About the 5Essentials System
The 5Essentials framework defines five key supports linked to student success:
• Effective Leaders
• Collaborative Teachers
• Ambitious Instruction
• Supportive Environment
• Involved Families
Schools strong in these essentials show higher student growth, attendance, and engagement.
Why the Parent Survey Matters
The 5Essentials Parent Survey gives families a voice in shaping stronger schools. Your feedback helps identify what’s working well and where schools can grow—supporting better teaching, leadership, and family partnerships.
Schools use the results to guide improvement plans, strengthen communication, and build more supportive learning environments for every student.
Research Impact
Schools strong on at least three of the five essentials are up to ten times more likely to improve student learning. Even small gains in these areas predict better outcomes over time.
Head to the sideline store to purchase your style and stay warm for the winter!
ACCEPT Core Value of the Week: TEAMWORK
At Mitchell, we challenge every Marauder to live out our core value of Teamwork this week. Teamwork isn’t just working side-by-side—it’s choosing to lift each other up so we can all succeed.
Show Teamwork by:
-
Actively collaborating with your peers and teachers
-
Including others by helping, listening, and making space for every voice
-
Celebrating each other’s wins, big or small
-
Staying positive and encouraging those around you
Let’s commit to creating a community where everyone feels supported. When we work together, we rise together.
Dear Mitchell High School Families and Community,
As we move through the school year, we want to share some exciting updates and important reminders about how we’re supporting student success through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and our school-wide attendance initiative.
🌟 MTSS: Meeting Every Student Where They Are
At Mitchell High School, we believe every student deserves the support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our MTSS framework helps us identify and address individual student needs through a tiered system of interventions. Whether a student needs academic help, social-emotional support, or behavioral guidance, MTSS ensures no one falls through the cracks.
We’re proud of the progress made in implementing MTSS strategies, and we continue to refine our practices to better serve our diverse learners.
💙 PBIS: Celebrating Positive Behavior & Core Values
Our PBIS program is all about recognizing and reinforcing the positive choices our students make every day. From showing respect and responsibility to demonstrating resilience, we’re building a culture where good behavior is celebrated and encouraged.
Students who consistently demonstrate these values will be recognized and celebrated throughout the year.
To honor their efforts, we’re hosting a PBIS Drawing on Monday, November 17! Students who’ve shown outstanding commitment to our core values will be entered into a drawing for fun prizes and recognition. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for helping make Mitchell a safe, respectful, and welcoming place for all.
📅 Attendance Matters: Striving for 92%
Did you know that students who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed academically and socially? That’s why we’ve set a school-wide attendance goal of 92%. Every day counts, and we need your help to make it happen!
Here’s how you can support your student’s attendance:
- Schedule appointments outside of school hours when possible.
- Encourage your student to attend every day, even when they’re feeling a little tired.
- Stay in communication with our attendance office if your student needs to be out.
Together, we can ensure our students are present, engaged, and ready to learn.
