Week of April 15
Hello Marshall Families,
Believe it or not, we are down to the last eight weeks of school this year. We have a lot packed in to the remaining two months, so get your calendars out.
As I mentioned last week, CAASPP testing begins the week of April 29. English, Math and 8th grade Science classes will be testing on Tuesday through Thursday of that week. Those block periods will be longer to allow enough time for students to complete the test section during one class period. Monday and Friday schedules will be unchanged. We will also keep the same start and end times throughout testing. We will continue with the extended block schedule on Tuesday through Thursday during the following week of May 6. The final day of testing will be Thursday, May 9. Students who miss any portion of the testing will do make-ups after May 9.
May 9 is also the date of our spring Open House. Open House will run from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Families can visit classrooms during this time. There is no set schedule for visitations. We will also have food trucks on campus from 3:00 to 6:00 if you would like to get something to eat during your visit. Also, the Festival of Cultures will take place during Open House from 4:00-4:45 in the main quad by the theater. Please stop by to check it out on your way to or from the classrooms.
Finally, the promotion ceremony for our eighth-grade students will take place on Thursday, June 6. The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. on the upper fields. The promotion party will also take place on the upper fields on Friday, May 31. More information on both events will be sent to families of eighth-grade students in the coming weeks. June 6 is the last day of school for sixth and seventh graders. It is also a minimum day.
I hope you were able to enjoy at least part of the beautiful day today and weren’t stuck indoors working on your taxes. Have a great week, everyone!
Sincerely,
Stephen Olds, Principal
