Mustang Messenger for Parents

The mission of Mitchell Road Elementary School is to offer students a quality education in a safe, inviting learning environment while helping them learn responsibility, self-discipline, and respect for others.

Dismissal

Since the start of the school year, we have been practicing our dismissal procedures so that we can safely get everyone home. This week we will be starting dismissal at our actual dismissal time at 2:15pm. It is very important that parents do not try to wave at students to come out before they are accounted for because of safety concerns. We appreciate your understanding and support of this.

Student Handbook

Parents, please take the time to read through our student handbook that can be found at these links: English Version Student Handbook and Spanish Version Student Handbook. A lot of important information is shared out in our handbook and this can answer many questions you may have about Mitchell Road Elementary.

As we start the new school year, it is the perfect time to join the PTA! Our PTA does so much for our school but they can only do so with the support of members like you. Join now at this link.

Mark your calendars now for our first PTA Spirit Skate Night at Taylors Roller Rink on August 27th from 6:00-8:00pm. The cost is $5 at the door (cash only).

The Run Hard program is starting soon and registration is now open! This is an afterschool program for boys and girls in 3rd - 5th grades that, according to their website, helps kids build the foundation for success in life by teaching them life values through the sport of running. It teaches teamwork, wise choices, how to show positive peer pressure, honesty, respect, leadership and perseverance while training everyone to finish a 5k in November!

Please email Jenni Finley jtfinley@greenville.k12.sc.us if you have questions.
