Over the weekend, Marion Public Schools was notified that students attending our elementary and middle school are at risk of testing positive for COVID.
While we are waiting on guidance from the Central Michigan Health Department, and out of an abundance of caution, Marion Public Schools will be closed on Monday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 27, 2020. In following our established, internal protocols, we are using Monday and Tuesday in order to deep clean all district buildings and facilities and to conduct contact tracing. We hope to reopen on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. The next two days will be treated like snow days, with no instruction.
We will continue to update Marion families as we get more information.
All staff should report to the high school cafeteria on Monday, October 26, 2020 at 9:00 am to help with contact tracing.
Come out and support the Varsity Football Team Thursday night as they take on Bellaire in the first round of playoffs. Game time is 7:00pm. Tickets go on sale Monday for parents after 1:00pm through GoFan.co. The code and instructions for purchasing will be sent home with the players and cheerleaders Monday. Remaining tickets will be available for purchase without a code for the public through the GoFan.co website on Wednesday starting at 6:00pm. Tickets must be purchased before game time and presented to the ticket booth on a smart phone for validation before entering the game. #GoEagles
Marion will be hosting Bellaire in the first round of football playoffs later this week. Game and ticket information will be released soon! #GoEagles!
Reminder: Early release will begin this coming Wednesday, October 28th, 2020. The students of Marion Public Schools will be released at 11:20 am (high school) and 11:30 am (elementary). Lunch will be served.

Tues. Oct 27, come to the home volleyball game and you can purchase Eagle wear, water bottles AND Eagle Spirit Masks!!
Hey all you Eagle fans, stand up and clap your hands!
These super fans may have a hard time clapping, but they sure show some school spirit. Our MPACT students created them to represent some Eagle love for our volleyball teams. Join them at MHS home events; they’re saving you a seat. 😁♥️🦅 🏐
These lil kindergarten pumpkins were so excited about getting these Halloween pumpkins! There really ARE smiles behind those masks.
