It is important to remember that February can be really hard for many!
It’s that time of the year.
Where testing pressure has started to increase.
When a three-day weekend is close…..but not quite close enough.
Take time today to remember that we alone have the power to choose our good attitude.
Be the kind of person who doesn’t allow other people or circumstances to dictate how we feel or treat those around us. Instead, be the consistent one for those around you.
Be thankful for the impact that we have on not only our students but also on our peers.
Choose to be happy. Choose to be positive. Choose to smile. That doesn’t mean you are unaware of circumstances, or stress, or drama, or struggles….it just means you choose to RISE above it and be happy anyway.

Morning announcements moving forward
As you can see, the staff is very split re: the frequency of morning announcements. If you consider the comments and include them in the decision, it would be 58.8% M-F and 47% T/Th only. I do know we have done a great job of cutting back on the unnecessary and increasing our cultural awareness. We (Fisher, Krause, Ayala, Valenzuela, Mears, and Foubert) propose M, W, F as a great compromise based on your feedback. Birthdays are very important to our students. Also, being on the same page with communication is always a priority. Please make sure your class is in compliance with the pledge of allegiance and the Marshall moment on T,TH. Thank you all for your feedback.

Parent Teacher Conference - A little info
Do you need supplies for P/T Conferences? If so, let me know ASAP so we can order out of our Title I funds earmarked for Parent Engagement materials. Conferences are scheduled the three days before spring break. I recognize that Marshall teachers bend over backwards to accommodate our families and their very diverse schedules. By conferencing late, you might be able to leave for spring break at 1:00pm upon request as long as all students are gone. Classified staff, you can work your hours to accommodate the early departure on Friday and will not be required to stay late. Please note that conferences will not begin earlier than attendance rollover and printing of standards reports. However, conferences can happen after spring break if needed. Thank you all for trying to reach 100% of our families! We will track using the link below and submit to Mr. Penca for his governing board report.
Marshall - Best Practices in our final months

Watch Out for Chatbot Scams
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
(FUSD note: Below is a note from our phishing training vendor)
Chatbots on Scam Websites
Cybercriminals can use chatbots to make their phishing websites seem more legitimate. For example, cybercriminals can add a chatbot to their scam websites. If you click a link to the scam website, the chatbot will pop up and guide you through the process of entering your sensitive information. The interactive experience makes the website seem legitimate, so you may be more likely to fall for the scam.
Chatbots and Phishing Emails
Cybercriminals can use AI chatbots to create text for phishing emails. For example, cybercriminals can enter a simple prompt like “Write a phishing email that appears to come from Google”. The chatbot will create an email that appears to come from Google and asks you to perform an action, like clicking a link. This way, cybercriminals can use chatbot text to target you with phishing emails.
What Can I Do to Stay Safe?
Don’t fall for chatbot scams! Follow the tips below to stay safe:
- Even if a message seems legitimate, remain cautious. Cybercriminals can use chatbots to impersonate organizations, brands, and people.
- When you receive an email, stop, and look for red flags. For example, watch out for emails that prompt you to click links.
- Verify that messages are legitimate before sharing any sensitive information. Contact the sender directly by using another method of communication.
~Marshall Teachers and Staff - Thank YOU for being so supportive of me and our counseling program. I appreciate the care & kindnesses you each have shown to me this last week! ~ Mrs. C.
