Marcum Matters
July 23rd, 2023
We have ordered a very limited number of yearbooks that will be available for purchase in the office. If you didn’t already order online, and you’d like to purchase a Yearbook from the school, please bring $30 cash (exact amount, please) or check (made out to Marcum-Illinois) to the office to order. These will be sold on a first come, first served basis. If we run out, you may purchase a yearbook on the TreeRing Website and it will be sent to your house. All Yearbooks that have already been ordered will be distributed the last week of school.
We will be holding our End of Year ROAR Assembly on Thursday, June 6th at 9:00 am. During the assembly, we will be recognizing some of our TK-7th grade students for their achievements throughout this school year. We will also be recognizing our kindergartners with a promotion certificate. We hope you can join us to celebrate the success of our students. 8th Grade students will be recognized at 8th Grade Graduation.
The enrollment paperwork for our Before and After School Care Programs will be emailed to all families on May 15, 2024. Space in both of these programs is limited due to staffing and required program ratios. Enrollment is first come, first served for each program. Please return your Before and/or After School application packets as soon as possible. These are two separate programs, so if your family needs to utilize both programs, you must complete both applications and apply to both programs.
Applications are due May 29, 2024. If your child only needs to attend on Monday afternoons due to our weekly early release, you do not need to fill out an application. On Mondays only, we will allow more flexibility for additional attendees and will provide additional staffing to accommodate this increase.
After School Program, The DEN (TK-8th Grade, 2:45-6:00)
Students enrolling in the After School program should stay after school 5 days a week
until at least 4:30pm daily. The After School program is free, as it is grant funded.
Before School Care (TK-8th Grade, 7:00-8:10)
The fee to attend this program is $250 per family, per year. Payment will be due once your family is accepted into the program.
As we approach the end of the school year, we will be utilizing the early release Monday time for teacher collaboration in a variety of ways. Teachers will have the opportunity to look at progress monitoring data for the current cycle of intervention groups, collaboratively score district writing assessments, reflect on and discuss social-emotional learning goals with Choose Love, and begin report card preparations!
We will continue to have staggered dismissal times for our students this year. Students will be dismissed to the front of the school, the Bus, or the Den at the following times:
TK-2nd 2:50pm
3rd-5th 2:55pm
6th-8th 3:00pm
Early Release Mondays (Every Monday) (Light Blue Days):
TK-2nd 1:35pm
3rd-5th 1:40pm
6th-8th 1:45pm
Minimum Days (Gold Days):
TK-2nd: 12:20pm
3rd-5th: 12:25pm
6th-8th: 12:30pm
If you need to make changes to your child's normal routine, please contact the school office so we can note it and ensure that the student goes to the right place. You may text changes to the school cell phone (530) 933-0746 or call (530) 656-2407 ext 10. Please notify the school of any changes at least 45 minutes prior to dismissal.
