The Missaukee County Road Commission requests your cooperation through the winter months while snowplowing is taking place.  We ask that you be aware of the fact that the plows are on the roads many mornings at the same time that the buses are picking students up.  We urge you to make sure that you wait a safe distance from the plowed portion of the roadway until the bus actually arrives at your stop.  It is important that we work together to make certain of your safety.

 

A reminder to students walking to the high school/elementary building, you need to go one street towards town and then walk to the other building.  You are not to walk on Houghton Street.  Along this same note, students should not be walking through someone's yard to get to or from school.  Please walk on the sidewalk or road's edge.

 

Students:  Remember if you are absent from school you or your parents can check the teachers' blog to see what assignments you missed.
