The Marinette School District needs to operate in a more efficient manner due to our annual
funding decreasing, while costs are increasing. Like other rural districts in our state, we're dealing with ongoing budget challenges. Declining student enrollment is one of the major challenges. Projections indicate this trend will slowly continue.
What do we propose? Check out the short video here or the red YouTube video icon above.

Message from Mr. Whisler
Keeping Your Students Engaged During Remote Learning
I am very proud of all of our students in how they are adjusting to our “new way of doing school.” The staff should receive some credit as well.
The reality is that our students will likely be in this “new way of doing school” for a while yet.
Because of this, I wanted to share out a couple recommendations to help our students learn while they are at home.
- Allow your student to work in a “flexible learning environment.” This means that your student should be able to choose where in the home they are able to complete their learning. In today’s work environment, more and more companies are providing employees with non-traditional and flexible work environments. This is great practice!
- Set a schedule for your student and check-in regularly. There is still a need for routine. A student’s typical school day is highly structured and has multiple check-ins with adults throughout the day. With today’s increased attention to Social and Emotional development, these check-ins are even more important.
- Help your student learn what they are passionate about. Students don’t need to spend all of their time “hitting the books.” They should spend some time each day doing something that they love. Maybe that is reading books, or going for a run. This is also a time to explore a new interest - like maybe learning to sew or cooking and baking. Give something new a shot!
Finally, this is also a time for family bonds to grow and there is nothing wrong with helping out with the household chores. I know the kids will thank me later!
As always, if you would like to talk about the return to school further, any of the learning models, have questions of any kind, or would just like to sit down and talk, please feel free to reach out to me at (715)735-1505 or mwhisler@marinette.k12.wi.us

Message from Mr. Hanson
Hello MMS Parents and Guardians,
What a great start to a unique year we’ve had! Your kids are persevering very well right now. I’d like to share with you some of the practices that staff and students are engaged in as part of our Safe & Healthy Schools plan. Safe & Healthy Schools encompasses physical safety as well as developing a sense of belonging and community at school. Positive relationships are the focus of this work. Among the strategies we are currently implementing are:
- Cohort grouping
- Regular hand washing/sanitizing
- Staff professional development on trauma and its effects
- Rounding by admin with staff and students to assess culture
- A focus on communication with families, including Marine Salutes and Good News postcards
- Conferring with all students regarding academic goals
- Morning Greetings
- 2x10 strategy: staff identify one student per month that they will intentionally connect with for 2 minutes, 10 days in a row.
- Delivery of 7 Mindsets, a social-emotional curriculum that focuses on building character
- Regular staff collaboration with a focus on providing proactive and reactive supports
As I look at the first month of school, I’m very proud of our students and our staff. All have understood that this year is different than any other. It’s been exciting to see students grow thus far. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our Safe & Healthy Schools model.
Respectfully,
Matt Hanson
