Calendar
Reminder: The last day of school, Tuesday, June 11th, is an early release day.
Field Day
June 10th Grades 4-6: Families who wish to cheer students on school grounds must have an updated CORI on file. Those without an updated CORI can cheer on students from the designated spectator areas. Families are welcome to attend and we thank you for your participation.
From the Office
Dismissal plan forms for 24-25 have been sent home. Please send these back as soon as possible so that we can begin preparing for next year! We understand that things can change over the summer. However, these forms allow us to know where students will be going after school, especially the first week. You absolutely can provide updated plans over the summer should you have changes.
Meet Norman
Superintendent Nelson, School Resource Officer Tracy and Marion Police Chief Nighelli are pleased to welcome a new comfort dog to the Marion Police Department and Sippican School. Norman is a 13-week-old Labrador Retriever. Read more.
