Students in Kelsey Larsen's sixth grade reading class complete a gallery walk to help build their background knowledge before starting a new novel.
Background information helps to build learning and understanding for students. Research shows that readers are able to make more connections and find texts more relative to their own lives if they have a better context for learning.
Tuesday’s girls’ basketball game vs Little Rock Hall has been cancelled. There is no change for the boys’ contest vs Little Rock Hall at this time. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 pm on November 10th at Marion’s Patriot Arena, on the campus of Marion Junior High.
Patriot passes will be accepted for entry, and tickets will be sold at the gate ($5 each). Student IDs will not be accepted.
Teachers in Marion Magnet Schools are living the Science of Reading way of life!
Experiences at RISE training are helping our teachers aid their students to understand the importance of morphology and etymology. Our students are realizing how many of our words across all content areas are related - this helps deepen their understanding, connect their learning, and impove their ability to decode!
Keep being awesome, Marion teachers!

Remember beginning tomorrow, Monday, November 2, 2020, MSD will shift to a 2:00 p.m. daily release time for all K-12 students. This will provide time daily from 2:00-3:30, for teachers and staff to work on planning and preparation to better support virtual and quarantined students. This schedule change will remain in effect until the end of the 2nd 9 weeks, at which time its effectiveness will be evaluated.
Thank you for your continued support of the Marion School District.

First grade at VPA will be closed for face to face instruction for a total of 5 days, beginning Friday, October 30th, and running through Thursday, November 5th. Face to face instruction in 1st grade at VPA will resume on Friday, November 6. This closure is due to 1 positive Covid-19 test which resulted in the quarantining of all 1st grade teachers at VPA. Unfortunately, we do not have enough substitute teachers/extra personnel to provide the supervision that is necessary to allow 1st grade students to attend during this time that all 1st grade teachers are required to be out.
VPA will remain open and all other grades will continue to offer face to face instruction following the normal school schedule. We will be reaching out to the families of 1st grade students impacted and informing them of ways they can receive meals from the district during this time.
Thank you for your continued support of the Marion School District.
Don't forget!
