Mitchell Miners

Dear Mitchell Middle School Students and Families,

Welcome back! I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable summer. We are excited to begin another wonderful year at Mitchell Middle School, and we can’t wait to welcome our students back to campus.

At Mitchell, we remain committed to creating a supportive, safe, and challenging learning environment where every student can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether your student is just beginning middle school or entering their final year with us, we are honored to be part of their educational journey.

Please keep an eye out for upcoming communications, including important dates, supply lists, and back-to-school events. As always, our doors are open—please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need support.

We look forward to seeing our students soon and kicking off a fantastic school year together!

Warm regards,
Jason Hall
Principal

📣 New Remote Learning Plan Approved! Here’s What Families Need to Know 📣

Mitchell County Schools has adopted a new Emergency Remote Learning Plan for the 25-26 school year! With this new plan, all K–13 students will now take their devices home in the event of school closures due to weather, emergencies, or other events. The full Remote Learning Plan can be found on the Mitchell County Schools' website under Departments > Technology.

💻 To support this initiative, a non-refundable $20 User Fee will now apply to ALL students in grades K–13 beginning this school year.

✔️ This fee covers one accidental incident per year

✔️ K-8 devices will NOT be sent home daily but only in preparation for remote learning instruction

✔️ 9-13 devices will continue to go home on a daily basis as usual

✔️ Families needing support can contact their school for assistance

✔️ A limited number of hotspots are available for those needing assistance with connectivity

Your child’s access to learning—no matter where they are—is our priority. Stay tuned for more info coming home soon, and thank you for partnering with us!
