NEWS & INFORMATION
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing break. We had a short week here at Marshall and the kids were happy to be back. We would like to welcome Kerry Rice to Marshall. Kerry is our new front office clerk and we are so excited for her to join our Marshall Family. Welcome to Marshall Kerry!
Mrs. Hansel and the Communication department shared that Talawanda School District will be closed tomorrow (1/10/25). Mrs. Hansel shared the following:
Talawanda School District will be CLOSED on Friday, January 10, 2025, due to inclement weather.
The district wanted to provide families with as much time as possible to plan.
Thank you. Stay warm and safe!
We have entered the unpredictable weather season. As Dr. Theroux likes to remind families, please have a plan B ready for delays and closures.
Looking ahead, there is no school on Friday, January 17, 2025, for district PD day. There is also no school on Monday, January 20, 202,5 for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
As a reminder please remember to send your students into school with their coats as the weather is starting to turn colder as we enter the winter months. Please be sure to label your students coat so if it were to be lost we can get it back to your student. We have had quite a few students come to the office for coats during recess. If you need assistance with getting your child a coat this winter please reach out to our school social worker Chrissy at rolfesc@talawanda.org.
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.
