Mitchell Middle will hold basketball tryouts on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd at the Mitchell Middle School gym. Girls will host tryouts from 2-4 and boys will go from 4-6. All students must have a physical on file in order to tryout. If transportation is an issue, please let Mrs. Warren or Mrs. Ledford know.

We are so excited for Trunk or Treat on October 31!

Mitchell Middle School Basketball Tryouts are happening next week! If you are unable to attend due to transportation or storm related issues, please contact Stephanie Warren (swarren@mhslive.net ) or Whitney Ledford (wledford@mhslive.net).

On Tuesday, October 15th, Troyers and Friends will be providing breakfast at 8:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM, and supper at 5:00 PM at the new Mitchell Elementary/Middle School. They will not be able to take call-ahead orders, as this will be first-come, first-served. They successfully served nearly 850 plates tonight, so try to arrive as close to the allotted times as possible. Also, please enter off of 226, circling around the front of the building and continuing to the back of the building for pickup. They will continue serving until the food runs out. The cooking is delicious, and we hope you stop by and enjoy!

Please consider donating to one of these funds, which will go directly toward student trips that have already been planned. Deposits and payments are due for some of the trips, and we do not want to ask our students to pay any money during this difficult time. This is one way we can offer a little hope and a sense of normalcy. Our Juniors and Seniors already missed out on school trips during COVID, and we don’t want that to happen again this year due to circumstances beyond our control. Please share this message with any contacts you may have outside of our community!

We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.

Mitchell County Schools will be Closed tomorrow, Thursday Sept 26th and Friday, Sept 27th due the severe rain and wind event predicted to hit our area. We are forecasted to receive up to 15+ inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 50 mph+. Rainfall is predicted to become heavy after midnight tonight. Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!

The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm. At this time, our school schedule will remain as planned, with a 2 hour early release day on Friday. We will continue monitor the weather and will keep you informed if changes are needed in the schedule later in the week.

Just a reminder, this week will be Spirit Week for Mitchell Miners. Also, we will be releasing 2 hours early on Friday the 27th.

Just a reminder that next Friday is an Early Release Day!

Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.

Are you interested in becoming a bus driver? Mitchell County Schools will host bus driver training next week!

Thank you all for a great start to the school year! Just a reminder that schools wills be closed on Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day Holiday and Tuesday, September 3 for Staff Development. We look forward to seeing students again on Wednesday, September 4!

Tomorrow will be our first day for all 3rd-8th graders! Please remember the drop-off window is 7:15-7:55 and pick-up is 2:45-3:05. We have seen this week that those who arrive later in the window are not waiting in line and driving through quickly! Thank you for your patience as we work to make drop-off and pick-up as safe and efficient as possible.

Good afternoon, we wanted to remind parents that only sixth grade students will attend school on Monday, seventh grade will attend school on Tuesday, and eighth grade on Wednesday. Doors will open at 7:20 am. We are excited for the new school year!

We are so excited to partner with one of our own Mitchell Miners to bring you the best Miners merch!! Come get your own swag provided by third grade teacher and local small-business owner, Justin Hollifield (Hi-Fi Soap)!! Proceeds from each sale benefit the school.

Sixth Grade Parents, please be sure to join us for Open House tonight! We will begin parking cars at 6:45, this will allow other parents time to leave. Home rooms will be posted at the front doors. We also have Mitchell Miners merchandise and will be accepting the $20 user fee for iPads.
