May 7, 2020 - IMPORTANT SURVEYS
Dear Parents and Students, Now that students have been involved in remote learning for some time, we’re interested in finding out how you and your students in grades 3–5 are feeling about the experience. We’re implementing a survey to gather input from students and parents about this experience. Please help us gather this information by completing the parent survey and encouraging your student to complete the student survey. You can explain the questions or help them think through their answers if they need help. Survey will be confidential—we’re not tracking students’ responses by name. Please let us know if you have any questions. Click HERE for the PARENT survey. Click HERE for the STUDENT survey. Thank you for your help. April 16, 2020 Marshall County Schools are partnering with the YMCA to provide a free lunch and snack starting Monday, April 20th. This program will be 5 days a week for the next three months for children from birth to age 18. If you are interested, please click HERE to register your children. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Stephanie Wisener at wisenersl@marshallk12.org. April 8, 2020 Click HERE to read a letter from Mrs. Hollaway. March 29, 2020 I met with district leaders via Zoom this morning and we have a great plan in place. Please be patient with us as we take this week to prepare. Use the rest of this week to spend some quality time with your child. We will “start school” on April 6th. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Homeroom teachers will be contacting you over the next 2 days! They may contact you via phone call, email, or REMIND. These calls may come from a restricted or blocked number. It is very important that you speak to them. Please be patient with us as we enter this uncharted territory together. We are making every effort to do what’s best for our students under these circumstances. IMPORTANT!!! We will be providing more guidance and direction at the end of the week. I will do another one call, post on social media and on the school webpage.
