School News and Information
Happy first Friday of the new school year! We have had a great week with our 2nd to 5th grade students and we have had a wonderful first day with our Kindergarten and 1st grade students. We are very impressed at how well they have learned the classroom and school routines and procedures. This makes jumping into learning so much easier. We are looking forward to a great year and appreciate your support in encouraging students to be good listeners, to complete all of their work, and to read everyday.
The school day begins at 9:30 am and we will finish at 4:15 pm. (3:30 on Wednesdays). Students may be dropped off and enter the building starting at 9:15 am. Our first early dismissal Wednesday will be August 17th at 3:30.

TSD Breakfast and Lunch Program
For the past two school years, the USDA has offered waivers to food service programs across the US allowing us to offer all students a breakfast and lunch at no charge. Unfortunately, these waivers expired June 30, 2022. This means that families will be asked to complete and submit a Meal Benefits Application for the 2022-23 school year. With the waivers, breakfast and lunch were free. This year if students do not qualify for free/reduced lunch, they must pay. The prices are listed below:
Student Meal Pricing
Breakfast - $1.50
Lunch - Elementary $2.75
Milk (Individual) - $.60
The Marshall Lunch Menu is posted on the website linked here.
Students must have their breakfast card to get a breakfast in the morning. These cards were given out at the beginning of the year and should be kept in one location of the student’s backpack.
