary School Mitchell Middle School
Cyclists
The school continues to receive numerous reports of students practicing unsafe cycling habits in the community on the way to school and on the way home. Many students have been observed not wearing helmets as they ride their bike to school.
By law, anyone under 18 in Manitoba must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet while cycling. And remember: you are your child's best role model, so ensure you wear a helmet every time you cycle.
Please review the information in this website with your kids to help keep everyone safe as they make their way to and from school. Thank you.
PAC Pizza Punch
FAMILY PIZZA LUNCH at the Mitchell Middle School (Grades 5-7 (possibly 8s - TBD))
Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 11:00 am
We invite parents and siblings to join our middle school students for a year-end pizza lunch. Bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets for lunch outside to celebrate another school year completed.
To ensure that we have the right amount of food, we need all food orders to be made in advance.
Please submit your family’s order to the school canteen on THURSDAY, JUNE 21.
Your pizza, chips and drinks will then be waiting for you outside the school for pickup on the day of the lunch. All proceeds will go towards the Outdoor Classroom project. We hope you can join us!!
Order forms can be downloaded here and will be sent home with all students on Monday, June 18.
