Michigamme Elementary

We hope everyone had (and is still having) a GREAT summer. The office staff is officially back daily in the office, please free to call or stop in everyday between 8-3. We are working on getting teacher placement letters completed and they should be in your mailboxes by the end of next week. For those who want to get a jumpstart on school supply shopping, you can view the school supply list for the 2026-27 school year here.

Please take a moment and complete the Educational Benefits form linked here. This information helps ensure funding for student programs across the district.

Please take a moment and update/verify student information and emergency contact information in Powerschool. You can use this form for more detailed information about this process. If you have trouble accessing Powerschool, please contact the main office for assistance.

You still have a few weeks to complete the Summer Reading Challenge. Students who meet or exceed their goal will be invited to our readers breakfast and be enterered to win a vareity of prizes. For a link to thereading logs click here (reminder, this is for your grade in the fall).

You can turn in completed logs the first week of school to your classroom teacher.

Join us on Wednesday, August 26 from 1:00-4:00 for our back to school event. During this event Michigamme students can receive a free haircut (provided by students at St. Clair TEC) and pick out a new outfit.

We will host our back to school Open House on Wednesday, September 2 from 5:00-6:30. During this event students can meet their teacher, drop off school supplies, and tour the building. To reduce congestion we have divided the time by grade level:

K-2 - 5:00-6:00pm

3-5 - 5:30-6:30pm

Please do not park in the drop off lane - we need to keep the flow of traffic moving safetly in the morning, parked cars make that difficult. If you want to walk your child to the door, please find a spot in the parking lot. We have Safety Patrol students ready to open car doors and escort students to their appropriate waiting place. See attached graphic for traffic flow patterns and drop-off zones.

Student Entry & Exit Locations

Door A - all bussers, 4th & 5th grades

Door E - Kinder & 1st grade

Door G - GSRP, 2nd & 3rd grade

Doors do not open until 8:15, students have from 8:15 to 8:25 to enter the building, get their breakfast, and unpack their bags in their classrooms. The parking lot is often empty by 8:18 a.m., and you can pull right up to drop off your student.

Please refrain from bringing pets to drop off or pick up your students - this is a safety concern for our students.

Menus - Check out the monthly breakfast and lunch menus here.

Teacher Emails - Consistent communication between home and school is important, here is a list of staff email

No Toy Zone - In an effort to reduce distractions, please refrain from sending your child to school with toys (Pokemon Cards, stuffies, etc.).

Transportation: Please visit our Bus Stop Locator for bus information.
