Marion County Schools (MCS) has worked closely with the Marion County Health Department (MCHD) to provide COVID vaccine opportunities for your child. MCS will not be offering clinics. If you wish for your student, age 5 and over, to receive the COVID vaccine the MCHD has opened a link for you to schedule a time that is best for you. You are not obligated to use this clinic option, as there are many local physicians and pharmacies offering the vaccine as well.
You may register your child using the following link:

Students are bringing home their fundraiser packets. This is our first one in two years so we're hoping for a good effort. The representative was not able to make it today. You will find videos about prizes, setting up an online store versus paying in person, and a link to our brochure. Those will be posted in separate links. We are doing the Funraising brochure. Students will also have the chance to win a cash prize if they sell over 30 items by jumping across a table with $1 amounts on it. If they sell 40 items they get triple the amount they land on. If they sell 50 they get 4 times the amount they land on. The correct Group ID is the one on the back of the online store form: L28BH
