Updated Attendance Information
Please communicate with a member of our school office team if your child will be absent from class virtually or in-person. The MRES website offers ways in which you can communicate an absence from a class and/or for the day. We appreciate your support with this matter.
If a student who is supposed to be in person, participates virtually instead, you need to notify the office by phone call or email MarshallRoadElem.Attendance@fcps.edu before 10:30 am. If you do not do this, FCPS will generate an automatic phone call or email to parents letting them know their student was not attending in person. Please note it can take some time to update codes in SIS before that communication goes out.
If your child is receiving in-person instruction, we encourage outside appointments to be scheduled on the days they are not in the building, when possible. We want to minimize the loss of instruction.

We want to include candid pictures of our virtual students in the yearbook and would like to invite you to submit pictures of your children doing virtual school at home. Please upload your photo(s) here by Friday, April 23rd.

Coming Soon! Virtual International “Night,” A Taste of Marshall Road Cookbook, April 19-30
Be on the lookout for information about how you can submit a recipe from your country that highlights your culture or your favorite family recipe. A link will be sent next week to access a Google Slide where you can share your recipe and pictures.
In addition to the cookbook, this year, students will again be creating paper dolls to showcase their country including cultural clothing, food, flags and greetings. In-school students will receive paper dolls in class. Virtual students may stop by the school between 8:45 am - 4:30 pm to pick up their dolls.

Earth Week
Marshall Road will celebrate Earth Week April 19-23. Think of creative way to spend time outside every day and make observations of the nature around you. Think about how you feel when you are outside.
Here are some ideas for outdoor activities to restore yourself and help restore the earth:
- Take a walk around your neighborhood or local park and observe the scenery and life around you.
- Read or write beneath a tree.
- Use sidewalk chalk to draw what inspires you or makes you feel peaceful.
- Let nature inspire your drawing, song or other creative outlet.
- Take a garbage bag on your next jog/walk. Use gloves to pick up any trash you find along the way. Recycle anything you find that can be recycled.
- Find an activity in the Fairfax County Field Journal to complete outdoors.
- Project Learning Tree’s 12 Nature Walk Activities for Earth Day
Wear a blue or green T-shirt on Wednesday or Thursday to celebrate our beautiful planet!
