Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This month brings exciting opportunities for learning and growth, and I encourage you to stay engaged with your child's progress. Together, we are creating a positive and enriching environment where every child can thrive.
I would like to emphasize the importance of community and partnership. Your involvement is crucial to your child's success, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year. Whether through volunteering, or simply staying connected with us, your participation helps create a vibrant school community. Please consider joining our PTO today. See below for more information.
Warmest regards,
Emily Suess
Principal, Marshall Elementary

News from Community Family Liaison
Counselor's Corner
Dear Marshall Families!
Iām excited to announce that I will be starting small group counseling sessions when we come back from fall break! These groups are a wonderful way for students to build important social and emotional skills in a supportive, small-group environment. Each small group will run for 8 weeks.
To start I will be offering the following groups:
1. Social/Friendship Skills Group (Grades K-2):
This group will focus on helping young students develop skills like making friends, sharing, communication, and navigating social situations.
2. Self-Esteem Group (Grades 3-5):
For older students, this group will focus on building confidence, promoting positive self-talk, and helping students recognize their own strengths.
If you feel your child could benefit from participating in one of these groups, or if you have any questions, please send me an email or give me a call! Sign ups for groups will close October 14th.
Warm regards,
Kylie Wright
