It's National Assistant Principal's Week!
Assistant principals are the unsung heroes of our education system. They work tirelessly to support teachers, motivate students, and create a positive learning environment. We are so grateful for Mr. Martinson's dedication and commitment to our school.
Here are just a few of the things that assistant principals do:
They provide guidance and support to teachers.
They help to develop and implement school policies.
They work with students to resolve conflicts and address behavioral issues.
They oversee the safety and security of the school.
Assistant principals play a vital role in the success of our schools. They are essential to creating a positive learning environment where all students can thrive.
Thank you, Mr. Martinson, for your hard work and dedication. We appreciate you!

LOCAL HOST FAMILIES NEEDED for International Exchange Students

Deb Swartz of Saxon is a Local Community Coordinator that provides support for every placement with minimum monthly contact, and more often if needed. We also have a 24 hour student services hotline should any emergencies arise.
Here's a list of some of the countries our students are coming from: Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, Japan,Thailand, Vietnam, Guadeloupe, Czech Republic, Brazil, and Mongolia.
We are currently accepting applications for host families in Ironwood and surrounding areas of the U.P. and northern Wisconsin.
