The mission of Mitchell is to educate the whole child by focusing on  the intellectual, physical and social-emotional growth of each individual student. Our educators, parents and community partners work collaboratively to provide rigorous academics that are culturally relevant and inclusive.  We strive to educate the whole child in the least restrictive environment, individualizing support for students with diverse needs.  We model a strong work ethic, focus on cultivating a growth mindset and foster a commitment towards one another.  Our team designs cohesive curriculum, rooted in the tenets of balanced literacy, inquiry and language development. We adapt instruction to meet each child's needs and learning styles with the ultimate goal of preparing students for college and career success in an inclusive manner.

Driven by volunteerism, Friends of Mitchell is comprised of parents, teachers, and members of the community. We support Mitchell Elementary through fundraising and other volunteer activities, with a commitment to make Mitchell a great school for all its students. We incorporated as a 501(c)(3) and accept tax deductible donations.

All Mitchell families are welcome and we encourage you to join FoM in supporting our school.
