Teacher of the Year!
We are excited to announce our 2024-25 Teacher of the Year, Ms. Nina Spataro! Ms. Spataro is an amazing educator and advocate for all students at Mitchell Road. She not only works hard each day with her own class, she is always willing to assist in supporting other students and staff as well. We are so lucky to have her as part of our Mitchell Road family and special education team!
Capturing Kids' Hearts Parent Survey
Since we are almost half way through the school year, we are collecting data on our usage of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts model. Please complete this brief survey to share your input: https://iheartckh.com/squrl/adlagpuy. There are different language options at the top. We appreciate your time to share your thoughts with us. Thank you!
Lunch this Week
Talent Show on Friday!
We are excited to see the talent of our MRES students this Friday! The K-2 show will begin at 8:30 and the 3-5 show will begin at 10:00. If your child is performing, you are welcome to join us for either or both shows. Guests should plan to enter at the back of the school by the gym.
Holiday Hustle!
To help us have a little fun this holiday season, staff and students are invited to participate in some festive fun. This is completely optional! We hope this brings a little extra joy to this time of year.
Holiday Luncheon for Staff by PTA
Our amazing PTA will be providing a holiday lunch for all staff this Wednesday, December 13 but we need your help! To allow our teachers to enjoy an extended lunch time together, we need two level II volunteers for each class to cover lunch. To get signed up, go to this SIGNUP GENIUS link. To get registered as a level II volunteer, go to this website. Be sure to do the requirements to sign up for level II.
As of today, we still have a few classes with only one volunteer for coverage and there is no coverage for our Related Arts team. The Related Arts team only needs thirty minutes of coverage so please help out if you are available! We appreciate your willingness to support our teachers in this way.
Yearbook Order
Orders for our yearbook are now open! Use the QR code in the picture below to be taken to the ordering website. Orders will close January 28. We ONLY order 25 extra yearbooks and those always go fast! To guarantee having a yearbook from this year, you should order now.
Half Day Next Week
Please remember that next Tuesday, December 19 is a half day for students. Dismissal will begin at 11:45. Be sure to pick your child up on time.
