Over the past few days, several Munising High School students tested positive for COVID-19. Due to delays in parents being contacted by the LMAS District Health Department because of the COVID case volume in their coverage area, school personnel will initially contact parents of students determined to be close contacts in school. Parents of recent close contacts have already been contacted by the school, and those parents will also receive a call from LMAS. An LMAS case investigator will also contact parents of the COVID positive student as soon as possible to determine if there were any close contacts outside of school.
Due to Munising Public Schools doing universal masking, the new Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Quarantine Guidance allows the students determined to be close contacts to continue attending school, providing they are symptom free and test negative for COVID-19 for seven days after contact with the COVID positive student. This only pertains to students identified as close contacts in school. Munising school personnel will administer the COVID tests at the beginning of each school day.
We thank our students, staff and parents for their patience and understanding in yet another challenging school year.
ATTENTION MUSTANG MIDDLE SCHOOL ROBOTICS FANS:
The Middle School Robotics Kickoff Event for the ElectroStangs season is Saturday, September 18th at 11:30AM in room 2205 at the Munising MS/HS. Team sign-ups are in the office and will be available through October 1st for any interested Middle School Students.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 15th through 17th, two bus runs need to be combined to take students home at the end of each day. All students who normally ride bus #10 will ride bus #2 home. Students may get home up to 30 minutes later than their usual time. This is the end of day bus run only.
We may combine bus runs occasionally throughout the school year due to a shortage of bus drivers. We will continue to inform parents if we do. Thank you for your understanding.
