Al little taste of instruction happening at PHS from essential skills in ELA to a lesson on how resistors work in Physical Science and finally wiring an electrical outlet in Ag Explorations.
Parents/Guardians…Immunization clinics will be offered on March 21st to all Marion County School students. This is a great time to get your upcoming 6th graders the required TDaP immunization. All students entering 6th grade in Alabama are required to get a booster shot (TDaP). This is also a great time for current 6th graders and above that have not had their TDaP vaccine already to get vaccinated. Other available vaccines are the MCV (meningococcal) and HPV (human papillomavirus). These are optional vaccines. Students not receiving required Alabama vaccines may provide the school with medical or religious exemption forms provided by the Marion County Health Department or their physician's office.
Consent forms will be sent out this week and need to be returned to the school nurse.
National School Breakfast Week celebrates the importance of a nutritious school breakfast in fueling students for success. This special week celebrates the national School Breakfast Program and the many ways it gives students a great start every day.

Important dates to remember in March
This Friday, March 3rd, will be a Teacher Workday for all Marion County Schools. Students will not come to school on that day.
Marion County Schools invites parents to a meeting concerning the district wellness policy on March 16, 2023, at 3:30 PM. The meeting is to be held at the Marion County Board of Education office, 188 Winchester Drive, Hamilton, AL.
Healthy choices at school help keep our students healthy and ready to learn. The wellness policy helps our schools create an action plan for nutrition and physical activity at school. Parents can share feedback to help ensure the policy is meeting the needs of the students.
Today we honor two legendary teachers and coaches for their service to Phillips High School and Bear Creek. Billy Raper and Monk Romine demonstrated extraordinary leadership and character as they touched the lives of so many in this community and many more. #GoBears

We are having a water issue at the schools. However, the problem has been worked on over the weekend. Our water is on and the toilets are flushing. We are going to send the students home early tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday, February 7th. We will load the buses at 12:00. This will give our maintenance people time to provide a better solution to the problem. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to get the issue resolved.
In addition, the boys basketball Area Tournament will still be scheduled and played at Phillips High School on Tuesday, Feb 7th & Friday, Feb 10th.
