Marshall Elementary Weekly E-News

September 13, 2019

 

A Peaceful, Productive, Healthy, and Happy Community

The mission of Marshall Elementary is to work as a community to achieve higher levels of thinking and learning by empowering every learner everyday.

 

School News and Information

Thank you to everyone who came to the first Marshall PTG meeting and thank you for your feedback on the New Marshall.  It has been a long process but in the end it will be great to have a new facility for our students. Currently construction is scheduled to begin March 2020 with the New building opening Fall of 2021.  

 

If you have missed the previous weeks, look for a post every Sunday Night for our next Sunday Night Reading with Mr. Hinton.  We encourage all our students to read every night.  #thisisMEtsd

New Elementary Report Card

For the past year teachers, parents, and administrators have met to discuss and give input on the EMONI grading system used to report how students are performing in the classroom.  After much input and reflection, Talawanda Elementary schools; Kramer, Bogan, and Marshall will be changing from the EMONI reporting system to a numerical system. The purpose of this reporting change is to better communicate with parents and students about the achievement of grade level expectations.  Students will be marked using a 4 point scale indicating how well a student has mastered the grade-level standards. 

 

Please use this link to view Mrs. Gregg’s letter about our new report card.

 

Destination Imagination

Destination Imagination is an innovative creative problem-solving program for participants from kindergarten through high school. Teams of 5 to 7 participants are challenged to solve one of six unique Team Challenges and an Instant Challenge using their own ideas and talents. Each of the six challenges offers participants an opportunity to explore STEAM (STEM + ART!) areas such as science, technology, engineering, improvisation, fine art, and outreach. Creating solutions requires creativity, teamwork, and learning new skills. See back side of this paper for info on signing up your student and/or volunteering as a team manager. 

 

We will be hosting an informational meeting about Destination Imagination on Wednesday, September 18th, from 6pm-7pm in the upstairs meeting room at the Oxford Lane Public Library located at 441 S. Locust Street. All are welcome to attend! We will explain the program and how teams are formed. Sign ups will also be available for students interested in participating.
