Marinette School District

Inspiring Learners. Engaging Communities. Impacting the Future.

The beginning of the year has been exciting! Students are focused on doing their best work and staff have a plan to help them do so! You can help by reminding your child to work hard as they leave in the morning and ask how the day went when they come home.

As your principal, I value collaboration and shared leadership that is driven by always doing what’s best for our students so that each and every child is provided with a safe, engaging and student-centered learning environment. We will consistently focus on grade level standards, data-driven instructional decision-making, and research-based methods for increasing student achievement to ensure that all students are developing the 21st century skills necessary to be successful no matter what they choose to endeavor or pursue in this rapidly changing world.

Sincerely, Mrs. Schewe

What can you do to help your son or daughter?

It’s sometimes good to let your child struggle with math problems. We all need time to figure out why answers are what they are. Don’t just jump right in and give her the solutions. Also be aware of how you talk about math. It’s important to avoid saying you hate it.

Our children have many distractions in their lives such as TV, tablets, PCs, and cell phones, making it is difficult for them to stay focused. Studies have shown that physical education improves students concentration. Please help us by encouraging movement at home.

Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. ... Even after children learn to read by themselves, it's still important for you to read aloud together.

Encourage your child to write! Write anything and anywhere! Write with them and display your thoughts! It could be as simple as a grocery list!

Breakfast is free for all students beginning at 7:30 A.M. Please encourage your child to come into the building as soon as they get to school and grab a breakfast. It is a great way to begin the day.

If you are interested in volunteering at your child's school, chaperoning a field trip, or helping in a classroom, please apply to become a volunteer. Simply fill out the online volunteer application by clicking here. Volunteers are approved for 2 consecutive school years.

If you are unsure if you are approved as a volunteer or have any questions, please call Ms. Carviou at 715-735-2600 or email her at [email protected] .
