Hatfield Elementary prepares to welcome newest students at Kindergarten Round-Up

MITCHELL— Families with young learners are invited to mark their calendars as Hatfield Elementary School prepares for its annual Kindergarten Round-Up on Thursday, March 26, 2026. The event serves as a critical first step for incoming students to begin their educational journey within Mitchell Community Schools.

The Round-Up offers parents a chance to navigate the enrollment process and familiarize their children with the school environment before the academic year begins.

Registration Requirements

To ensure a smooth transition, the school has outlined several key requirements for potential enrollees:

All students must be at least 5 years old on or before August 1, 2026.

Parents must bring their child’s legal birth certificate, recent immunization records, and any relevant custodial paperwork.

Families are encouraged to schedule a specific time for their visit by clicking the “Register Now” link on the school’s website or by scanning the QR code provided on official event flyers.

Local education officials emphasize that these “Round-Up” events are more than just paperwork; they are designed to bridge the gap between home and school. While at the event, families typically have the opportunity to meet teachers, tour classrooms, and ask questions about the kindergarten curriculum.

Located at 501 North 7th Street, Hatfield Elementary serves as the primary hub for the district’s pre-kindergarten through second-grade students.
