Dr. Archie Mitchell — SES
Happy National Principals Appreciation Month!
Before he was leading our Little Warriors, he was once sitting in an elementary classroom himself!
This month, we celebrate Dr. Archie Mitchell, Principal of Senatobia Elementary School, and the leader he became. From student to school leader, Dr. Mitchell now has the opportunity to encourage, inspire, and help Little Warriors discover who they can become.
Thank you, Dr. Mitchell, for your leadership and for investing in the lives and futures of our students!
The Leader He Became. The Leaders He Helps Shape.

Strong attendance is built one day at a time, and families and schools each play an important role. When challenges arise, reach out. Let us help. Keep the communication going.
Every day in school is another opportunity for our Warriors to learn more, grow more, and become more.
Strong Attendance. Strong Futures.
Be Present. Be Prepared. Be Life Ready.

Staying informed is an important part of supporting strong attendance. We want our Warrior families to be aware of important attendance updates for the 2026–2027 school year and understand what they mean for students and families.
When schools and families work together, we can keep students in school, supported, and on the path to success.
Every Day Matters. Every Warrior Matters.

Strong attendance habits begin one day at a time. Being in school consistently gives our Warriors more opportunities to learn, connect, grow, and achieve throughout the year.
Let’s make September count and keep building habits that last!
Good Attendance Today. Great Opportunities Tomorrow.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the courage and sacrifice of our first responders and heroes, and reflect on the strength and unity shown in the days that followed.
May we never forget.

📚 September is Attendance Awareness Month!
As we recognize September as Attendance Awareness Month, here’s a simple reminder: Every day matters. Every minute counts. Every Warrior matters.
Missing just two days of school each month can add up quickly. Strong attendance gives students more opportunities to learn, grow, connect, and succeed.
Let's make every day count!
Strong Attendance. Strong Futures.

Progress Reports are coming home today, September 8! Be sure to check your child’s progress report and take a few minutes to celebrate accomplishments, discuss areas for growth, and set goals for continued success.
Every step of progress matters as we prepare our Warriors to be Life Ready!
