From the Desk of the Superintendent We will be back in session on tomorrow February 23, 2021. We will resume face to face instruction. Buses will run. As we address learning loss, please send your students to school each day. The cafeteria will provide notification this week regarding last week’s and this week’s virtual meals. Please look for that announcement. School start at its regular time.

Office of the Superintendent We will continue Virtual Instruction on Monday February 22, 2021. All essential personnel will report to work at 9am. Teachers will work for home. We plan to have onsite instruction on Tuesday. Thank you so much for your support and understanding during these unprecedented times.

From the Office of the Superintendent As the winter storm continues, Marvell-Elaine School District will remain virtual for the reamainder of the week. We understand that they may be power outages as the week progresses and we will monitor and adjust. Parents make sure that students are engaging in their virtual learning activities. No student has a FREE day or no work to do. Please help us reduce the learning loss by keeping your students engaged. Our February board meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd at 7pm. We will broadcast via Facebook Live.

From the Office of the Superintendent We will have virtual instruction on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Students must attend via Google classsroom, Zoom, or Google meet. Please know virtual attendance of less than 70% could result in the district having to make up these days. These are not SNOW DAYS or INCLEMENT DAYS. These are virtual days and attendance is still being taken. We will make as early of an announcement as possible for the remainder of the week on Wednesday.

MESD will pivot to digital/virtual learning due to weather. We will be digital/virtual for Thursday and Friday. Remember that we are out of school Monday for Presidents' Day. Please stay safe.
