CEP is a key provision of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, which allows schools and school districts in low-income areas to eliminate school meal applications and serve breakfast and lunch at no charge to all enrolled students. CEP gives food service professionals more time to focus on preparing nutritious meals that their students will enjoy and gives students more time to eat those meals by cutting down on time spent in the lunch line. More importantly, by offering all students a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost, CEP helps ensure more students come to class well-nourished and ready to learn.
Children need healthy meals to learn. Marion County Schools offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast and lunch meals will follow the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for healthy school meals, so please encourage students to participate. “In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability.”
Parents or guardians who need further information may contact Jennifer Roberts, Child Nutrition Program Director, at 205-921-1903 or toll-free at 1-888-448-5074.

We are gearing up for Alabama Sun Bucks, preloaded cards with a one-time benefit for summer, and need your help to ensure student information is up-to-date. Parents who have changed their address since registration need to contact their child's school and update their address in PowerSchool by February 28th. Keeping records current will help us serve families more efficiently and make sure children have access to nutritious meals. Thank you!
During today’s board meeting, our Marion County Career Coaches were recognized for their outstanding dedication and service. These ladies work tirelessly as liaisons between education and industry, helping students identify career goals, explore the 16 career clusters, and develop meaningful postsecondary plans. They provide resume assistance, conduct mock interviews, facilitate dual enrollment opportunities, organize job shadowing experiences, and connect students with local employers. We are truly grateful for their commitment to preparing our students for success beyond graduation and appreciate the important work they do each day. Pictured with our Superintendent, Board Members, and the Career Coaches’ direct supervisor, Josh Weatherly, are (from left to right): Carmin Nichols-HHS & HMS, Lindsey Oliver-HCHS & PHS, and Oakley Durham-BHS & MCHS.
All Marion County Schools' students will dismiss 1/2 day tomorrow, February 4, for a professional development/teacher workday. Buses will run at 11:30.
