There will be no after school tomorrow. There will also be no school on Friday in observance of Veteran's Day.


Tomorrow will be our fall festival during school hours. Students will visit various festival activities with their teachers throughout the day. Students will receive a hot dog, chips, and a drink with festival payment. Additional concessions will be available for purchase if you wish to send additional money. We will also still visit the lunchroom during lunch time. Students may wear a costume to school tomorrow. Masks will not be allowed except briefly for the costume contest first thing in the morning.
Our after school program will still be on for tomorrow afternoon as well.

September has officially been designated as School Attendance Awareness Month
2023. During this special event in our state and nation, real emphasis is being placed
on building greater student engagement, public awareness, and family support for
school attendance efforts.


A Message from Superintendent Ann West:
Due to the excessive heat forecast for the next few days, please help your child avoid dehydration by having them drink plenty of water.


💉Flu shots will be available to all Marion County students (except those with PEEHIP BCBS) on September 12th. Consent forms will be sent home soon. Please return them to your school nurse if you would like for your student to receive the flu vaccine. 💉


We hope our little Bears 🐻 had a great first day back at school!
Here are a few reminders.
Please return enrollment packets back as soon as possible! It's very important that we have all information to best take care of your children.
Afternoon dismissal: Grades 1-2 should be picked up at the front of the main building. Kindergarten and grades 3-6 should be picked up in front of the "new" building by the elementary gym. If 1st or 2nd graders have a sibling in the other grades, they may all be picked up together at the "new" building.
Thank you parents for bearing with us this afternoon during dismissal!

Great news for the coming school year!!! Marion County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Program. The CEP program is a PILOT program for the 23-24 school year that allows all enrolled students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost! CEP is based on the overall economic status of our regional area. NO free or reduced applications will be needed from parents this school year. No action is required by parents for students to eat free. Please note the first complete meal is free, however extra plates or items must be purchased. All visiting children, adults, and employees will be required to pay for meals. www.paypams.com is still available for anyone that wishes to add money to his or her child(ren)'s accounts. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.


Here are a few tips to get you back into a school routine!


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.
