Space Unit in 8th grade Science
Mrs. Hanson's second learning target focused around the planets. Students explored the different characteristics of the inner and outer planets, and looked at other objects in space.

Mrs. Hanson gave an Earth Day Challenge to her students. Caden came through and picked up the garage by his house. What a great way to help the planet.

Message from Mr. Whisler

Thank You!
It has been a struggle to decide what message I would like to send to the Marinette Middle School community during this time. However, in the end, I think that a simple, but whole hearted “THANK YOU!” sums up my thoughts best.

Thank you for supporting our middle school students during this time of extreme uncertainty and concern!
  • It is scary enough and uncertain enough to be a middle schooler, so to add to that the removal of your safe and structured learning environment, removal of regular contact with friends, and removal of your academic and social/emotional supports is nothing short of traumatic.

Thank you for doing everything that you can to provide a safe and structured learning environment for your students!
  • While many of you continue to work (some as essential workers) outside the home and within the home, you set up structures and supports within your student’s day to ensure that a reasonable amount of time was dedicated to learning, and communicated your expectation that your student’s learning continue.

Thank you for supporting and recognizing the school staff that have given WAY MORE THAN 100% of themselves to help your students be successful!
  • Our staff have been wonderful and dedicated to our students. Many have spent hours, well beyond the “contract day” on Google Meets and on phone calls with individuals and groups of students. Our staff have altered their instructional delivery models and adjusted their curriculums to make sure that our students continue with essential learning.

I think that this pretty well sums it up. I could easily go on and on. As we head into the Summer, we will have many more conversations about what the Fall looks like and the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. Those conversations and any decisions will be communicated throughout the Summer. Until that time...Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe...Be a Believer! and remember to stay #MarineStrong.

As always, if you would like to talk about this topic further, have questions about this, or would just like to sit down and talk, please feel free to reach out to me at (715)735-1505 or [email protected]
How to Talk to Your Middle Schooler about COVID-19

Lately, I have been getting questions on how to talk to middle schoolers about COVID-19 and their life right now. This can be a tough job - however, a very important one. In my search for guidance, I came across the article linked below from The MGH Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds (Massachusetts General Hospital).

Message from Mr. Hanson

Dear MMS Parents and Guardians,

As we wrap up an unprecedented school year, I’d like to continue with Mr. Whisler’s show of gratitude for each of you. Thank you for partnering with us as we provided learning opportunities for your son or daughter. So many families faced uncertainty and yet our students were able to access learning opportunities. That is in large part due to your work at home, in partnership with the hard work of our MMS teaching staff. Education is always a team effort, but never more so than in the last few months. I have always valued the relationships that have been established between myself and our students and parents. It is truly the most gratifying aspect of my position. I wish you all the best. Have a great and safe summer,

Mr. Hanson
