Marlette Community Schools

At Marlette Community Schools, we're on an exciting journey to transform our facilities and elevate the learning experience for every student. Our commitment to excellence drives us to continually seek innovative ways to enhance our schools, support our dedicated teachers, and ensure the safety of our entire community. As part of our dynamic School Improvement and Strategic Plan, we are thrilled to focus on:

1️⃣ Whole Child Focus & Empowering Our Staff
We are enhancing student learning and providing our teachers with cutting-edge resources by upgrading our computer labs with state-of-the-art technology.

2️⃣ Safety First
To ensure the utmost safety for our students, staff, and community, we’re installing upgraded interior and exterior doors throughout our district.

3️⃣ Enhanced Community Experience
Get ready for even more memorable school events and gatherings! We're improving sound systems in our facilities to make concerts, meetings, and community events more engaging and enjoyable.

4️⃣ Transportation Innovations
We’re strengthening our transportation services by adding new concrete pads at the bus garage, ensuring safe and efficient operations.

Together, we are passionately investing in the future of our students and fortifying our schools for the entire Marlette community.

Here’s a glimpse of our updates and enhancements:
- Updating exterior doors at the elementary school
- Launching the Filter First Water Filtration project in both buildings
- Enhancing audio systems in the Elementary Gym, High School Gym, High School Cafeteria, and Athletic Complex
- Installing new flooring in the elementary teachers’ lounge, bathrooms, front entrance bathrooms, and water fountain areas
- Completing the bus garage cement pads
- Replacing computer equipment for improved learning
- Installing new bleachers at the elementary school
- Revamping parking lots at both buildings—painting parking spots, crosswalks, and handicap spaces
- New epoxy floors in the bathrooms at the elementary school

We are excited about this improvement journey to enrich the educational landscape and create a thriving environment for our students and the broader community.

Be on the lookout for all the details coming your way so you can help us reach our goal. We need your support, and you’ll love what’s coming! 

Thank you to our community for abiding by our drop-off request this morning at the Jr./Sr. High School. Things ran smoothly, and most importantly, we have an added layer of safety in place for our students.

REMINDER:
If you are dropping off or picking up a student, please use ONLY MORRIS STREET. This route allows your vehicle to be positioned with the passenger side facing the school, making it safer for students to get in and out of the vehicle in the designated loading zone.
Important Guidelines:
- During drop-off (7:30 AM to 8:15 AM) and pick-up (2:50 PM to 3:15 PM) times, vehicles should not remain parked longer than necessary for students to be safely dropped off or picked up.
- To ensure the safety of students and staff, please adhere to a speed limit of no more than 5 mph during these busy times.

🚨 Attention Marlette Community! 🚨
Click this link to read a letter from our Superintendent https://5il.co/3p1bg.

As we begin the 2025–26 school year, a pressing issue has arisen that could have a significant impact on our students and schools. The state budget deadline has come and gone with no agreement, and we need Marlette Community voices more than ever!

💔 Currently, one in 10 districts in Michigan has had to make cuts due to budget uncertainty. If lawmakers do not act soon, we risk missing crucial funding that supports our teachers, class sizes, and essential programs.

📅 Our first state aid payment is due on October 20, and without a budget, we could potentially lose $600,000 every month. We cannot let this happen.

➡️ Speak up! Contact State Representatives and urge them to prioritize K–12 education and protect the School Aid Fund. Our children deserve the education they need to thrive!

Together, we can make a difference! Let's advocate for a fully funded and stable school year for all our students.
