A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Welcome to Marinette Primary School! My name is Shainie Elliott and I have the privilege of being the principal this year. I am so excited to see our returning students and to meet all of our new families coming into our building. 


Our dedicated staff has been working hard this summer learning new things and making their classrooms a welcoming, happy place to learn. If at any time you have questions, thoughts, ideas or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out! I hope you can make our Open House on August 27 from 2:00-5:30 pm. You can drop off supplies, meet your teachers, take a walk around the building and hopefully say hello to me. I look forward to working together to make this an amazing school year! Welcome to the Marinette Primary School family!!

If a student leaves early prior to 2:00 p.m. it will be considered a half day absence.  Parents may also contact your child's teacher through SeeSaw.
