4th, 5th, & 6th Grade *Updated* Flag Football Game Schedule
ATTN FLAG FOOTBALL PARENTS: PRACTICE WILL BE DONE AT 4:30 P.M. TODAY. THANK YOU!
Starting on Monday, September 18th there will be a road closure on M-48 between Fairview Rd and Hanna Rd. During this closure some bussing times for Mr. Crimin's route will change. Please expect a call from Mr. Crimin if your pick up time will be changed.
Detour information from the Chippewa County Road Commission: The official posted detour route has been designed for commercial trucking: southbound truck traffic should use M-129 to M-134 OR the Gogomain Road around to M-48 in Goetzville, while west or northbound truck traffic coming from the Drummond/Detour area should stay on M-134. This is a long detour (approx. 30 miles) and as such, we do anticipate that locals will be creative finding other ways to avoid this closure, most likely via Sand Ridge/26 Mile or the Swede Road through Mackinac County.

Hi from the newest Pickford elementary teacher, Elizabeth Nelson!
I am very excited to be teaching 5th grade this year alongside Mrs. Brood. You may know me from being a Panther parent, seeing me as a substitute teacher, or at a PTA meeting. Prior to living in Pickford, I taught first grade in Dearborn Heights and English Language Learners in the Grand Rapids area. I attended Michigan State University for my Elementary Education degree and Purdue Calumet University for my Masters in Education Administration. In Pickford, I have spent my time forming a community for moms through MOPS/MOMS next. I love to enjoy family time, read and dance as much as I can. I’m looking forward to serving the community through this new role.
Go Panthers!
Hello Panthers,
I am James Norman, the new High School Social Studies and World History teacher. I am a graduate of Calvin University, where I earned my bachelor's degree in History and Social Studies Secondary Education. History has always been to me one of the most beautiful ways to see the world and I am excited to share that experience with students in the coming years. I am also an avid choral singer. Between singing and university I have had the good fortune of doing some world travel, including singing the mass in the St. Peter's Basilica, living in Budapest, Hungary for a semester, and going to the tallest waterfall in Croatia, as pictured here. Already I have loved getting to know these students; sharing stories about Dungeons and Dragons, PC gaming and history Youtubers.
Thank you all for the support and warm welcome I have received.
Friendly Reminder: Today, September 8th is a 1/2 day of school. All students will be dismissed at 12 Noon. Have a great weekend.
