Yesterday at Marion Elementary, everyone wore PJs to school like they were sneaking out for the night before Halloween. Mrs. Quist and Mr. Henderson took the opportunity to show their preference for today’s college football game. 😁 🏈
Happy Halloween!
Marion Jr./Sr. High School report cards were mailed home yesterday. Please contact your child's teachers with any concerns.
Don’t FORGET!
7-12 grades, wear your costume, pay a buck, win a prize tomorrow at MHS. Your 1st hr. teacher will collect your dollar and your name. Double entry if your PPE mask is part of the costume—these must be worn by all!
Good Luck and Happy Hauntings!

Update on COVID cases: Contact tracing has been completed and sent to the Central Michigan Health Department. The health department will contact you directly if your child has been in contact with the student; you will get further directions from them on the next steps to take. Thank you for your patience during this matter.
All practices have been cancelled for today. Stay tuned for an update regarding tomorrow's practices.
Schedule Change: Breakfast and lunch pick up for virtual students will be Wednesday, 10:00-10:45am at both the elementary and high school buildings for this week only.
Over the weekend, Marion Public Schools was notified that students attending our elementary and middle school are at risk of testing positive for COVID.
While we are waiting on guidance from the Central Michigan Health Department, and out of an abundance of caution, Marion Public Schools will be closed on Monday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 27, 2020. In following our established, internal protocols, we are using Monday and Tuesday in order to deep clean all district buildings and facilities and to conduct contact tracing. We hope to reopen on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. The next two days will be treated like snow days, with no instruction.
We will continue to update Marion families as we get more information.
All staff should report to the high school cafeteria on Monday, October 26, 2020 at 9:00 am to help with contact tracing.
