School News and Information

Happy Friday!  We have had a great week at Marshall!

As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still.  Please label coats with your child’s name. We have seen an increase in items in our Lost and Found. If your child is missing something, please come check out the Lost and Found. 

On weeks your child has Second Step lessons, students will not be checking out books from the library. They will be keeping their library books for two weeks.

HALLOWEEN INFORMATION

Halloween- October 31, 2023

We will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.  Costumes will be permitted with the following guidelines:

1. No Costume Masks

2. No Props

3. Minimal Makeup

4. Costumes must be worn to school.  There will not be a “change time”.  Please make sure that your child will be able to function comfortably throughout the day (bathroom needs, recess, school work, specials) while wearing his/her costume.

We will have our, “parade” outside at 2:30.  If it is raining, we will go with an inside walk through the bottom level of Marshall.

Marshall is accepting gently used Halloween costumes to have on hand for students that forget to wear a costume, don't have a costume to wear, or change their mind and wish they'd worn a costume to school on Halloween!  Marshall will have their annual costume parade at school on 10/31 @ 2:30. We do not want any student to feel left out. Thank you!
