Online Registration is now open for the 2024-2025 school year. Families can complete Online Registration by logging in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal (https://kyede8.infinitecampus.org/.../parents/marion.jsp) or by using the Infinite Campus app on your mobile device.
If you have questions, contact your child's school or send your question by email to: [email protected]
Families who are new to Marion County Public Schools should contact their child's school to schedule a time to complete registration in-person. If you're unsure which school your child will attend, contact the MCPS central office at (270) 692-3721.

Students and staff will get a trial run for the upcoming school year on August 2 when MCPS hosts a district-wide Transition Day.
The modified school day is intended to allow students to experience a school day, learn important practices and procedures, and have fun during the process.
Transition Day will begin at normal school time, but will release at 1:00 pm.
MCPS will provide transportation, although families may opt to drop-off and pick-up students. Please make sure your child knows how they will be transported in the afternoon (bus or parent pick-up); if you'd like your child dropped off at a different address in the afternoon, please send a note. Parents can contact the MCPS bus garage for questions about transportation: (270) 692-4150.
Students will also receive breakfast and lunch while at school on Transition Day.
While attendance is not required, we certainly hope families take advantage of Transition Day as a way to get students -- especially those who are transitioning to a new building -- acclimated to their schools for the upcoming year.

For this week's bulk meal distribution (Wednesday, July 24; 2:30-5:30 pm), we're asking families to enter campus on Knights Way next to the Board of Education building. With an on-going construction project at Glasscock Elementary School, this change will make sure there are no issues navigating through campus.

Our weekly meal distribution resumes tomorrow, Wednesday, July 10 from 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm. Please enter campus at Glasscock Elementary. We may need to adjust the route through campus depending on the number of vehicles. Meal bundles are available for all children ages 1 - 18.

If you have a student in grades 6-12 interested in joining the MCPS band program, make sure you attend an informational meeting for parents and students Monday, July 8 at 6:00 pm at Marion County High School.

This meeting is for both returning band members and those who think they might be interested in joining.

Reminder: The MCPS School Nutrition Department will be handing out free meal bundles for children ages 1- 18 at Marion County Knight Academy tomorrow (Wednesday, June 19) from 2:30-5:30. Meal bundles are distributed on a first come, first served basis. This week, those who plan on picking up meals should enter our campus at Glasscock Elementary School. We've also made some changes at the distribution location, which we think will make for a better experience for those picking up meals. However, please be aware that large trucks will also be using Patriot Dr. as they deliver loads of dirt to be used on a future project. This should not interfere with our meal distribution, but we may need to hold traffic at times to allow these trucks access their delivery area.

Our next bulk meal distribution for children ages 1 - 18 is Wednesday, June 19 from 2:30-5:30 at Marion County Knight Academy. We've made a few adjustments from last week which we hope provides a better experience for those picking up meals. First the pick-up route will now begin at Glasscock Elementary -- please follow the route on our updated map. Also, you will not need to provide demographic information when picking up meals. At the distribution site, we intend to have two pick-up spots available to speed up the process.
Finally, please be aware that there will be work occurring on campus involving large dump trucks delivering loads of dirt for a future project. This should not interfere with the meal distribution, but we want families be aware of this prior to Wednesday.
