Welcome Back to Mulino Elementary School!
Hello, my name is Cathy Mitchell. I am so grateful to serve as the school principal at Mulino. This is my 23rd year in education, having served as a general education teacher in grades 2-5, an assistant principal and principal. I am coming from the Gladstone School District. I am eager to meet you and to get to know all of our students by name. My educational philosophy is based on the notion that all students can learn and that students do best when a trusting partnership exists between the home and school. I'm excited to work with you! Please stop by and say hello if you are in the building!
Please mark your calendars on August 31st when I will be hosting a Meet the Principal opportunity from 5:00 - 5:30 in the school cafeteria. This informal event will provide us with an opportunity to introduce ourselves and answer any questions you may have prior to the onset of the coming school year. I look forward to seeing you! Immediately following, our Back to School Night will kickoff at 5:30 when you and your child can meet the teacher, listen to a brief introductory presentation, drop off school supplies, view curriculum and visit the classroom. The evening will conclude at 6:30pm. I'm looking forward to seeing our school come to life with students and families!
Kindergarten Soft Start and Assessment Scheduling:
Parents of incoming Kindergartners will need to schedule an appointment through PTC Fast to arrange for their child's academic screening assessments. Parents, these screening assessments take about 45 minutes, so please plan on staying at school for the duration of your child's appointment. You can log on at www.ptcfast/schools/mulino
Kindergarten students will have an abbreviated schedule September 5-8th, dismissing at 12:30pm. Lunch will be served or your child may bring lunch from home. The first full day of Kindergarten is Monday, September 11th.
Important Documents:
Parents, if you child receives medication at school, please provide the medication in the original container and complete the required forms in the school health room. Students may NOT transport prescription medication to and from school.
Bus Transportation forms (the pink form) will be sent home the week of August 17th. Please complete this form and return it to school - either at Back to School Night, or with students on the First Day of School.
My Meal Time is available to parents to fund their children's lunch money accounts. To do this, you will need to know your student's ID, which is found in Parent Vue. Parent Vue is also where you can verify your child's enrollment. If you have questions, please contact Jennifer in the main office at 503-829-6888.
