MUNISING MIDDLE-HIGH SCHOOL WELCOMES MS. FRANKIE MATTSON BACK HOME!
Ms. Mattson, a 2017 Munising Alumni has just been hired as a Mathematics Paraprofessional and is simultaneously completing her student teaching through Northern Michigan University. Frankie’s mentor teachers are Mrs. Michele Albright and Mrs. Amy Grossman. She will be providing additional supports to math students in her combined role, serving with her mentor teachers as a co-educator in some courses. At the successful completion of her student teaching in April she will earn a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Education with a minor in Biology. She will continue in her paraprofessional role until school ends in June and hopefully return in the fall. Ms. Mattson was an honors student and a standout athlete for the Mustangs and we are happy to have her back!

MUSTANG REVISED EXAM SCHEDULE FOR JAN. 20, 21, & 25
Hello Middle-High School Students & Parents:
We will be using the schedule that you see in this post.
Please note that Thursday (tomorrow) and Friday exams will remain as originally scheduled. The exam schedule slated for today will be pushed to next Tuesday, January 25th (No school on 1/24 due to teacher PD).
Next Tuesday 1/25, students will attend "SECOND SEMESTER CLASSES" for periods 1-7 and then take their 1st Semester, 1st Period Exam at the end of the day. The 35 minute class periods next Tuesday will be nice for teachers and students to review syllabi and classroom expectations together. Ms. Essinger will distribute 2nd Semester schedules to students this Friday, January 21st.
Most coursework is available on teacher Google Classroom websites or through Google Docs, but for those students with concerns about accessing study materials for exams tomorrow, the building is now open and will be open through 9:00pm tonight. Students are welcome to come in and get materials out of their lockers as needed. Additionally, please note that there are 30 minute study periods tomorrow and Friday which will give students and teachers time to prepare.
Stay warm today!
Sincerely,
Mr. Travis

MUSTANG PRIDE!!!
Below is a screenshot of an email from the Gwinn Coach to his Athletic Director about our kids. The Gwinn Superintendent shared this with Mr. Kelto. We are proud of you Ms. Immel, Mr. Mattson, and most importantly the Mustang Girls Basketball Players. This type of respectful and generous behavior does not go unnoticed and can also be seen after every Munising home basketball game when numerous students from our Student Section come down to help school staff rack chairs and clear the floor.
