The main entrance to the Mars Area Primary Center and Mars Area Elementary School campuses along Route 228 will be temporarily closed from approximately 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1, as utility crews will be working in the area.

Access to the schools will remain available by way of the Doc’s Way access road (via Three Degree Road) and the access road connecting the Mars Area School District Administration Office parking lot to Mars Area Elementary School.

This temporary closure may affect the route that some parents/guardians take during morning drop-off and/or midday kindergarten pick-up/drop-off. Therefore, we ask that parents/guardians please allow for extra time when traveling to and from our schools.
