LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

June 13 is the last day of school for students.  Please note that June 13 is an early out day.  The posted time of dismissal is 12:30; however, it often takes buses longer to get here.  We will be adjusting our lunch schedule to help us make this dismissal time.  Lunch will be served beginning at 10:30.

Report Cards

Report cards will be given out on the last day of school.  If your child is not in school that day, the report card may be picked up in the office June 16-30 or in August.  Report cards will NOT be mailed home.

Summer Registration

The Marshall Elementary regular office will be open most of the month of July. Since the office staff are off most of July, it is wise to phone ahead to make sure the staff member needed will be in before you come to school. Registration for the 2008-2009 school year will continue until June 30, and will begin again in early August.  If you need to register a student, please call after August 1 to set up an appointment.  You can help us by passing this information on to new neighbors.  Hours during the summer will be 8-12 and 2-4.

THE DEADLINE FOR CLASSROOM INPUT WAS MAY 30.  REQUESTS ARRIVING AFTER THAT DATE CAN NOT BE HONORED. 

Summer School

Marshall Elementary is the central site for summer school this year.    Summer school dates are July 7-25.  The student hours are 9-12:30.  Classes will be held Monday through Friday. 

The summer school principal and her staff will be happy to answer your summer school questions. They will not be able to answer questions pertaining to Marshall Elementary and the 2008-2009 school year.

Summer school transportation information will be posted in the front window of Marshall Elementary as soon as it arrives in the building.  It usually comes in the last week of June.

MULTICULTURAL NIGHT AT MARSHALL

Planning has already begun for a Multicultural Night at Marshall for the 2008-2009 school year.  We are looking for parents with ideas and a willingness to help us coordinate this special event.  Perhaps you have experienced this type of event at another school or you just have creative ideas to share.  Please contact Kay Hermeling to sign up, share ideas, or gather more information.

Wellness at Marshall

One of the county initiatives for the 2008-2009 school year is good health and wellness of our students and staff.  With this in mind, we are planning several events.  We welcome parent input.

The Advisory Council is spearheading committees to work on Multicultural Night and Wellness at Marshall, so look for more details in the near future.

Joyce Campbell, RN

All medications, inhalers, and epipens in the clinic must be picked up by a parent before the last day of school.  Medications not picked up will be discarded.  Forms for next year may also be picked up.

Please contact our school nurse, Joyce Campbell, R.N., if you have any questions or concerns. (703.791.2099)

Have a healthy summer and remember to use sunscreen!

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS

2008-2009

Back to school night for kindergarten, first, and second grades will be Wednesday, Sept. 17.  Back to school night for third, fourth, and fifth grades will be Thursday, Sept. 18.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Even though the 2007-2008 school year has come to an end, please continue to clip and save your box tops over the summer months.  Place them in an old coffee can or Tupperware box and send them in with your child in September.  This will ensure a great head start for the new school year.

Have a wonderful summer and keep on clipping.

MyLunchMoney.com

The mylunchmoney.com service for prepayments into cafeteria accounts will not be available after June 12 for this school year. 

Parents using the “Smart Pay” option may want to cancel the smart pay option prior to June 12 if they do not want a prepayment generated at the end of the school year.  

Any student(s) leaving Prince William County Schools should contact the cafeteria regarding a refund.

The 2007-2008 Marshall Yearbooks are Coming Soon! 

Don’t miss out on all the fun and excitement! 

The yearbook staff will have a table set up in the main hallway from June 9-June12. The table will be staffed from 9-9:30 a.m. and again from 3:15-3:45 p.m. during these days.  If you failed to secure a yearbook when they were sold earlier in the year, this is your opportunity to purchase one. They will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Yearbooks make great gifts for grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and family friends.

Only cash or checks made payable to Marshall Elementary are accepted.  Yearbooks cost $21.

BOWLING COMING TO MARSHALL!!!!!!!

We will again be having Rolling Bowling in the school parking lot for all the classes June 2-6. This is always a big hit with the students. They will have a chance to get on a real bowling alley and use a real bowling ball.  All students will receive a FREE pass for bowling.  We look forward to seeing ROLLING BOWLING again!

Once again, the staff at Marshall was totally overwhelmed by your generosity during Teacher Appreciation Week.  You spoiled us rotten!  We had a fabulous week, starting with the delicious breakfast on Monday.  We felt very loved and appreciated.

We feel tremendous gratitude for all your donations of food, money, gifts, and most importantly, for all the time you spend making our jobs so much easier.  Every time you walk into the volunteer room or one of our classrooms or run to the store for a “wish list” item, you give us the gift of yourself, and we cannot thank you enough.

We’d like to express extra thanks to Shanon Garner and her PTO crew who went above and beyond to make this week happen. 

Thank you all for a fabulous week and a wonderful school year!

Sincerely,

Marshall Elementary Staff

From all of us, have a wonderful, relaxing and safe summer. We hope to see you all back in September! For those families leaving us, thank you for being a part of our Marshall Family.
