Marshall Elementary Weekly E-News

September 25, 2020

A Peaceful, Productive, Healthy, and Happy Community

The mission of Marshall Elementary is to work as a community to achieve higher levels of thinking and learning by empowering every learner everyday.

School News and Information

Happy Friday!  We hope you have had a great week.

Thank you to everyone who ordered Mumkins.  We had a great sale!  Thank you to our Marshall PTG for organizing this and stay tuned for a Poinsettia Sale and a Spring Hanging Basket Sale.

ChromeBook Help

We are starting to get reports of Web Cameras not functioning in Zoom. When we have checked the devices they had updates pending or just needed a reboot. Closing the Lid does not reboot the Chromebook. You must click on the Time area in the lower right corner, then click the power button to turn off the Chromebook. Once the Chromebook restarts the Web Camera has been restored. 

Attendance Reminder

Please make sure that you stay in communication with the homeroom teacher for attendance purposes.  We know things come up.  If your child is going to be absent, please email your child’s teacher.  They will help you access the asynchronous learning.  Thank you!

K-Kids Memo for 4th and 5th Grade

Hey everyone! Good news- K-Kids is going virtual! We will be meeting every month on Zoom. We will have guest speakers share the ways they have made Oxford a better place for us to live. We will have service projects as well! Our K-Kids meetings will be district-wide. This means 4th and 5th graders from Kramer and Bogan will be in our club!

If you are interested in signing up, please fill out the google form below by October 1st. Email Miss Withrow with any questions you might have.

We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Scherzinger will offer curbside book pick up.  Please use this link  to check out our Marshall Elementary Media Center site.  

Friendly Reminder

This is a friendly reminder as we navigate online instruction.  During Zoom sessions, please make sure that you and/or your family is using appropriate language.  Elementary students shouldn't hear curse words or language that is not appropriate for our young learners.  We understand that this is a new environment for all, please try and help all of our learners.

Free and Reduced Lunch Information

Fall Food Program

Every Monday evening, families may come to one of our sites to pick up 5 breakfasts & 5 lunches.  An adult must be present.  The federal government has provided us with a waiver.  The great news is we will be able to continue to provide 5 days of meals on each Monday.   Thank you to all the staff that are working hard on preparing, packing, delivering, and supporting our students.
