As part of our ongoing efforts to provide a wide variety of enhanced and blended learning opportunities to our families during this extended school closure, Marion Community Schools is offering paper learning packets for pick-up.
Packets will be available for students in preschool through grade 8. (Packets will also be available digitally from the links below and on our Technology Resources page, but for those who prefer hard copies, we are making them available.)
Marion Community Schools social workers are collecting information and resources to help you during this difficult time! We are all working together to stay connected while we are apart.

Marion Giant families,
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has ordered all schools to be closed for the rest of the school year to fight the global coronavirus pandemic. Together, let’s all do our part and make a difference in this important fight!
Spectrum is offering 60 days of free home internet service to Marion residents.
To qualify, you must live in an area that Spectrum supports, you must not have an internet connection through Spectrum and you must have a student living in your household.
Due to continued uncertainty and concern surrounding coronavirus / COVID-19, Marion Community Schools has decided to cancel our annual Kindness Rally that had been set for April 3.
The monetary costs associated with waiting any longer to make this decision, with deposits for rented equipment due soon, was one of the factors in our decision in making this announcement now.

Because of the school closure on Feb. 27, 2020, due to poor road conditions caused by snow and ice, a make-up day will be added to the end of the school year.
The last student day is now set for May 26, 2020. (May 25 is Memorial Day, so there will be no school that day.)
(This is the third closure of the year; the first coming on Nov. 19, 2019, for the Red for Public Ed rally, and the second on Feb. 6, 2020 due to weather and road conditions.)
Little Giants Preschool open enrollment applications will start on March 2.
