Hello Marshall Families,
I hope you've all enjoyed your weekend. We are geared up for a strong push between now and Spring break. We have Hi-Cap testing for all students, grades 1 and 5.
As we move into the next part of our school year, I want to take a moment to address some behaviors that have become increasingly concerning in our school community. Our goal is always to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where every student can learn and every staff member can teach effectively. To uphold that standard, we will be taking a more proactive and firm approach to addressing certain behaviors such as:
Swearing and inappropriate language
Physical aggression and fighting
Defiance or refusal to follow reasonable directions from staff
These behaviors disrupt learning, create unsafe situations, and impact the well‑being of other students and staff. While we understand that children sometimes struggle with emotional regulation or impulse control, these actions cannot be overlooked.
These behaviors will be handled with increased seriousness. This may include:
Immediate removal from the classroom or activity when safety is a concern
Communication home to ensure families are aware and can partner with us
Suspension in cases of repeat infractions
Development of behavior support plans when needed
In some cases, administrative involvement or additional consequences aligned with school policy
Students deserve clear boundaries, predictable responses, and a safe environment—and we are committed to providing that.
We deeply value our partnership with families. You can support this effort by:
Talking with your child about respectful language and safe behavior
Reinforcing the importance of following adult directions
Encouraging your child to communicate their feelings in appropriate ways
Reaching out if your child needs additional support
We remain dedicated to helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally. By working together, we can ensure that our school remains a place where all students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn.
Also, if you have older students that arrive on campus to meet your elementary student, please remind them that they are expected to follow the rules of Marshall Elementary. We have had increasing disruption and inappropriate behavior from teen siblings at pickup. Guests who continue to behave in a manner inconsistent with Marshall expectations will be asked to stay off campus. Also, as mentioned in a previous newsletter, dogs may not be on campus during school time (9:10-4pm) unless they are service dogs. Please do not bring your dog on campus for pickup or drop off. Service dogs must be on a leash and students may not pet them.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Warmly,
Jamie Whobrey
Principal
