Mars Area Elementary School will hold a spring open house from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, March 5.

The open house will give the community a look inside the school. Parents and guardians can meet with teachers and discuss students’ progress.

Due to ongoing construction, parking at the elementary school will be limited to teachers, staff and those with a visible handicapped placard. Attendees are instead encouraged to park at the high school and ride shuttle buses that will run between 5:30 and 8:15 p.m.

Additional parking also will be available at the primary center and administration building’s lots. Attendees are asked to park only in designated spaces and to refrain from parking in the grass or along roads.

More information on the open house is available by calling 724-625-3161.
