Summer School Part 2!!!
The second session of summer school will begin tomorrow. There will be 9 days total-Tuesday-Wednesday and Thursday for the next three weeks.
For those students who are attending for credit recovery, 100% attendance is mandatory.
Our staff is excited to see you all tomorrow at breakfast and after lunch, you'll be heading home!!
Please join us tomorrow (June 29) at 2 PM at the Wheelhouse as we bid Mr. McKee farewell. The school community is invited!
Due to a lightning strike, the school has limited access to the network which affects our phones and other services. We are surveying the damage. No one is hurt! We think it hit the flag pole.
Due to the weather, the availability of officials and timer system, the Regional 45 Track Meet will now be held at Pickford Tuesday May 24th. Start time will be 4 PM. Those that qualify will secure a spot at UP Finals in Kingsford on June 4th.
The track meet that was originally scheduled for May 10th was cancelled due to weather. It was moved to May 12th (today) and it has been cancelled again due to lack of teams being able to make it. It has been rescheduled for May 31st.
The Rockets will NOT be attending that meet due to school will be out of session.
Thank you for being flexible!!!

Tomorrow kicks off Teacher Appreciation Week and we have a lot to celebrate at Whitefish! We have the best teachers in the entire country (it is true, I have checked!) This year, to help celebrate our teachers we are asking that all parents make sure their students get a good nights sleep, all students show up to school ready to learn, and all community members take a minute and thank someone you know that is a teacher. Not all heroes wear capes; some stand in front of the future everyday, guiding them to become great people!
The track meet scheduled for St Ignace has been cancelled due to forecasted weather. Please spread the word!
The school is currently having some water issues. The pipe leading into our well has a pinhole leak. We have had Miss Dig come out and Mayer Well Drilling. Water to the school is still on but it cannot be drank. Bottle water has been provided for the kids. Water for cooking has also been provided.
Here is an updated list of track meets:
