NEWS & INFORMATION
Even with our unexpected snow day, we had a wonderful—although short—week together at school. The fresh snow certainly brought a lot of excitement, and our students handled the schedule change with flexibility and positivity. As winter continues, please remember to send students to school dressed for the weather. If temperatures allow, we will go outside for recess, and warm coats, hats, and gloves make a big difference. This is also a good time to double-check that you are signed up to receive district messages regarding delays and snow days so you stay informed when weather decisions are made.
One highlight of our week was the absolutely fantastic 2nd grade concert! Our students shined on stage, and it was clear how much pride they took in their performance. A big thank-you goes to Mr. Menezes for his hard work, creativity, and dedication in preparing such a memorable program. We are grateful for the joy he brings to our school through music.
Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support. Stay warm, and enjoy the snowy season with your families!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jones, Principal

NOTES FROM THE OFFICE
Student Fees:
Fees have been loaded to PaySchools if you wish to pay online. You can also pay in the office with cash or check.
Lunch Accounts:
As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the PaySchools system. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current. You can use PaySchools, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.
Free and Reduced:
If you would like to apply for free or reduced lunches, please reach out to the Marshall office or the Marshall social worker Chrissy Rolfes at rolfesc@talawanda.org. We can help walk you through the online application or help you fill out a paper form in the office. If you qualify for FREE lunch, your fees will also be waived. (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) If you qualify for REDUCED, fees will be reduced by 85% (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) and meals will be FREE.
Dismissal:
Thank you for your help in keeping dismissal safe and smooth for everyone. We ask that when your child is called to your car, you please help them climb in and then pull forward to the upper lot to buckle them into their car seat. Remaining stopped in the dismissal lane to buckle your child slows down the process for all families and, more importantly, it creates an unsafe situation when other cars attempt to go around. Your cooperation makes dismissal safer and quicker for all of our students.
Final Forms:
Remember, if you have any changes to your information (phone number, address, who can pick up your student, etc) throughout the school year, change it in Final Forms! The office is notified of these changes and will update our information. IF you have an address change, you must submit new proof of residency to the office before we will update your address.
