Marysville Elementary is committed to academic growth for all students. Assessments are a critical part of measuring student progress and guiding instruction.

Our school uses the CHAMPS Framework to promote a positive learning environment. Students demonstrating readiness, respectfulness, and responsibility may receive positive office referrals and recognition.

We have a matrix system that we use for minor, moderate, and major infractions. Minor infractions (disruptive behavior, non-compliance, etc.) are typically handled by the classroom teacher and may result in a think sheet, parent contact, or detention. Moderate infractions (chronic minor behaviors, threats, cheating, etc.) may result in those previously listed as well as an office referral or suspension. Major infractions (chronic behaviors, violence, etc.) are handled by administrators and you will be notified to discuss the consequences further. For more information see our Behavior System Handbook on the USD 364 website.

Please note for lunch, there is only one option at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and will notify families when this changes. Please keep in mind that the students are offered salad, veggies, and fruit from the salad bar daily.

To kick off kindness week next week students will be participating in a Happy Kit Donation drive for Children's Mercy Hospital. I hold these Happy Kits near and dear to my heart. While my son's were inpatient at Children's Mercy my daughter was gifted several Happy Kits to entertain her while visiting her brothers. It helped to ease the fear and stress that the hospital brings. So next week I encourage you to bring as many items as you can to spread joy and kindness to the patients at Children's Mercy Hospital and be the "I" in KIND!

Plus, the winning class gets a pizza party!

If you have questions, please refer to the previous post about the Happy Kits or call Mrs. Tjaden at 785-562-3641.

Is your child missing any items from home? They could be here at school! Please remind them to check. These items will also be on display before the concerts this week and during Parent/Teacher Conferences next week!
