Message From The Principal

Dear MCS Community, 

two students at a water tableThe third trimester will begin on March 9th.  If any of you are considering a change from in-person to remote or remote learning to in-person instruction, this is the time to let me know.  This is the last opportunity to change learning environments this school year.  I would like to remind everyone that MCS has done a stellar job of keeping kids safe.  We have not had any positive cases, and actually our absences due to illness are drastically lower this school year.  I am confident that at this time we can keep students safe and healthy during in-person learning.  Please email shawngonyaw@hanovernorwichschools.org if you are considering a change in the learning environment for your child(ren).

Important Announcements about next year:

1.  Pre-Registration is now open for NEW students to Marion Cross School for the 2021-2022 school year.  Students that should pre-register are:

  • Any NEW student that has not previously been enrolled in any grade (PreK-6) at MCS
  • Any PreK student that plans to participate in a program other than MCS (Act 166)

Due to early education requirements, the capacity for the MCS Pre-K is 15 students.  We are currently creating a priority order for Pre-K admissions that might need to be used if we go over our capacity.  There are no enrollment limits for K-6. 

Online pre-registration forms can be accessed by going to the parent portal on our website marioncross.org.  Please call the main office at 649-1703 ext 5111, if you need help registering.  Please contact Greg Bagnato, Coordinator of Student Services at gregbagnato@hanovernorwichschools.org if you have any questions.

Have a Safe Week!

 

Sincerely,
Greg Bagnato
