Marion Junior High School

Hello Patriots! To clarify any potential misunderstandings regarding MSD device distributions, devices were given to MSD students whose original survey data indicated the need for a school-issued device to support virtual learning. Unfortunately, with our last round of distribution we have exhausted our supply of devices available for student use. Marion School District, like thousands of school districts across the country, are awaiting the arrival of more than $600,000 worth of new devices. Upon arrival of the additional devices, parents of students who remain on the waiting list will be notified for pick-up. Please note that in the interim a cell phone can be used to access both Seesaw and Google Classroom learning platforms. If you have not yet registered and would like to be added to the device waiting list- please click here --> https://forms.gle/j9tgFcb8VDFDELfh7 Thank you for your continued support. GO PATRIOTS!

Hello Patriots! COVID 19 has brought many changes to this school year. One such change is the way we host athletic events. The district must follow all guidelines and mandates set by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Activities Association. Following these guidelines limits the total number of spectators allowed in each venue. The district has set the following standards for Home High School Varsity football games. Each student athlete, band member, and cheerleader will be allowed to purchase two tickets. All Tickets will be sold prior to the event. AAA passes will be allowed until event maximum capacity is reached. Patriot Passes will be allowed for admittance until event maximum capacity is reached. No school ID passes will be allowed for admittance. Seating is clearly marked by family groups, maintaining six feet of social distance. Volleyball / Junior High Football Game events Tickets will be sold at Patriot Arena / Patriot Stadium until the COVID 19 capacity is reached. The district may choose to pre-sell tickets for some game nights. AAA passes will be allowed until event maximum capacity is reached. School ID passes will be allowed for admittance until event capacity is reached. Patriot Passes will be allowed for admittance until event capacity is reached. Seating is clearly marked by family groups, maintaining six feet of social distance. Derek Harrell Athletic Director Marion School District Office 870-739-5100 Fax 870-739-5156 dharrell@msd3.org
