On Tuesday, September 7 and Wednesday, September 8, 2021, two Munising High School students and one Munising Middle School student tested positive for COVID-19. Parents of students determined to be close contacts are in the process of being notified.
Munising Public Schools is also working with the LMAS District Health Department to determine if new Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Quarantine Guidance released today will allow some students to return to school. Students will be contacted if they are able to return. Students that are required to remain quarantined are required to attend all classroom Google Meets that are available for virtual attendance.
We thank everyone for their continued support and patience.
ATTENTION MUNISING FOOTBALL FANS. Unfortunately there will be no JV or Varsity games this week. Rudyard has canceled the JV game scheduled for Thursday (9/9) due to injuries. Engadine has forfeited the Varsity game on Friday (9/10) due to a shortage of available and/or healthy players. On the bright side, Stang Nation notches a “W” for week three. Our JV & Varsity are currently scheduled to play a doubleheader at Newberry on Thursday, Sept. 16th.
MUNISING MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL - Chromebook laptops - update! Laptop dispersal is scheduled to occur tomorrow (9/8) in first period for grades 6-9 and any other students that do not have their own devices. Currently, and throughout the year, any students that are on quarantine and do not have a reliable computer to connect to the internet should contact Mr. Travis at mike.travis@mps-up.com to schedule a device pick up or drop off. Students on quarantine are expected to access coursework through individual teacher Google Classrooms and via Google Meet as available. Students and parents are also encouraged to email teachers as needed. Flexibility and amnesty in submitting late coursework will be afforded to students in quarantine.
On Monday, September 6 and Tuesday, September 7, 2021, two Munising High School students tested positive for COVID-19. Parents of students determined to be close contacts are in the process of being notified and students will be following quarantine protocols.
As with the previous school year, Munising Public Schools continues to work closely with the LMAS District Health Department to monitor the safety of our students and staff. Quarantined students are required to attend all classroom Google Meets that are available for virtual attendance.
ATTENTION GIRLS TENNIS: There will be NO tennis this Friday, September 10th. Ishpeming-Westwood canceled the match. We are tentatively looking at a reschedule on 9/22 if they are available.
Temporary sidewalks have been installed on both sides of the crosswalk on M-28 near the Middle/High School, so the crosswalk is available to be used to cross M-28 safely. A crossing guard will also be at the crosswalk before and after school.
