Marshall E-News

We’ve had a fantastic week at school! Our first five-day week of school in 2025 was a success! Students have been engaged in exciting learning activities, and we are so proud of their hard work and settling into their routine.

The PTG BoosterThon fundraiser is happening now. When we raise $15,000, Mrs. Jones gets slimed!! We will have our Glow Dance party next Friday during specials to as part of this fundraiser!

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

Grade 3 Fall ELA Results

Grade 3 Fall ELA state testing results are now available.

To access results, log into ProgressBook and click on the “Assessment Scores” tab, then “Assessments”. ELA scores of 700 and higher are considered passing. Students needing to retest will do so during Spring state testing 4/7/25-5/2/25. Please reach out to the building administration with any questions. If you do not have access to ProgressBook, please contact your child's teacher to obtain their test scores. Paper copies of the scores will be distributed to families once they are received by the district.
