Coming up next week!
The Hackleburg Elementary after school program is cancelled for tomorrow, Tuesday, October 4th.
There are simply no words that we can have to comfort our dear friend Mary Kennedy and her two children. If we had to choose two, it would be love and prayers. Mrs. Kennedy, please know your entire Marion County Schools family extends our love and prayers during this difficult time.
REMINDER: Monday, September 12th, is a Teacher Workday. There is no school for students on that day. Have a wonderful and safe long weekend!
Marion County Schools are proud of our very own Ann West for being named District 7 Superintendent of the Year, and she is a finalist for Alabama Superintendent of the Year. We appreciate the leadership of Mrs. West and how she represents Marion County on the district and state level.
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Starting September 7th, students who have perfect attendance (no checkouts, tardies, or absences) from 9/7 through 9/30 will be entered into a drawing at each school to win $100!!!

Montgomery, Ala. – To provide all-inclusive support for the Alabama Course of Study:
Mathematics Grades 6-8, the Alabama Department of Education now offers free access to Math Nation powered by Accelerate Learning.
The online and print learning resources for grades 6-8 are available at no cost to Alabama public schools thanks to funding from the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI). This is the Alabama Department of Education’s initiative to improve math and science teaching statewide.
Through AMSTI’s innovative partnership with Math Nation, Alabama students, teachers, and families can access Math Nation’s resources for 6-8th Grade Math from the web, tablets, and smartphones 24 hours a day. Math Nation helps students master math skills with individualized instruction from dynamic content videos led by “Study Experts” — and students can choose the Study Expert who best fits their learning style. Using the Math Nation mobile app, students can also download videos and view them offline later when they may not have internet access. In addition to the videos, Math Nation resources include personalized remediation tools, digital practice tools, homework help and virtual tutoring, a professional learning community and resources for teachers, and family support videos. A limited supply of printed student workbooks are available as well. “Equity — ensuring learning opportunities for all — is a core AMSTI belief,” said AMSTI Director Dr. Sandy Ledwell. “Through this $6 million partnership, Math Nation will provide print and online resources for grades 6-8 Math in the 2022-2023 school year. In the 2023-2024 school year it will add even more resources to support Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Our partnership with Math Nation ensures that every student in those courses can engage in grade-level, standards-aligned practice to build their knowledge, skills, and confidence in math, anytime and anywhere.”

Hackleburg Elementary School Principal, Mary Kennedy, wowed the audience during our 2022 Countywide Teacher Inservice. She reminded everyone that many of our students bring much more to school in their “backpacks,” (chains of anxiety, abuse, neglect, hunger, etc.) and we should be mindful of these things as we teach them. Excellent job, Mrs. Kennedy!
Important Reminder:
Hackleburg Elementary School Principal, Mary Kennedy, had a special celebration for her teachers Monday as they celebrate being chosen as an ARI Spotlight of Reading School.
Welcome back to school! We would like to thank all of our law enforcement throughout the county for helping our students arrive safely every day!
School will resume for Marion County students tomorrow, August 9th, and motorists will be sharing the road with school buses once again. Please allow additional time in your daily commute to accommodate more traffic, including buses, on the roadways. Our Transportation Department operates with our children’s safety as its number one priority. Please help them keep our children safe by keeping a watchful eye for school buses and being mindful of the law which pertains to them.
Just a reminder that all students entering 6th grade are required to have an up-to-date immunization record on file. Sixth grade students will need the TDaP booster. Please call your physician, health department, or pharmacy for assistance.
