We are excited to invite back any former Mitchell Road Mustangs who are graduating from high school or college this year to walk our halls one last time! Graduates and guests are welcome to join us for this event on Thursday, May 15. Visitors need to sign in at the front office by 1:15 pm and the walk will begin promptly at 1:30 pm. Please feel free to wear your cap and gown or college shirt!
We are getting close to our Field Days and we need your help! If you are a level II volunteer and available to help with Field Day on one or both days, please contact Coach Koontz (email: ekoontz@greenville.k12.sc.us) indicating which day or days you would be willing to help.
Field Day for grades K - 2 will be Thursday, May 15 from 9:00-11:00 am
Field Day for grades 3-5 will be Friday, May 16 from 9:00-11:00 am
Volunteers will need to arrive and check in at the front office at 8:30am, then meet in the gym to receive your station assignment. The goal every year is to have multiple people at each station, so everyone can take turns leaving to watch their own child for a few minutes. Thank you in advance for taking time out of your busy schedule to help us on these special days. We could not do it without the help of our volunteers!
As we begin state testing for students in grades 3–5, we kindly ask for your support in protecting the learning environment during this important time. To minimize distractions and ensure students can fully focus, we will not be allowing visitors for lunch in any grade level on testing days. Our testing days will be April 29, May 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 13, and 14. We are sharing this with all parents now so that you can plan accordingly.
Additionally, it's crucial that all students in grades 3–5 arrive on time and that early dismissals are kept to a minimum, as testing will begin daily at 8:15 and take up a significant portion of the school day on the days listed above.

Due to legislative action by the SC General Assembly, effective January 7, 2025, all personal electronic devices, including cell phone and smartwatches, are prohibited during the school day. Mitchell Road already had a policy in place prohibiting cell phone use during the school day. This policy now include smartwatches, which should be left at home or stored in your student's backpack 7:45 am to 2:15 pm. Our School Handbook has been updated to reflect this change in policy. Please refer to page 4 of our Student Handbook.
Additional Information may be found on the GCS Website Cell Phone Policy Updates page.
GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.
