John Marshall School had a wonderful assembly for Hispanic Heritage Month. The children loved listening to the music and dancing along with the beat.

We encourage all families to participate in this School Climate Survey. This information helps us to decide what types of activities and resources our school community might be interested in and benefit from. Please click on the link to complete the survey.

If any child is being unsafe on the bus such as: hitting, yelling, cursing or interfering with the bus driver while he/she is driving will be removed from the bus. Safety is our number one priority. Parents/Guardians should be at the bus/van stops to ensure that no-one is fighting or being unkind to anyone else.

We are excited to announce that some of our Clubs are starting before and after school. Please make sure you are checking notices about when and where to drop off your child for morning clubs and when to pick them up for the afternoon clubs. Children should not be dropped off in the morning before the Club Advisor comes outside to bring the students in the building.

Please click on the image for the link for the Clubs or click here. Many club forms do not open on cell phones, please open them on another device.

We will be having an upcoming Title I Family Night on October 22nd. This will be on active reading strategies. The event will be from 6:15 -7:15pm, doors will open at 6pm. Only John Marshall Students may attend, please keep younger children home.

If your child is feeling sick prior to the start of school please keep them home. We would hate for you to start your day and then get a phone call from the school to pick them up. If your child has a fever they must stay home and be fever free for 24 hours before they can return.

Please feel free to turn in a doctor’s note and the attendance will be marked as excused.

October 28th - Grade five students will be going to Camp Bernie. Students are due back to the school by 7:50pm. Parents/ Guardians are asked to park in a legal parking spot.
