Due to the confidence level for severe weather moving into our area at dismissal time, the Marshall County School District will dismiss school at 1:00 p.m. on March 4, 2025. As always, we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause but we feel this is a necessary precaution for the safety of our students.

Due to a damaged electricity pole in the city, Potts Camp and Mary Reid school buses will dismiss at 2:00 (Tuesday, February 25, 2025). Car riders will be dismissed at 2:20. Due to traffic being rerouted at PC, cars will not be allowed to come down Front Street.

The Marshall County School District will be open and operating on a normal schedule Friday, February 21, 2025.

Due to road conditions in many areas of the district, Marshall County Schools will be closed Thursday, February 20, 2025. We realize that many of the roads have cleared, but the safety of our students and staff are the number one priority.

Due to the strong possibility of inclement weather, the Marshall County School District will be closed Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

Due to an ongoing situation involving the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, the 2500 block of Hwy 309 South is currently shut down in both directions. This will impact bus pickup and student arrival in these areas of the Byhalia community.

Due to the frigid temperatures we are experiencing, students will be allowed to dress out of uniform in warmer clothes for the remainder of the week (through Friday, January 24, 2025). No jeans with holes, no leggings or no pajamas will be allowed.

Due to some icy spots on Marshall County back streets, the Marshall County School District will begin School on Monday, January 13, 2025 on a 2-hour delayed start.
