Marion County Public Schools will hold kindergarten registration Friday, January 31 from 9:00-4:00 at each of the district’s four elementary schools.
Parents of children who plan to enroll in MCPS kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year are asked to bring their child to the registration event along with their child’s birth certificate, immunization records, physical exam, dental exam, eye exam and proof of residency (for example, a utility bill). No appointment is necessary.
The event will include a kindergarten-readiness screening.
Kindergarten is open for children who will be five years old on or before August 1, 2025.
Parents should attend registration at the school where their child will enroll. If parents are unsure which elementary school their child will attend, they can view the district’s elementary school boundary lines (https://5il.co/2nt5q) or contact the MCPS central office at (270) 692-3721.

With that in mind, tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22, will be NTI Day 3 in Marion County. Students will learn from home and teachers will be available to answer questions. Contact your child’s school if you have questions about NTI assignments. Most importantly, please stay safe and warm.

We want to give a huge Thank You to the road department crews who have done such an incredible job making sure the roadways throughout the county were safe for travel!
We also want to thank our families for their patience today as we used our Plan B bus routes. While not all bus riders are affected, these alternate routes allow our drivers to avoid some potentially unsafe areas -- especially turnaround spots that might be especially tricky.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14, our Transportation department will return to the normal bus routes. However, there could be a few stops that are still difficult to manage. Families will be contacted directly by someone from our Transportation department if there are any adjustments to pick-up or drop-off locations.
Schools in Marion County will operate on a one-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, January 13. The district’s transportation department will be using the Plan B bus routes. You can access the Plan B routes document by following this link: https://5il.co/l9by
