Due to forecasted cold and windy conditions, Saturday's graduation ceremony has been moved to the Munising High School gym.

Munising Public Schools will be running with only three buses today due to an additional driver call-in. As a result, families should expect delays of up to 30 minutes in the Shingleton, Wetmore, and in-town areas. We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to transport all students safely and as efficiently as possible. Please plan for adjusted pick-up and drop-off times, and remind students to dress appropriately in case of longer wait times. We will share updates if anything changes. Thank you for your understanding and support.
