Important Update, Hatfield Families β No School on Monday, February 16th!
Mr. Tanksley, our MCS Superintendent, recently submitted a waiver request to the Indiana Department of Education for the snow day we used on January 30th. The IDOE has approved that request!
Because the waiver was granted, we will NOT need to make up that snow day. As a result, school will NOT be in session on Monday, February 16th.
Enjoy the long weekend, Hatfield!

Hatfield Families β Synchronous eLearning Day
Due to the heavy snowfall and extremely cold temperatures, Mitchell Community Schools will be implementing a synchronous eLearning Day on Monday, January 26, 2026. Mother Nature showed up big time! βοΈ
π What to Expect:
Students will log in to Google Classroom on their Chromebooks
Students will join their teacher live via Google Meet
Live instruction may take place from 9:00β11:30 AM (teachers will provide a schedule that is flexible and subject to change if needed, so we appreciate your patience)
If your child is unable to join live due to connectivity, device, or weather-related challenges, assigned work in Google Classroom may be completed and turned in once we return to in-person learning, and it will still count for attendance.
Thank you for your flexibility and support as we keep our Hatfield students safe, warm, and learningβeven from home! Stay cozy and enjoy the snow! βοΈ

Dear Hatfield Families,
As we continue to monitor the winter weather forecast for next week, we want to share important information about how eLearning will work at Hatfield if school is impacted by weather. If an eLearning Day is called, Mitchell Community Schools will use synchronous eLearning, which is different from the self-paced asynchronous eLearning we have used in the past. With that being said, Chromebooks and chargers will being coming home with students on Friday of this week.
What does this mean for students?
Students will log in through Google Classroom on their Chromebooks
Students will join their teacher live using Google Meet
Live learning will take place from 9:00β11:30 AM
Teachers will be logged in and meeting with students for live instruction during this time
This approach is not self-paced. Teachers will be providing instruction live and may need flexibility as they work with schedules for instructional times. We appreciate your patience and understanding as teachers make these adjustments.
Attendance and State Guidance:
If a student is unable to join a live Google Meet due to connectivity issues, device charge, or other circumstances, the student may complete assigned work in Google Classroom. Completed work will fulfill attendance requirements for the synchronous eLearning Day.
Synchronous eLearning days do not need to be made up at the end of the school year.
The state only allows three asynchronous (self-paced) eLearning days, which MCS has already used.
Because of this, MCS may use as many synchronous eLearning days as needed due to winter weather.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued partnership as we work to keep students learning while keeping everyone safe.
