Marked Tree School District

Indian families, There will be no school on Friday, January 10th. By announcing now, we hope to give you the time needed to make alternate plans for your student. At this time, it appears an early dismissal isn't needed today. As far as make-up days, we build extra minutes into each day. These extra minutes will allow us to have a few snow days without making up missed time! Don’t forget to bundle up and stay safe if you head outside. Take lots of pictures and be ready to share them with us tomorrow! Stay warm, stay safe, and have fun!

Good afternoon! We are testing to make sure teachers get text communication. If you are with someone who didn't get this text, please have them tell their administrator.

Parents, Prior to Thanksgiving break, we sent home forms for children who are not quite up to date on their immunizations. If your student plans to participate in the free clinic with ASU/NYIT Medical School on our campus Tuesday, December 17, please return their immunization forms tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to ensure your child stays up-to-date on important vaccinations.
