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. 

 

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.

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 Monday, Sept. 15.  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.
