Whitefish Township Community Schools

Rocket Athletics Update: The game scheduled for Grand Marais tomorrow is still on. The boys team will ride the Newberry bus at dismissal. From there, they will head to the game. The home game that was postponed this past Thursday is now scheduled for Feb 22nd. Boys game only at 5:30 PM. Go Rockets!

Whitefish Township Community School will be closed Friday due to high winds, dangerously low wind chill temperatures and extended lake effect snow. The dance will be delayed to a date to be determined. This will allow time for the staff to prepare and will give us time to ensure the roads will be safe for travel to and from the dance. Stay warm and stay safe!

Miss Eve and Mr. Rick are on the roads headed to drop your kids off. They maybe delayed a couple of minutes due to the weather and road conditions. Please be patient!!! I will be monitoring the weather/wind chill and road conditions all night...Mr. Gross

Due to the weather the basketball game for tonight will be canceled. Mr. Gross will be working with Grand Marais to reschedule the game. No after school activities today.

Today we have 100% attendance!!! Yay! Reminder that February 8th is count day. While attendance is important every day it becomes absolutely critical on count day. If you missed out on ordering rocket gear two weeks ago the lady that did them is offering another week of ordering. If you would like to place an order we have order forms in the office and the order and money is due on Friday, February 3rd. If you placed an order with the 1/20/23 deadline those orders will be coming home with your student today.

Due to the impending weather that is on it's way, all afterschool events are cancelled. The field trip will head back 30 minutes early to allow for safe travel. Dismissal will be at the regularly scheduled time. Have a great weekend!!!

This message is for HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PARENTS @ WTCS Below is a link for an interest survey. https://forms.gle/VVLsHvSkb38g4t8eA We are looking at possibly having a prom for students in grades 9-12 at Grand Hotel on Saturday, May 13th. We have been invited by Mackinac Island Public Schools along with Grand Marais. It would be about $85 per student for the ticket, which will include dinner and a night of music/dancing. ($170 per couple) Grand Hotel will waive the rental fee of the room. With permission, students would be allowed to invite another student from a different district (1 invite per student). The student's school principal would have to sign off on the permission form. This event will be chaperoned by a few MIPS staff members and Mr. Gross. This will be a formal event and will follow Grand Hotel dress requirements. Before we do any additional planning, we would like to get some feedback from students and parents. Please answer the 3 questions below. Transportation to and from the ferry will be the responsibility of the parents. This is NOT an overnight trip. Thanks! Mr. Gross This survey does NOT guarantee we will go. This is an interest survey.

Due to the pending storm coming today, we will not have school today. Please stay safe.
