REMINDER: The Marion School District is hosting its next Community Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic from 12-3 p.m. Thursday (9/2) at Fidelity Bank Arena (Patriot Arena). The clinic is open to anyone in the community age 12 and up. First- and second-dose shots of the Pfizer vaccine will be given.
Thursday's vaccination clinic is being held in conjunction with Parent-Teacher Conferences, which are being held from 1-7 p.m. This is a great opportunity to visit with your child's teacher, then head over to the arena to get vaccinated.
Vaccination remains the leading public health prevention strategy to end the Covid-19 pandemic. With the rapid spread of the Delta variant, getting vaccinated is more important now than ever before. You can protect yourself, your family, and your friends from being infected. Students who are fully vaccinated will not have to quarantine, should they be exposed to an individual who tests positive for Covid-19
There is no charge. Parents must accompany anyone under age 16. Youths ages 16-17 do not need to have a parent present if they have a signed consent form (available at each school office).
The Marion School District is partnering with the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care, East Arkansas Family Health Center, and the Arkansas Department of Health to host vaccination clinics.

MARION SCHOOL DISTRICT COVID DAILY UPDATE
AUG 04, 2021
At the Marion School District, we are committed to the safety and wellness of our students and staff, and we are committed to being transparent about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our school community. To that end, we will be sharing Covid-19 updates with staff and our community on a regular basis.
For yesterday, Tuesday 8/3/21 our total number of positive cases was 15. Unfortunately, those 15 positive cases resulted in 312 quarantines. Again, if all students and teachers had been wearing a mask appropriately- then today's 15 positive cases would be isolated- but there would be no resulting quarantines for anyone else.
