Greetings,

I am excited to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year, which is destined to be an amazing school year in Marion County!

As we strive to make this year to be #MCSDPROUD, the district is committed daily to our mission of Educating, Preparing, and Inspiring all students!

This year, the district will focus on strengthening our academic core in Reading and Mathematics. To strengthen the core and ensure optimum learning, our classrooms will have structure, high expectations, and accountability. We will also intentionally plan for and assess student learning in correlation to our state standards.

We encourage all our partners, parents, and community members to help make #MCSDPROUD by becoming involved in our schools.  Get to know your child’s teachers and school administration.  Support the school by engaging in activities such as Parent Teacher Associations and the School Improvement Council. Stay connected and know the latest information by visiting our school’s websites and social media pages and downloading the Marion County School District App from the app store on your mobile device.

We are looking forward to an amazing school year in Marion County!

Sincerely,

Kandace Bethea
