All things end of October-ish!


This is a GREAT idea (video) just as long as your neighborhood does NOT have Marshall students living or trick or treating in it! 

Spread kindness!

Marshall's 3-Pronged Policy ---E
1.  Any Halloween activities must be aligned with standards and instruction. 
2. Aligned Halloween activities must not impact or interrupt other school programs, schedules, or special classes, including but not limited to RTI. Thank goodness it is not mid-week!

3.  Costumes must be school appropriate following the guidelines below.  If your students wish to come in costume, please make sure you pass along and monitor these guidelines.  

  • If costumes are in any way unsafe students will be required to remove them.  
    • No attire may be worn which would in any way impede the student from moving safely and quickly out of the building in the event of an alarm.
    • If students do not have a change of clothing, they will be required to stay in the office until parents arrive.
  • Costumes must not obstruct vision or movement or in any way present a hazard to the student or other classmates. 
    • Halloween masks may not be worn.  Not even outside the classroom.
  • No fake knives, swords, or guns of any kind may be used as a part of any costume. 
    • Such items will be confiscated and may result in disciplinary action including but not limited to suspension from school.
  • Costumes must not be overly gruesome and overtly violent.
Also, please keep in mind: many of our constituents find the celebration of Halloween to be offensive, contrary to their religious beliefs, or just a distraction from what should otherwise be a normal, productive day of school.  In planning to incorporate Halloween into your teaching next week, should you choose to do so, please recognize and honor each individual's position on this issue and their right to hold it.  You may not choose to exclude from instruction students who choose not to recognize Halloween.  Please keep in mind: a separate-but-equal instructional program for such students is most often neither.
Thank you for you help in enforcing the "Halloween 3-Pronged Policy".  Please share your educational ideas and photos with the rest of us!

Preparation for pivot to remote learning
No, we are not there....yet!  It is a real possibility that we could reach an outbreak status where we have to go remote for 2 or more days as the winter and all it's illnesses approach.  We just want to make sure we are prepared.  Below is what we have discussed.  Please reach out if you need assistance with any of the expectations.
1) Hotspots: Make sure you know which students may need a HotSpot to access remote learning.
2) iPads: Make sure you have iPad, charging cord/cable for all students.  Make sure they have all of their login information.
3) Canvas: Make sure they know how to access your Canvas page.  Instructions for parents are online if you wish to include in your remote learning information. 
4) Zoom Link: Please fill out this form at your convenience.  Please don't forget to make Reasor and  Erin a co-host incase we need to assist you.  Thank  you!  https://forms.gle/1rP7zQTkGcNFMZ2T7
5) Remote Schedule: Please make sure you are prepared to communicate your remote schedule with students, guardians and Reasor.
6) Telework Form is submitted: Telework Form
7) Tech User Agreement Form: We still have 60 students who have yet to turn this in.  Please assist us!

Please help us all see what is happening behind the scenes! 
Thank you, all for your continued support of all of our mitigation strategies. Please continue to have students spray and wipe desks, daily. Please continue to have windows open. Please make sure all vents and units are free of blockage. Please make sure students are distancing during mask breaks and snack time. We cannot let up now. Several different "illnesses" going around. Silver lining....we are closer to students being vaccinated. We are still more conservative than other schools. We are still teaching and learning in person! We must remain diligent! THANK YOU!
Thank you, all for your assistance with the recycling program. This is the culmination of a two year project in collaboration with a community partner. Thank you Mrs. Waltner for taking on the coordination of this project.

2nd quarter wellness challenge!
You are all faced with so many challenges.  Grave challenges and no two seem to be the same.  We will keep going.  We will keep making a difference.  We will continue to find ways to make progress on some of these very difficult tasks, decisions, and "unwinnable" situations.  Please just try to remember to take care of yourself throughout this process!  We have all been going so strong since Feb., 2020!  We have not let down and the demands placed on us are not going to lessen.  We all have to start better self care.  What change are you going to make this quarter to lead with self care by example? 
I'll start! I am going to commit to leaving by 5pm daily.  I will not engage in work email/phone calls after 6:30pm. Regular walking routine with fresh air!  Please share with us all what you will commit to.  Perhaps we can support each other in making self care a priority.   https://padlet.com/jreasor/pz5me1j9wvs6agfg 

I am Thankful for YOU!

I say it all the time.  I see you!  I don't feel that hearing it is enough.  I don't know how I am going to pull this off but I must show you how much I appreciate you.  So, during the month of November, I would like to show my appreciation for YOU by teaching your class for 30 minutes so you can grab a breath, get a cup of coffee, or take a quick walk. Please fill out this form with preferred times and dates and I'll put a schedule together. No need to plan a thing- I've got that part covered!
