School Closure Information
If we are ever forced to cancel school due to severe weather we will do our best to notify you as soon as possible. We will notify you via the news stations and radio as well as a phone call, text message, email and the Purcell Marian website at www.purcellmarian.org. If you are not notified in one of the methods mentioned, then school has not been cancelled.
Grades & Progress Reports
Remember you can view your child's schedule or grades at any time
by going to www.purcellmarian.org, clicking on Current Families, then Parentsweb
Login. When logging
into the parent portal, remember the district code is PM-OH. Click student information, then grades. If you have any questions about logging onto ParentsWeb, email Mark Majick at
markmajick@purcellmarian.org
.
As you view and reflect on your student's report card, remember that if your child fails a class for a quarter, they still can pass for the year by passing the remaining quarters and doing well on the final exam. Any student who fails a class for the year must attend summer school and earn credit recovery for that class. Purcell Marian will not re-enroll any student who is credit deficient.
RenWeb Mobile App for Parents
RenWeb Home provides access to the features in ParentsWeb via a mobile app. Parents and students have instant access to school and academic information, including online lunch ordering, attendance, homework, and more.
A reminder to all parents:
As part of working through the difficult loss of Junior Greg Thompson, we made the decision to postpone the end of the 3rd quarter. The original end date of the quarter was last Friday, March 9th. We have decided to extend the 3rd quarter till Friday, March 16th. This will give our students and staff the time needed to grieve without stressing over grades at this time.

The men and women of M.A.D.A take on the responsibility of being pillars to of the community, by serving as mentors who share information and strategies to facilitate success.
