March 12, 2020 Dear parent or guardian, As always, the health and safety of our students is Marfa ISD’s number one priority. It is crucial we take every possible precaution to keep them safe. So, out of an abundance of caution for our students and staff, Marfa ISD will be closed Friday, March 13, 2020. While there is no immediate danger, spring break will begin a day early. This extra day will provide our custodial and maintenance teams an extra day of cleaning and disinfecting of all classrooms, desk, and materials. Classes will resume on our regular schedule on Tuesday, March 24, 2020.
