Students in Ms. Gustafson’s class worked together on a problem solving activity called Helping Harry this week. No contest, just working together to successfully build a perch for Harry.

Due to a power outage impacting some of our building sites, as well as phones, internet connection, and our kitchens, MISD will be dismissing early.

Marion High School will be dismissing immediately. Other buildings will be dismissing in the near future as soon as we get busses back on site.

More communication will follow shortly.

Parents who pick up their students are encouraged to come now. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
