Welcome to the Mitchell School!
Dear Friends and Families of Mitchell,
On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff, welcome to Mitchell Elementary School!
Mitchell is a close-knit educational community that promotes the academic and social development of all students in a safe, friendly environment. We pride ourselves on our commitment to the children we care for and educate. In addition, all students and staff, regardless of their skin color, language, ability, gender identity or orientation, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, or faith, have dignity and are valued and contributing members of this learning community. We are a proud METCO partnership school.
It's our vision that everyone at Mitchell feels a sense of belonging, and the school is a physically and emotionally safe space for all students, staff, and members of the community.
Our dedicated staff at Mitchell serve approximately 500 students in grade K-5. In addition to the core curriculum, students participate in extraordinary art, music, physical education, media, technology, Spanish, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and music integrations) programs.
Parents, guardians, and volunteers are always welcome at our school. We view you as equal partners in providing your children with meaningful educational experiences. I would encourage you to become an active participant in school programs and activities, particularly with the Mitchell School PTC (http://mitchellptc.org/).
We are proud to be part of an energized, caring team of professionals. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have a suggestion, concern, or just a "good story" to share!
