Family Resources
Tulsa Public Schools is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he or she needs to succeed in school and beyond. We encourage our families to be active participants in their child's education. The school offers many opportunities for families to get involved. By connecting families to school officials, community members, other parents, knowledge, and powerful allies, these opportunities build bridges and networks that support schools and sustain whole communities.

Family Atmosphere
Here at Mitchell Elementary, our staff and faculty work hard to create a calm and inviting atmosphere for students and their families. We want parents involved in the learning process, and we encourage two-way communication frequently through surveys, one-on-one meetings, or even a quick chat in the car line during pickup.
