Marked Tree School District will not have school on Friday, February 25th. Students should complete AMI packets. If you don't have power and your family needs a place to stay warm, please call (870) 375-2266 before 9:00 p.m.
There is a chance that freezing rain moves into our area around 1:30. We are really close to the rain/freezing rain line. As your progress from 1:30 on, radar indicates that Marked Tree will be receiving some type of precipition. Safety has to be our number one concern as it pertains to our kids.
An early dismissal gives us an opportunity to get our kids home safely. In an effort to do so, Marked Tree School District will dismiss at 1:15.
Parents, please know that we are closely monitoring the weather. The possibility of an early dismissal is increasing. Please make sure you have a plan in place if we need to dismiss early due to weather.
If you plan on attending the regional tournament to support our basketball teams, you MUST order tickets online at the following website:
