Staff member Meloni is back for another What We're Reading Wednesday! Her current read is The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett. Using the handy Libby app, she's able to read it on her Kindle -- but we also have a physical copy available!
"If you enjoyed the novel The Help as much as I did, you should definitely add Stockett's newest release to your reading list. She has a great writing style that really draws you in."

Mitchell Community Schools is excited to announce the launch of our Bluejacket Virtual Academy for the 2026–2027 school year! 💻🎓

This program is designed for students in grades 6–12 and provides a flexible, high-quality online learning experience while still being fully connected to Mitchell Community Schools.

✔️ Full-time enrollment with MCS
✔️ Accredited curriculum through Edmentum
✔️ Instruction from certified teachers
✔️ Ongoing support and progress monitoring

Mitchell Community Schools values the benefits of in-person learning and encourages our current students to remain engaged within our school buildings; however, we are proud to offer the Bluejacket Virtual Academy as an additional option and welcome enrollment from students who are seeking a virtual learning environment.

We are proud to continue expanding opportunities to meet the diverse needs of our students and families!
