A few reminders:
The next re-entry date for students enrolled in Distance-Learning to transition to In-Person learning is November 4. Students who are enrolled in In-Person learning can move to Distance-Learning at any time. However, we do ask that you communicate with your child's school ahead of time.
You can view our COVID-19 communications page here: https://www.marion.kyschools.us/page/covid-19-messaging
This page includes all of our parent communications regarding COVID-19 and also provides a snapshot of the confirmed cases we've had in MCPS. This does not include students or staff who have quarantined that are considered close contacts, only confirmed cases.
Finally, tomorrow's NTI day will give us a chance for a thorough cleaning of our buildings, and we hope everyone continues to observe healthy practices at home.

We got to know our new members and brainstormed new fun and exciting ideas for this school year. We even got to zoom call with the new SMILE club at Glasscock Elementary! We’re so excited for this year!!
