In-Person Instruction will begin on January 19, 2021 according to student’s cohort at individual schools and dependent on the WV DHHR Map for Marion County.

The second semester will begin on January 21, 2021.

  • Marion County Schools will operate on the two-day blended model upon return January 19 and continue on that model until further notification.  Marion County Schools utilized this same model the first semester.
  • Individual schools are completing their own registration for the second semester regarding blended, distance or West Virginia Virtual School.   Please contact your respective schools for information regarding registration.
Please understand:
    1. Students who register for distance learning cannot switch until the end of the third nine weeks.
    2. Students who register for blended learning may choose later to go to the distance learning model but must then stay there until the end of the third nine weeks. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
    3. Students registered for the West Virginia Virtual School must remain there for the semester unless notified by the individual school in relation to Marion County Virtual School Policy 2370.01.
