Parents of virtual students: You will be receiving a text and/or email asking you to take a very important survey.

We ask that you complete the survey by Monday, March 29, 2021, at noon.
The Marion School District wants to ensure that every student has access to healthy meals during Spring Break.

This distribution will be split over three days, Wednesday, March 17, through Friday, March 19, and will include several 8-ounce milk cartons each day. All items will meet USDA nutritional guidelines. Special thanks to our Child Nutrition Team for making this possible!
