WDTV of Bridgeport is going to film each classroom at White Hall Elementary saying the Pledge of Allegiance and then air it on WDTV Daybreak at a later date. This is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 8,2022. We already have a list of students that can and can't be photographed or videoed---if you have any objections to your child participating in this activity, please notify your child's teacher prior to Tuesday morning. Thank you! I will let you know when they are suppose to air the recording so that you can try to catch it.

Wishing all of our Wildcat families a safe, happy, fun and healthy holiday break! Can't wait to see you back in the new year!

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.

The MC BOE recently accepted a resolution to recognize MCS as a Purple Heart District. Many WVs are veterans of the Unites States armed forces and have families with children attending school. During times when these families relocate to meet duty requirements or experience the absence of a loved one while on deployment, MCS has an opportunity to meet the unique needs of these children. The Purple Star Award is designed to recognize schools that create a military-friendly environment and make a special commitment to supporting the resilience of military connected children.
