We are excited to announce that Marinette School District will be holding Summer Learning as planned, however, we will be doing so with several safety precautions to keep your child safe and healthy. Students will remain in the same classroom, with the same teacher, for the duration of the summer learning day. Students will have Art, Music, and PE in the classroom or outside. Teachers will be teaching academics, however the primary focus will be on social emotional skills and just plain having FUN! Because we cannot have the enrichment classes that we would typically have during summer learning, the teachers are prepared to bring the enrichment activities to their classroom for an engaging experience for their students.
General Summer Learning Information:
- Dates: June 14th through July 9th from 8:00am-12:30pm
- Available for students going into Grades 5K through 8
- Summer Learning will be held at Marinette High School
- Registration will open February 22nd
Safety Measures:
**These safety measures will still be in place like the normal school year unless the CDC and DHS guidelines change prior to the start of summer learning.
- Facial Covering
- Students will be required to wear facial coverings at all times.
- Exception: While outdoors during recess, and during mealtimes.
- Classroom setup
- Students will have assigned seats that maintain physical distancing.
- Recess
- Students will be allowed to have recess, however they will be going outside with their own classroom while maintaining physical distancing.
- Students will sanitize their hands prior to going outside and upon entering the building.
- Breakfast and Lunch
- Students will be served in the classroom.
If you have any questions please feel free to Stephanie Betts @sbetts@marinette.k12.wi.us.

Message from the School Nurse:
Communities That Care: "Small Talks" Campagne
Alcohol can do lasting damage to a kid’s growing brain, impacting everything from how they learn and make decisions to how they handle emotions. But you don’t need a big speech to help a kid understand the dangers of underage drinking.
Start small instead. Having a lot of small, casual talks—at the store, in the drive-thru, or between video games—can make a big difference in a kid’s health. Starting around 8 can help prepare kids to make a lifetime of healthy decisions.
If you are looking for meaningful ways to talk with your child about underage drinking, please click here for more information on this important prevention strategy.

Message From the Principal
Welcome MHS Families to 2021! We are preparing for 2nd Semester to begin and look forward to a fresh start with new classes for our students. Our counselors are extremely busy right now not only filling schedule holes for 2nd semester for our students but they are also working on building schedules for the 2021-22 school year! This is an arduous process that involves working with each and every student, including our incoming freshmen from the Middle School. Please find time to discuss your child’s current and future schedule so they build a career plan post high school that meets their needs and desires, whether that be the military, college, or straight into the workforce.
GREAT NEWS! Opening up our building on Wednesdays to students in need of help or intervention during the afternoons WENT SO WELL 1st Semester that we have decided to open up the building even longer for ALL students 2nd Semester. Starting Wednesday, January 27th, we will use the revised Wednesday schedule below so that ALL students have the opportunity to come into the building to make up work, work with teachers, attend a club meeting, etc. Classrooms will follow all mitigating practices so face coverings, physical distancing and sanitization are still required. ATTENDING ON THIS DAY DURING THE 12:15-3:15PM TIME SLOT IS STILL A REQUIREMENT FOR STUDENTS FAILING ANY CLASSES. Please see the details about this schedule below:
Every Wednesday:
9:00-11:30am: Morning Intervention Time for ALL students
Failing students (if cannot attend afternoon)
Past quarantined students that need to make up work/assessments/labs
Any student who needs academic support
Students who want to meet through a Google Meet (must be set up with teacher)
Students needing to use the bus for transportation**`
**We will have the Commons supervised by an EA from 7:45-9:00am for bus students. Please let us know if your son/daughter will require transportation via the bus.
11:30am-12:15pm: Lunch - bagged lunches will be available for students that want them
12:15-3:15pm: Afternoon Intervention Time for ALL students
REQUIRED for students failing any class - attendance is taken
Open for any other student that needs support - attendance not taken
Wednesday Intervention Schedule
The Intervention Time from 9:00am-11:30am is for ALL students from both cohorts that need extra time with their teachers.
-
7:30 - 8:30am: Teacher Collaborative Time
-
8:30- 9:00am: Staff Meeting/Training
-
9:00 - 11:30am: Make-up/intervention time for ALL students
-
11:30am - 12:15pm: Staff Lunch
The Intervention time listed below (12:15-3:15) is REQUIRED for all students receiving an F in any class and is in-person learning with the student coming into the building to meet with their teachers until they are passing. Attendance is taken. All other students from both cohorts may also attend.
-
12:15 - 3:15pm: Make-up/intervention time for ALL students
-
3:30 End of Teacher Work Day
We are very happy with the results of this intervention time on Wednesdays and hope students take advantage of this time teachers are making available to them. We have had students receiving a failing grade leave with a B in the class by attending just one Wednesday. This would also be a good time for those students that have little to no wifi connectivity at home to come in and use our wifi.
If you have any questions about this revised Wednesday schedule please feel free to email or give us a call.

Message From the Assistant Principal:
Hello Marine Families!
We are very excited to be starting our second semester and can’t believe how fast the year is going! I only have a few reminders to families as we start the second half of the year. First, please take time to reflect on how the first semester has gone for your son/daughter. Are you happy with their grades and attendance? If you answered no to either question, please let us know how we can support you and/or your son/daughter. Contact his/her school counselor to set up a time where we can help assist. Second, as with any new semester there will be new classes and teachers on your son/daughter’s schedule. Checking in on Skyward Family Access will help you stay current on their schedule, homework assignments, tests, lunch account, and attendance. I encourage all of you to check this weekly so you can see how they are progressing and have conversations to help assist him/her with their work. We know how hard everyone is working and sacrificing during all of this so we want to thank you for all you have done to help make this semester a great one.
Stay warm, stay healthy and GO MARINES!
Mr. Draheim
