MES Weekly Scoop

Dear Marysville Elementary Families,

I would like to start off by sharing that I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we navigated last week's winter weather. The brutally cold temperatures and snow made for some tough decisions regarding school closures and late starts, and I truly appreciate your flexibility. Fortunately, the forecast is looking up, and it feels like we're finally heading toward spring!

A quick reminder that our make-up date for Parent-Teacher Conferences will be this Wednesday, February 26th from 12:30-8:30 PM. We value this time to connect and discuss student progress, so we hope to see you there.

Looking ahead, the end of the third quarter is March 7th, which will be a no school day for students. Then, Spring Break is scheduled for March 17-21, giving everyone a well-deserved break before we enter the final stretch of the school year.

Thank you for your continued support, and let's finish February strong!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Janine Doebele

Marysville Elementary Principal

Marysville Elementary is committed to academic growth for all students. Assessments are a critical part of measuring student progress and guiding instruction.

Our school uses the CHAMPS Framework to promote a positive learning environment. Students demonstrating readiness, respectfulness, and responsibility may receive positive office referrals and recognition.

We have a matrix system that we use for minor, moderate, and major infractions. Minor infractions (disruptive behavior, non-compliance, etc.) are typically handled by the classroom teacher and may result in a think sheet, parent contact, or detention. Moderate infractions (chronic minor behaviors, threats, cheating, etc.) may result in those previously listed as well as an office referral or suspension. Major infractions (chronic behaviors, violence, etc.) are handled by administrators and you will be notified to discuss the consequences further. For more information see our Behavior System Handbook on the USD 364 website.

Please note for lunch, there is only one option at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and will notify families when this changes. Please keep in mind that the students are offered salad, veggies, and fruit from the salad bar daily.
