Our Mission

Marion Cross School serves students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 as part of the Norwich School District. Norwich students attend Marion Cross School for Kindergarten through 6th grade, then they attend the Richmond Middle School across the Connecticut River in Hanover, NH for 7th and 8th grades, joining Hanover middle School students.

At the heart of our school community is our mission.

Marion Cross School is a nurturing kindergarten through sixth grade public schools that:

Promotes educational excellence and fosters a lifelong love of learning;

---

Empowers all students to realize their intellectual, physical, emotional, creative, and social potential;

---

Partners with families and the community to develop responsible local and global citizens who can adapt to a changing world.

In our community we will be:
kind, respectful, honest, and safe.

This past year has come with many challenges, but it has illustrated the strength of our community and its ability to come together to provide what is best for our students."

Parent Teacher Organization

We are extremely lucky to have a very active and involved Parent Teacher Organization. From raising funds for teacher grants for enriching the curriculum to baking pies for staff appreciation day, our PTO volunteers provide vital services and support. The Marion Cross PTO was formed in the spring of 1993. This organization brings teachers and parents together to enrich the education of our students. It provides meaningful programs and events for parents, students and teachers, and it engages in special projects that will support the school mission and community spirit. The success and vitality of the PTO depends upon the involvement of as many parents and teachers as possible. The PTO considers all parents and teachers members. We encourage you to participate.
