Teacher Placement and Aspen the MPSD Parent/Student Portal

For those who are new to South River School, the Marshfield Public School District uses ASPEN, a web-based Student Information System which provides a variety of tools for students, parents, and staff. The Portal for elementary families will open on Monday, August 21st at which time your child’s new teacher will be noted! Please note a tremendous amount of effort and thought goes into each child's placement. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding that no changes to placement can be made.
