MCE Families,
The ongoing impact of COVID-19 in our region requires school districts to make decisions in the best interest of public health. After consultation with the Polk County Health Department and other area leaders, it was determined an extended school closure was necessary. The Marion C. Early R-V School District will be closed through Friday, April 24, 2020. This includes all extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.
We continue to understand that each family is impacted in unique ways by the extended school closure. We will continue to provide breakfast and lunch to our students in need. In an effort to limit staff exposure, we will move to a once a week delivery. All students who have signed up for breakfast and lunch will receive 4 days worth of food on Tuesdays. We will also continue our food partnership with Life 360 throughout the closure.
Teachers are working on additional enrichment activities. Details on the enrichment activities will be provided by the building principals when they become available.
Our priority during this difficult time is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Please know that we miss each of our students and are anxiously awaiting the day we can welcome them back.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these uncertain times.
Sincerely,
Dr. Josh Angel

"Just a reminder Paper 6 is due at the end of the day on Friday and that I will grade your essays this weekend.
You need to get started on Paper 7 next week. That means you will need to start it IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM on the Paper 7 assignment. If you have any questions about your topic for Paper 7, please contact me. I want to ensure that everyone has a good topic."
