Dear Mohawk Families,

From Tiger Trek to Field Day, this year has been full of fun events and memories we will cherish! I hope you will continue to create memories throughout the summer and return with many stories. Along with having fun and relaxing, please continue to read books, write and review math facts. Continuing your child’s education over the summer can make a big difference in preparing your child for the next grade level. Check out our Summer Learning Smore below for lots of fun activities!! Join the Clinton Macomb Public Library reading challenge and take virtual field trips.

Although this year is ending, we are looking forward to the 2024-25 school year! The Mohawk Staff wants to thank you for your continued involvement and support in your child’s education. Our first day of school will be Tuesday, September 3rd. Class assignments will be in Parent Portal in late August and shared at Sneak Peek on Tuesday, August 27th from 5:00-7:30pm so SAVE THE DATE!

The office will be closed for the summer on Thursday, June 20th. Please direct all questions concerning enrollment to the registration office, (586)723-2007. The office staff will return on August 19th. I hope you have a restful summer and get the opportunity to recharge. I look forward to seeing everyone in September!

Lastly, congratulations to our fifth grade students on a job well done as they finish their last month of elementary school and continue their educational journey to middle school. I wish them the very best!

Several factors are considered when placing students into classrooms. A child's placement depends on his/her behavior, academics, personality. We also need to make sure all classrooms are balanced. Ms. Verellen and the staff make recommendations on final placements. Therefore we are no longer accepting any teacher requests for the 24-25 school year beginning June 1st.

You will find out your child's teacher on Tuesday, August 27th at Sneak Peek.

All registration paperwork will be completed online, just click on one of the buttons below. Once you have completed the online form, you will receive an email from enrollment verifying you registered. The enrollment office will contact you to set up and appointment to complete your registration. Your child is NOT registered until you have the meeting.

Dr. Don Brosky, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, visited Mohawk on Tues., May 28th to recognize some of our 3rd grade students.

Logan Ruszala and his team of 3rd grade students developed the idea to build a car in October. They planned out all the parts, designed the interior and exterior pieces, built it together, painted and covered it with paper. It took them months to complete this project. During that time, they learned to set goals and designate tasks to team members. They also worked well together giving and receiving input to build the car, which took a lot of time and perseverance. Dr. Brosky was here to recognize their team efforts, and give them art awards for going way beyond the expectations of art class requirements.

The team of students consists of Logan Ruszala, Carson Cross, David Gjonaj, Charlotte Houghton, Tyler Langan, Braxton Ogden, Grayson Milam and Jacob Michaels.

This was a project that could not be recognized in the art show because it surpassed the size requirements for both the Anton Art Show and our district art show.
