HELP WITH MASKS - Hello Munising MS/HS Parents & Students, our stock of disposal face masks is quickly dwindling. Many students report to the office for a new mask each day. Please help out if possible by reminding your child to bring a face mask from home each day. If students can bring/use washable cloth masks from home, it will help us stretch our limited supply and cut down on trash volume. Your help is greatly appreciated! :-)

ATTENTION PSAT & SAT TESTERS & PARENTS - GRAPHING CALCULATORS ARE VERY IMPORTANT:
For Fall Testing this Wednesday, October 13th (PSAT for 10th & 11th) and on October 28th (PSAT-9th & SAT 12th) it is recommended that student testers have a College Board approved graphing calculator. The approved models by brand are available at this link -https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10/taking-the-tests/test-day-checklist/approved-calculators. It may be difficult to borrow or buy a calculator in time for fall testing, but it is extremely important that students have a graphing calculator for PSAT & SAT testing in April. Although numerous brands/models are approved by the College Board, if you are going to purchase one for spring testing, we strongly recommend that you select the TI84+ CE. This calculator can be purchased from numerous vendors, but this link enables you to review it online - https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-TI-84-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B00TFYYWQA/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ti84+plus+ce+calculator&qid=1633966672&sr=8-3
In addition to being a useful tool that helps students to earn higher scores on PSAT/SAT, a good graphing calculator is a great classroom tool in Algebra, Geometry, and Precalculus.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, on Monday, October 11, 2021, six bus routes will be combined into five bus routes in the morning. Normal pick up times may be later than usual. At the end of the day, two bus runs will be combined to take students home. All students who normally ride bus #2 will ride bus #10. Students may get home up to 30 minutes later than their usual time.
Wendy Zdeb, the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) Executive Director paid a visit to Munising Middle-High School yesterday (10/7) for a tour of the facilities and to learn about educational needs, priorities, and culture in our school district. Wendy met with Mr. Travis, Mr. Kelto, and numerous teachers. Wendy is a former teacher, assistant principal, athletic director, and principal. She is a champion for education and now serves at the head of the main professional organization serving secondary principals and schools with counsel on legislative, legal, and educational advancement issues as well as providing a strong lobbying voice in Lansing and nationally for public education. Thanks to Wendy for her interest in and support of public education in the Upper Peninsula. Based on her tweet, it is apparent that she was as impressed by the view from our school as she was by the views shared within the school. Please visit again!
