Character Trait of the Month

The character trait for the month of November is Growth Mindset.  A growth mindset is believing in the power of yourself and your brain! We know our intellect and abilities develop when we try difficult things, use the right strategies, and don't give up. So a growth mindset is when we know, with practice, we will get better at something.

Parent Teacher Conferences



Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday, November 15th and Thursday, November 18th from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. Sign-up sheets will be sent home. Please watch for more information to come.

The Marinette Elementary PTO would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Jeans Cakes & Bakery for their generous donation of 470 cookies for our Halloween Dance Party! They were delicious and loved by all! 

Additionally, thank you to our district families for their participation in this fun event for the kids. It was a huge success!

The Wisconsin weather is changing. Fall is upon us. Just a reminder that students do go outdoors daily, weather permitting. Please be sure to dress them appropriately for the weather. Should you need assistance with providing warm winter clothing for your child, please contact the office at 715-735-2500.

Would you like to help support our students? We have opportunities for volunteering. We are looking for individuals to read to students, assist with classroom events, as well as field trips, and PTO. If you are interested please visit our Secure Volunteer Site and apply today.

Fire Safety

The Marinette Fire Department presented a Fire Safety program to celebrate Fire Safety month to students at the Marinette Primary School. Students met Pluggy the Fire Hydrant and were able to see the fire fighters in full gear. At the end of the presentation, each student received an activity book as well as their very own fire hat!

Marinette Primary School is a PBIS School

What is PBIS?  PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. It is an evidence-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes every day. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed.  Please review the matrix with your child.

PBIS All School Reward Carnival

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help out.  We could not have done it without you!  The children as well as the staff had loads of fun!
