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 want to give a big Thank You to Libby Barlow and the MC Retired Teachers Association for their recent donation to our Family Resource and Youth Service Center program!
This Saturday's football game vs. Fleming Co. has been cancelled. Those who purchased tickets online should receive a refund from GOFAN credited to you within 24-48 hours.
Homecoming has been rescheduled for the Nov. 6 game vs. Louisville Moore.
Friday, October 23 will be an NTI day for Marion County Public Schools. Students will work on assignments from home, and teachers will be available by email if you have questions.
This Friday's home football game vs. Moore HS has been moved to Saturday, Oct. 24 with a 6pm kickoff. This change is due to a lack of officials in our area available for Friday night. This will still be our homecoming night.

Yesterday, October 15, the MCHS SMILE Club had its first club retreat of the year. We started with a great meal provided by Mrs. Schlosser and got to catch back up with everyone. 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!!
