Marked Tree School District

Here is your baseball and softball schedule this week! Conquer and Prevail.

Due to the threat of significant weather, MTSD will dismiss at 1:15 at the elementary school and 1:30 at the high school. Storm shelters will be open on both campuses by 2:30. You can enter the elementary storm shelter through the main entrance and enter the high school through the auditorium (the old entrance).

Parents, There is an enhanced risk of significant weather tomorrow. Currently, it looks like the weather will arrive around 3:00 when we are dismissing. Our concern is that around dismissal the entire community is on the move. This risk to our community causes us great concern. Therefore, our approach over the past few years has been to ensure that we dismiss early enough for kids and buses to get home or to hold buses if it didn’t appear significant weather would last too long after our regular dismissal. While we don’t know what the weather will bring tomorrow, we wanted to let you know that we will be watching the weather very closely and that we might need to adjust our day. As always, instruction will take place and we will take attendance. We do not want for you to keep you child home. However, we want to help make sure our entire community stays safe. Please have your phone around you tomorrow and check regularly on social media.

Spring Break is over and we are geared up and ready to go! We can’t wait to see the kids tomorrow. Here is what is happening this week at MTSD! Monday: Tuesday: Any Jr. who missed the ACT will take their makeup test. Wednesday: Thursday: Certain students will be taking the ACT WorkKeys assessment. Friday: Elementary students will wear Tribe colors. Upcoming: April 3rd- Report Cards April 7- Good Friday (No School) April 10- Professional Development (No School) April 22nd - Prom May 16 - Graduation We will start including our spring sports in the text next week. Have a great week!

Champs!

I know everyone is proud of our girls team. Due to a lot of hard work, that program has grown so much in the past few years. We are so proud of the players, coach, and all of their families. The pep bus is for students in grades 7-12. Students who want to ride the pep bus need to arrive at the high school at 3:30. The bus will load in front of the high school and leave at 4:00. It is about a three hour trip by bus. Tipoff is at 7:30. The cost to ride the bus is $5. This will cover admission. Students will need to bring money for concessions. The bus will be home around midnight or later. Please make sure someone will be available to pick students up promptly upon our return (at the high school). We ask that students dress in blue or gold to show support for our Indians.
