Historic beginning to 2026!

Welcome to 
755 N. Bonito Street Flagstaff, AZ 86001

Welcome Back, Mustangs! 🐎

Welcome back to a brand-new year filled with possibility! This is the moment we’ve been talking about, planning for, imagining, and occasionally side-eyeing for a very long time: our new Marshall campus. We made it. The doors are open. The building is real.

This campus represents years of vision, teamwork, patience, flexibility, and more than a few “we’ve got this” moments. While the building is new, what makes Marshall special hasn’t changed one bit. The heart of this school has always been the people inside it. You, your relationships with colleagues, students and families, your dedication, your humor, and your unwavering commitment to our collective success.

Thank you for rolling with change, lifting one another up, and getting us to this milestone with grace (and caffeine). I am endlessly proud of the way this staff shows up for students, for families, and for each other.

Here’s to a new year, a new campus, and the same incredible Mustang spirit defined by strength, creativity, problem seeking and solving mindset, and readiness to learn where the light switches are together. PS we are still working on climate control.

Welcome back. Let’s make it a great year at Marshall. πŸ’™

Spelling Bee this Friday! Thank you, Ms. Mears, for your efforts in coordinating this event for our students.
and ready for you to interact with your needs. Thank you for keeping our war room booked with PLCs, parent mtgs, SSS mtgs, ESS mtgs, and more. Our new conference table will be arriving soon.



Now that we are settling into our new groove, we would love to gather and celebrate together! Don't forget to represent your culture, or one that is special to you by bringing something to share. Please share your idea with us on this sheet:

Tax Credit Donations

Staff, I’d like to kindly ask you (and your friends and your family and any AZ tax payer you know) to please consider making a contribution to Marshall Magnet Elementary School this tax season. The process is simple: you donate the amount of your choice and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your taxes. For example, if you donate $100 now and owe $100 in taxes by April, your payment will be reduced by that $100. If you donate $100 and are expecting a refund, your refund will increase by $100. A person filing their tax return individually may contribute up to $200 annually. Married couples filing jointly may contribute up to $400 annually, but every dollar helps us provide bussing, field trips, and extracurricular activities for our amazing students!

Give you Money to the State or give it to our school...either way, you pay! 



New Substitutes to call in the event of an absence:
Kevin Fedde (702) 423-3105
Ella Brown (949) 446-5944


Planning for 2026-2027
Yes, it is already that time of year where FUSD begins having staffing meetings and intents to return must be communicated. This year, it has been moved up, yet again. The deadline to fill out this form is Monday, January 26th. Thank you for your attention to the matter.
