Wow! Mr. Schleicher’s third graders dissected owl pellets today. Despite their general resemblance to scat, owl pellets are not owl poop. They are regurgitated remnants of prey, specifically the indigestible parts of the meal such as bones, fur, claws and feathers. #ScienceEd #RedRaiderNation
The Marlette Jr/Sr High School will remain virtual next week and will return to face to face instruction on March 1st.
Our bus drivers are worried about our students standing out in the cold waiting for their bus and not wearing appropriate winter gear. Hoodies and t-shirts are not appropriate outer wear at this time with temperatures well below freezing. If your child needs a coat, let us know.
Career Center Bussing Update
AM Session students who attend the Career Center and are not quarantined may ride their regular bus to school in the morning and will have transportation to and from the Career Center for the AM session. Students must provide their own transportation home after the AM bus returns them to the high school. Students who wish to ride the bus to the PM session of Career Center and are not in quarantine must provide their own transportation to the high school and arrive no later than 11:45 a.m. PM session students will then be transported to and from the Career Center and may ride their regular bus home.
Please note: There will be no one in the high school office so students will not have access to phones upon return to the high school.
Please Note: No one will be in the high school office on Thursday, February 18 to Friday, February 19. The phone for parents to leave bus messages in the morning will be unmanned. Parents who need to make changes to their student's morning route should contact the bus driver directly between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Thank you for your cooperation!!
