Hello, the school opened up a Mairon Bears store for staff and we wanted to open it up to the community just in case anyone was interested in purchasing some items. You're welcome to check things out at: https://cfpromo.chipply.com/marionstaff/ - It's currently open for a little over 3 more days but I am working to possibly have the time extended 2 additional days.

Dear Marion School Families,
I hope this message finds you well. As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I wanted to inform you about important updates regarding student registration at Marion School.
Next week, you can expect to receive a student registration packet in a manila envelope from the school. Please keep an eye out for this package.
We have made a few changes to the registration process this year to improve efficiency. All permissions will now be consolidated onto a single paper. Additionally, it is mandatory for all parents to fill out the "Parent Portal" form. This form is essential as it will grant you access to your child's report cards through Infinite Campus, excluding preschool, junior kindergarten, and kindergarten.
Furthermore, free and reduced lunch applications, along with special diet forms, will be available at the food service table. We kindly request that all families stop by this table during open house.
Speaking of which, we are excited to invite you to our open house on August 7th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to bring your completed student registration packets. Student pictures will also be taken during this time. A meal will be served at 5:00pm to 6:30pm in the courts area.
Follow the link, please, you will find order forms for your convenience.( https://5il.co/2s3me ) Additionally, forms will be available at the picture-taking location, in the band room.
Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Amanda at 605-648-3615 ext. 0.
We are excited for the return of your children to Marion School and look forward to a successful academic year ahead!
