Mars Area Elementary School will hold its annual Building Visitation Day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 21.

Due to ongoing construction related to the Mars Area Elementary School Expansion Project, all vehicles must access to the school campus via the "Little Dipper," the access road connecting the school to the Administration Office/Mars Area Primary Center cafeteria parking lots. There will be NO ACCESS to the school via the Doc's Way access road or the Elementary School driveway, the main connector roadway between the school and Mars Area Primary Center parking lot. We ask that you please use caution when entering/exiting our school campus as construction vehicles may be present.

In addition, please be aware that, as access to the building has been limited over the last few weeks, some teachers/staff members may still be putting the finishing touches on their classrooms. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we are diligently working to prepare our building for the return of students on Tuesday, Aug. 25. Thank you.
