School News and Information

We'd like to remind you that there will be no classes for students on May 6th and May 7th. These days have been allocated for professional development for our TSD staff. Students will return on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

 

Our students in grades 3rd through 5th have successfully completed their Ohio State testing. While a few students may need to make up some tests, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all students and staff for their commitment and effort during this important period

 

Marshall’s Picnic Day will be Wednesday, May 8th. Lunch during the picnic will only be available to Marshall students. However, family members are more than welcome to join their child during lunch recess time if they wish to do so. Additionally, families can choose to bring their own lunch if they would like to eat with their child during the event. Due to these changes, you don not need to RSVP for this event.

Here are the scheduled times for each grade level:

1st & 2nd Grade: 10:55 AM - 11:45 AM 

Kindergarten & 3rd Grade: 11:50 AM - 12:40 PM 

4th & 5th Grade: 12:45 PM - 1:35 PM

Families will not be allowed in until their student's lunch/recess time to allow us to get the previous group back to class. We encourage you to participate and enjoy this special day with your child. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Marshall Mile - Mrs. Sparks

The Marshall Mile will be on May 10th. All students have been training for this in PE and they are excited to show off their hard work.  Parents are welcome to come cheer or run with their students.  We ask that you park in the upper parking lot and meet near the dumpsters.  We also would like to provide healthy snacks for our runners.  If you are willing to donate healthy items such as granola bars, apple sauce packs, and crackers, please send them to the office with a note on them for the Marshall Mile.

Final Forms Update and Reminder 

TSD will prompt parents in the first week of August to begin updating their child's school forms for the 2024-25 school year.  We know sometimes parents begin doing this early, but it's important to wait for the prompt from the district, as some forms will be changing for next school year.  The updates will be made in July after all of the summer programs are completed.
