Marshall LMS Update
Bray's Bulletin
Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!
Greetings Ram Family!
Mission: We will intentionally create a safe, risk taking environment for students that models and fosters effective communication, collaboration and critical thinking.
Vision: Explore your passion commit to your future.
We are so excited to welcome our teachers back to campus this week. Teachers and staff will be returning on a rotating basis this week and will be engaging in virtual training sessions in order to prepare for the upcoming school year. This is an unprecedented time in our history and our teachers, staff, and administration are up for the challenge. We look forward to welcoming our students back to the learning environment on August 24th!
Schoology is the Learning Management System adopted by Northside ISD, and it will take the place of Google Classroom. Schoology will allow for both synchronous (real time) and asynchronous (independent) learning opportunities and will also help to facilitate improved teacher and parent communication. As we make the transition to the Schoology Learning Management System parents will be provided with the necessary resources to support their child in both virtual and in person instruction. Students will have access to both live time teaching and independent learning when school starts on August 24th. It is very important to note that as students return to the learning environment attendance will not be waived, and we will return to our normal grading policy.
Please save the dates of August 19th and 20th from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. The Marshall Community will be hosting "Drive through and get ready for school." This event will replace our regularly scheduled prep days. This will be an opportunity for students to get ready for virtual learning. Students will be provided with a virtual toolkit to start the year, and pick up necessary supplies to support virtual learning. Be on the lookout on social media and the school website for more information.
Ram Rally will be held on Friday, August 21st from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Northside Sports Gym. This will be a drive through celebration of the school year.
