Please go to the elementary storm shelter if you need to take cover. The high school is closed.

The storm shelter at Marked Tree High School will open today at 4:30 PM as we monitor the threat of severe weather.Please help us keep the shelter safe and comfortable by following these important guidelines: No pets allowed Children must remain with a parent or guardian at all times No weapons, alcohol, drugs, smoking, or vaping Silence phones and limit calls; use headphones if needed Please follow all instructions from emergency personnel or shelter supervisors If you're asked to move, shift, or assist — it’s for safety reasons Remain inside until the official all-clear is given See you in about 45 minutes!

Due to the increased threat of severe weather, all Marked Tree Schools will dismiss early today at 1:30 PM. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families as the most dangerous part of the storm system moves into our area this afternoon. Please make arrangements for early pickup if your child is a car rider. Buses will run immediately following dismissal. The storm shelter at the high school today will open, first. We will notify you via social media and text messages when we are open. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. As always, the safety of our students is our top priority. Stay safe, and thank you for your continued support.
