Mayland Early College High School

We are excited about the upcoming school year and the changes and opportunities that it will bring for our students. As usual, kindergarten will have a staggered entry based on last name to help them become acclimated to school. Also, we will have a staggered entry based on grade level for Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle this year. We hope this will be better for students to become familiar with the building and parents to become familiar with drop-off/pick-up procedures. Mitchell High School and Mayland Early College will have a regular schedule for all students beginning the first day of school. The document below outlines the schedule for the first week for each school. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CzDySFquyMGgmLCd_Q1mIu4HquVYViExFVqrQLLZVvE/edit?usp=sharing

Good afternoon from Mayland Early College High School. This is a brief reminder that textbooks from spring and summer courses must be returned by next Tuesday to ensure that students get the needed textbooks for the fall semester. School staff members are working diligently to ensure all textbooks are ready. If books are not returned promptly then our supply is limited. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your summer break.
