Enjoy your long weekend and stay safe!
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.
Let's "Rock out the Wildcats" on Friday, Sept. 1st. Students are encouraged to dress in their best "Rock" attire. Students will be allowed wear hats for $1. Proceeds will go to support PHS Cheer.
Come out and support the She Bears. Students get in free. Wear white and help us "whiteout" the Tigers.
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.
Come out and support the She Bears today as they begin the 2023 season.
💉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. 💉
PHS is alive and kicking with tons of direct instruction in classrooms today. Nothing replaces the actions of a great teacher in front of students on a consistent basis. #GoBears
Senior Ads for the football program have been extended through August 16th. Forms may be picked up in the PHS office.
PHS is the proud recipient of a $1000 Power To Play grant for Theater from the Alabama Power Foundation.
We are looking for substitute bus drivers!
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.
Reminder!!! Registration, schedules, lockers, parking, and school supply pick up at the designated times below. First day of school August 9th.
Come out and help support PHS athletics and students today. 11:00-2:00 in front of the school.
