Marshall E-News

We’ve had another great week in the classroom filled with engaging lessons and active student participation. Looking ahead, please remember that there will be no school on Monday, February 17, 2025, in observance of Presidents’ Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

It looks like cooler weather is rolling in next week, so be sure to bundle up those kiddos! If you need help with warm clothing, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Rolfes, Ms. Peter, or Mrs. Jones we’re here to help.

And remember, winter isn’t done with us just yet! As Dr. Theroux says, it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B ready for possible delays or closings.

PICK UP

To help ensure students arrive at their correct dismissal location, we kindly ask that you contact the main office by 2:30 PM if there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plan. While we understand that emergencies can happen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in last-minute changes around 3:00 PM, which can cause confusion and delays. By notifying us by 2:30 PM, we can make sure your child receives a dismissal note and reaches the right spot after school. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

We are so thankful to have Ms. Peter as our school counselor and Mrs. Davidison as our in house mental health provider. Thank you to both of them for being such great supports for our students!

Marshall Families,

Let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them! With spring teacher conferences just around the corner, we need your support to keep our educators energized and well-fed during the long conference days in March.

We are now accepting donations of drinks, snacks, desserts, and monetary contributions. Your generosity will help ensure that our teachers feel valued and cared for during this busy time.

Thank you for your continued support!

World Language will be on Tuesdays after school for those students who have already signed up. Please pick your child up no later than 4:30 at Marshall.

The Marshall Lost and Found located in the cafeteria has a lot of stuff. If your child has lost anything such as jackets, coats, water bottles etc. please have them check to see if it has been turned in. A case with a retainer in it has been turned in to the clinic. If this could possibly belong to your child please have them visit the clinic to pick it up.

Student Fees:

Fees have been loaded to Talawanda EZ pay 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 Talawanda EZ Pay 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 Talawanda EZ Pay, 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.

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.
