MSD Families,
As we persevere through the winter months, we want to remind everyone of our procedure for adjusting the school schedule in the event of inclement weather.
At all times, any decision about when to close schools, dismiss early, or start late will be made with the highest regard for the safety of our students and staff. When decisions are made, families will be notified promptly via robocall, text message, Facebook, and notifications on the WMC, WREG, and ABC24 television stations.
We also urge families to remember that the Marion School District spans a large geographic area with a wide variety of highways, city streets, and rural roads. Weather and road conditions often vary widely from one end of the district to the other. While travel may be safe in some areas, it might remain hazardous in others.
The Marion School District proudly exceeds the state minimum school day requirement daily. The extra minutes in session each day accumulate and over time allow for a minimum number of days to be missed -- without the requirement to make up the time. However, in the event that days must be made up, the following makeup days have been designated (to be used in order, if possible): Feb. 13, Feb. 17, April 21, May 23, March 31.
