February Focus

February, 2021....ALREADY!  
What are you going to focus on in February, 2021?  I truly hope your own well-being is at the top of that list!  
I aspire to continue my focus on teacher observations, 4th and 5th grade book study participation, moving forward with return to school safety plans, completing our school improvement plan requirements, and maintaining my focus on long, daily walks and at least 8 hours of sleep to continue to allow my smile to shine through all of the challenges we each continue to face. 
Now that is a long sentence! :)

Thank you, Mrs. C for ALL you do for ALL of us in this extended Marshall family! We are all better because you are on our team! We cannot express enough how important your work is to helping us do ours. Thank you! 
Enjoy National School Counselor Week Feb 1-5, 2021!

Please help us all see what is happening behind the scenes! 

~Thank you, This is a more personal shout out. I wanted to thank Mrs. Skinner for her help on Friday before the Snow Storm. A different pipe burst as the snow began to fall Friday night and Mrs. Skinner as well as her husband were able to come over and mitigate the issue before the storm. Mrs. Skinner, you are already appreciated as an amazing Parapro, but thank you for being such a kind neighbor! -Ms. V.

A huge shoutout to Erin and Christina for assisting 2nd grade with the assembly of the 2nd grade packets. What a team! If you and your grade level need assistance, they continue to offer to help with ample notice. We are all here to support each other!

Concurrent Teaching PD Reminder

FILLING UP SO FAST!!!  Dates were February 5, 8, 11,16, and 26. After school sessions would run 3:30 - 5:30pm (TPPP, 301 or Salary Advancement) and Friday sessions would be from 1-3pm. There will be 35 spots available on a first come first serve basis. It will be very beneficial to sign up with your grade level team.

Tutoring for YOU & your students 

We have tutoring funds still available.  Teachers are paid $29.80/hour to provide tutoring to students.  I am also submitting a grant on Monday to receive some additional funds in TSI for tutoring (57.5 more hours). Wish me luck! Contact Erin to get set up in TimeClock Plus or to fill out time sheets if you are interested.  We must know ahead of time your tutoring plan.  Thank you. 

Kindergarten Registration

All registration is online this school year. Please direct families to call the front office or refer them to: www.fusd1.org/kindergarten if they have a kindergarten eligible child and need assistance with registration. FUSD Kindergarten registration will open on Wednesday, February 3rd. The Kindergarten team put our own short video together to showcase Marshall's Kindergarten Experience!  Well done team!  We can't wait to welcome our newest Mustangs to Marshall! Class of 2034! 

From your Wellness Committee:
The Wellness Committee hopes everyone enjoyed their four day snow weekend and is once again enjoying this Winter weather.  We hope you were all able to say your positive affirmation at least once this week!
