Remember beginning tomorrow, Monday, November 2, 2020, MSD will shift to a 2:00 p.m. daily release time for all K-12 students. This will provide time daily from 2:00-3:30, for teachers and staff to work on planning and preparation to better support virtual and quarantined students. This schedule change will remain in effect until the end of the 2nd 9 weeks, at which time its effectiveness will be evaluated.
Thank you for your continued support of the Marion School District.

First grade at VPA will be closed for face to face instruction for a total of 5 days, beginning Friday, October 30th, and running through Thursday, November 5th. Face to face instruction in 1st grade at VPA will resume on Friday, November 6. This closure is due to 1 positive Covid-19 test which resulted in the quarantining of all 1st grade teachers at VPA. Unfortunately, we do not have enough substitute teachers/extra personnel to provide the supervision that is necessary to allow 1st grade students to attend during this time that all 1st grade teachers are required to be out.
VPA will remain open and all other grades will continue to offer face to face instruction following the normal school schedule. We will be reaching out to the families of 1st grade students impacted and informing them of ways they can receive meals from the district during this time.
Thank you for your continued support of the Marion School District.
Don't forget!
