Back to School Marshall Update
September Update
Off to a great start!
It has been an excellent start to our new school year. Students are settling in to their new routines and we are seeing lots of smiles and laughter at the Marshall school. Students received backpacks with supplies from Quincy Credit Union. We also completed health screenings, including vision and hearing last week. The nurse will reach out if there were any concerns that require further action. Things are off to a great start and we are excited to share some upcoming events with you. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns.
OPEN HOUSE
OPEN HOUSE IS TUESDAY, Sept. 19
Our annual open house will be held on Tuesday, September 19th from 5:00-6:30. Families can stop by at anytime during open house and visit their child's classroom. We encourage students to give their families a tour of our school and meet their teacher(s). There will be a table run by PTO with more information about PTO as well as a Clifford Marshall School apparel sale. We will also have family liaisons available to welcome families and share how they work to support our school and families. Open house is a great event and we encourage all families to attend!
Arrival
We have a few reminders for morning arrival.
- There is NO PARKING at the front (Moody St) entrance. This is a rolling drop off.
- Please pull all the way forward so we can unload multiple cars at the same time.
- Please do not unload while still on the hill.
- Please try to have your child ready to exit the car quickly (backpack ready, jacket on, etc.)
- We are trying to encourage students to get out on their own as much as possible, but we will help as needed (especially our young students in car seats)
Dismissal
Overall, dismissal is going well as we know it takes time to safely dismiss all of our students. We thank you for your patience as safety is our top priority with our dismissal procedures. Please be sure your child checks in with their teacher before leaving. We would also like to remind families to please be respectful of our neighbors if you are parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Please find a legal parking space and be sure not to block any driveways. Again we appreciate your patience and support.
