School News and Information
Happy Friday! We hope you’ve had a great week.
As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still. Please label coats with your child’s name.
Have a fantastic weekend, and stay warm as the weather continues to cool down!

HALLOWEEN INFORMATION
Halloween- October 31, 2023
We will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. Costumes will be permitted with the following guidelines:
1. No Costume Masks
2. No Props
3. Minimal Makeup
4. Costumes must be worn to school. There will not be a “change time”. Please make sure that your child will be able to function comfortably throughout the day (bathroom needs, recess, school work, specials) while wearing his/her costume.
We will have our, “parade” outside at 2:30. If it is raining, we will go with an inside walk through the bottom level of Marshall.
Marshall is accepting gently used Halloween costumes to have on hand for students that forget to wear a costume, don't have a costume to wear, or change their mind and wish they'd worn a costume to school on Halloween! Marshall will have their annual costume parade at school on 10/31 @ 2:30. We do not want any student to feel left out. Thank you!
