Munising Public Schools

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.
