Welcome to Mittineague School

Mittineague School is a community of engaged learners. We are all here to learn, grow and become good citizens. Our students respect themselves, others, property, and last but certainly not least, learning.

Mittineague is a true neighborhood school and we have worked diligently to create a program that is personalized, caring and high achieving. A small school allows for fewer trasitions and engenders long-term relationships between staff, students and families. We know our kids so well that we can work with them on an individualized level. This entails bulding solid relationships with our families and working together as a team, as effectively as possible.
The Mittineague staff believes that:
  • A safe, respectful environment is essential for learning.
  • High academic and behavioral standards encourage children to reach their personal best.
  • A complete education comes from a caring community, including: the partnership of students, staff, parents and other contributors.
  • Children must learn to solve problems and be responsible citizens in social and academic settings.
  • Multicultural education broadens awareness of and fosters an appreciation for diversity.
  • Children need current technology, the appropriate tools and physical environment to support their learning.
  • Teaching our children to respect and care for our natural environment creates future stewards for our planet.
We care about creating a positive school environment and part of that means eliminating bullying behaviors. The staff at Mittineage School uses a variety of age appropriate resources to teach children to recognize the attitudes and behaviors that contribute to violence. Once out students understand and recognize these behaviors, our staff teachers children empathy skills to help them get along with others. Our children are taught to think about others' feelings, solve problems cooperatively, increase their level of social competence, and to manage their anger in a positive way. Students are also taught friendship skills and anti-bullying strategies; they learn to recognize, refuse, and report bullying behaviors.

Mittineague School is a learning community where everyone has the right to learn, feel safe, be valued, be respected and succeed. Our school wide expectation is that all children be respectful at all times and honor the philosophy We All Belong throughout the school.

Mittineague students believe that:
  • We are here to learn.
  • We are safe.
  • We treat others the way we want to be treated.
  • We take care of everyone and everything.
