It is the mission of the Marissa Unit #40 School system to foster and develop a desire to learn, provide and establish tools to know how to learn, and build and instill confidence to know that the student can learn. To accomplish this mission, the following are our objectives.

Each school periodically reports its "effective school" progress to the board of education.

Marissa District 40 is officially notifying its students, parents/guardians that it may not request or require a student to provide a password or other account-related information to gain access to a student's account or profile on a social networking website even if the district has reasonable cause to believe that the student's account on a social networking website contains evidence that the student has violated a disciplinary rule or policy.
