Reminders

Student Athletes: Parents of student athletes, your child needs to be present for the entirety of the day. If there is a medical appointment they have on the day of practice or a game, please make sure they bring a note from the provider, then they will be allowed to participate. If they miss more than 10 minutes of class, they are considered absent and are not allowed to practice or play that day. The middle school’s fax number is 231-829-3041.
Middle School Yearbook: If you would like to order a Middle School yearbook, contact Mrs. Draper at deanna.draper@pineriver.org or send cash in a envelope with yearbook, students name, and grade on it to the office. Yearbooks are $15. The deadline to order is January 24, 2025.

Middle School Grief Peer Support Group: We have an opportunity available for Pine River Middle School Students who have experienced the death of a loved one to participate in a peer grief support group. The group will be run by Michael’s Place, an organization that specializes in the grief process. Please contact Mrs. Gullekson (amyo.gullekson@pineriver.org) or the middle school office if you are interested. Weekly sessions (4-8 sessions) will be held in school, during school hours, and are free to students. Parent/guardian consent is required. Students who have lost a family member or close friends at some point in their lives are encouraged to attend, even if they are handling it well. A number of students in our school have experienced loss. Having a safe place to review the grief process (which changes as we develop throughout life) is important.
