Healthier School Environment Program

Phelps Middle School has been chosen to participate in the Healthier School Environment program funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Michigan Dairy council. Throughout this academic school year we will be sponsoring various activities and programs to encourage students to make healthy choices in their daily diet and activities. Each month we will be providing different recipes to inspire healthy eating choices.

This month we are focusing on “Celebrate Breakfast”. Did you know?:

• A morning meal helps assure optimal development and growth.

• A balanced breakfast supports improved alertness, attention, and academic performance.

• A regular breakfast habit may decrease the risk of being overweight.

• Include a good source of protein for a more satisfying, long-lasting, and nutritionally balanced breakfast rather than an all-carbohydrate meal.

Here are some recipes that may help us celebrate a healthier life.

Winter Season Announcement

With the winter season here, it is important that parents make plans in the event that school is canceled due to inclement weather.  In the event of school being cancelled early in the morning, announcements will be made on radio stations WJPD, WZAM, WKQS, WMJT, WNMU, WFXD, WGLQ, WLUC TV-6 and WBKP TV-10.  Every effort will be made to make such an announcement prior to 6:30 a.m.  The announcement will be posted on the District website at www.ishpemingschools.com and the Mining Journal website at www.miningjournal.net .

It is also possible that, in the event of severe weather moving into the area, students could be dismissed after the school day has begun.  In such an event, radio and television announcements will be made.  It is very important that you plan ahead in the event of an early dismissal.  If you are generally not home during the day when school is in session, please make arrangements for someone to be at your home in the event of an early dismissal or arrange for your child to go to another home.  It is important that parents make these arrangements prior to the time that they may actually be needed.

If you have questions regarding where your child may go in the event of an early dismissal, you may contact Principal Veale, Principal Willey, or Principal Sarvello for assistance or direction.  If you have questions with regard to cancellation or early dismissal procedures, please feel free to contact Superintendent Stephen Piereson at your convenience.
