Welcome to my Homepage! My name is Ms. Shelly Ward and I love my job working with special needs students in the Work Study Program!  I have a 16 year old daughter named Emma who attends West Port High School and two dogs, one named Ezra and the other named Charlie.  They all keep me very busy!  Please feel free to reach out to me anytime on my cell or via email so I can be of assistance in any way.  Thank you!

I will be availble online from 8:40-2:40 for questions or for help completing the assignments at shelly.ward@marion.k12.fl.us

I can also be reached via cell phone @ (828)303-6262.

  • Additional distance learning resources include fldoe.org/em-response/distance-learning.stml and www.flvs.net/community.
  • Short-length “snippet stories” are shared on the district’s Twitter account (@MarionCountyK12), lending insight into district life at a time when every campus is isolated. These videos are also shared on the district’s YouTube channel.
