The Mars Area Primary Center campus exit onto Route 228 will be closed during midday kindergarten pick-up/drop-off today (Friday, March 22), as utility crews will be working in and around the area.

The turnaround in the Mars Area Primary Center parking will be open, so that vehicles may loop around and exit the campus by way of either the Doc’s Way access road (to Three Degree Road) and/or the access road connecting the Mars Area Elementary School parking lot to Mars Area School District Administration Office/Mars Area Primary Center (cafeteria entrance).

Given this closure, parents/guardians are asked to please allow for extra time when traveling to and from our schools. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience. Our District is continuing to work with the utility companies to minimize any closures and/or other disruptions to school traffic.
