Dear Marshall Road Families,
Integrity is a complex character trait for our young roadrunners to understand. We explain it to them as being honest and speaking the truth. When you present yourself genuinely, you have integrity. We show our students that integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching. When you have courage not to follow the crowd, you show integrity. Thank you for having conversations with your children about integrity. This is a character trait we will revisit throughout the year as it is so important.
“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” Bob Marley
The 2019-20 Students Rights and Responsibilities: A Guide for Families explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable and supportive school environment. If we have not received a signed copy of the Parent Signature Sheet, as required by law, your student will receive one in their Tuesday Folder over the next couple of weeks. Please return the signed signature sheet to your child’s school by October 25, 2019. The current version of the Students Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/policies-regulations-and-notices/student-rights-and-responsibilities/video-and-resources. Translated versions are available online.
