Hello Rocket Families: on Friday the CDC came out with the recommendation that masks on all school buses is optional moving forward. Whitefish Township Community Schools will follow this recommendation and starting Monday 2/28/22, masks on the buses are going to be left to the discretion of parents. Please reach out to the school if you would like your child to remain masked while on the bus or in classes and we will support you.

We are having SUMMER SCHOOL this year! It will be two three week sessions (see picture of calendar) We want your child to attend. Please let us know if they will be coming so we can start planning. The set up is going to be K-6 Enrichment in Math and Reading and 7-12 credit recovery and enrichment. Transportation provided and meals! Oh, and fun! Lots of fun will be provided too.

GAME ON!!! Beaver Island made their flight and is on their way!! Game time is 5:30 PM. Girls first and then boys. B.I. will be leaving right after the game to beat the storm. Let's have a great game!!!

Due to the storm warning, the Friday morning games have been cancelled. Parents, players, coaches, staff and refs will not have to drive in the weather. The games for tonight are still on! We will be monitoring the weather and will be in contact with Beaver Island and Island Airways. This year, B.I. has played a total of 3 games. The Paradise Rockets are doing what we can to get both schools some games. Please be patient with the situation as every decision is based on TRAVEL SAFETY. Please stay tuned and I will update you throughout the day as I get word of their travel check-ins. Thank you! Mr. Gross

Clarification: the games are Thursday night and Friday morning.

Rocket Basketball Venue Change Due to several factors, the “game plan” has changed. The single most factor is flight safety and the storm headed towards Beaver Island. We will now HOST Beaver Island. The game will be at 5:30 PM with the girls first and the boys game after. They will stay the night, eat breakfast and we will play at 8:30 AM. (Girls first then boys. They will be 6 minute quarters due to travel arrangements) Please feel free to share this message and GO ROCKETS!!! Mr. Gross, Athletic Director

Please see the attached letter about a positive Covid-19 case at the school. Covid-19 continues to be very present in our community and surrounding areas and we are seeing our hospitals reach their limits on the care that they can provide.

We are going to be VIRTUAL for Wednesday and Thursday as we are experiencing a lot of stomach illnesses here at the school in students and staff. All classrooms will continue to be scrubbed from top to bottom in an effort to mitigate the spread of all illnesses.
