By now many of you have learned that this afternoon the Governor announced the extension of school closings in Arkansas through Friday, April 17. This extension brings with it a long list of questions that we hope to be providing answers for as further direction comes from the Governor and his staff.
What we do know-
1) Following Spring Break our buildings will be open on an abbreviated schedule for our faculty and staff.
2) We will be distributing the second 5 days of AMI by the end of the day tomorrow- which provides for March 30- April 3.
3) A schedule for instruction for April 6 forward will be developed and distributed as further direction is provided by the State.
4) We plan to continue our feeding program weekdays, including Spring Break, from now until school resumes. A revised distribution plan will begin on Monday, March 23, and will be shared tomorrow.
More to come…Please continue to monitor the district's website and other media outlets for up-to-date information.

Important update from the Marion School District:
There have been significant changes in guidance to schools today regarding
COVID-19. As of now, schools in 4 central Arkansas counties have been
directed to close due to new presumptive positive cases and direct contact
by others with those who have tested positive. The decision to close was
made out of an abundance of caution.
School closure decisions will be made in consultation with the Arkansas
Department of Health (ADH) and Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). The
two agencies will work jointly to provide guidance to districts based on
developments in local communities. The ADH and ADE have established a
dedicated hotline for districts to call to discuss whether preemptive
closures are advised.
We will continue to update you as new information is available.

Every year March is designated Women’s History Month by Presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history. The National Women’s History Alliance selects and publishes the yearly theme. The 2020 Women’s History Month theme is “Valiant Women of the Vote.” The theme honors "the brave women who fought to win suffrage rights for women, and for the women who continue to fight for the voting rights of others."
