This is National School Breakfast Week, so we're encouraging all of our students to take advantage of school breakfast!
From the MCPS Transportation Department: Due to issues from the recent hazardous weather, school buses will not be able to transport students on a section of Frogtown Rd. The affected section extends from the end of Arthur Mattingly Rd. to Loretto. Students on the other end of Frogtown Rd. will be transported.
For those affected, please plan on dropping students off at West Marion Elementary School by 7:30 a.m. to be transported to their schools. Students will also need to be picked up at West Marion Elementary in the afternoon.
The primary routes affected include bus #161 and bus #181.
Please help us share this important information with those who may be affected.
MCPS will continue to provide updates as they are available.
Due to ongoing issues related to the recent hazardous weather, there will be no school in Marion County tomorrow, Monday, March 6. This will not be an NTI day.
The school district chose not to use an NTI day because many families are still without power.
