Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day on October 3
Join us on the Bike Train or walk to school on our next Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day on Tuesday, October 3! The Bike Train departs Meadow Lane Park at 8:45 am. Students may meet at Meadow Lane or join the Bike Train along the route. If you have a student joining the Bike Train, please consider signing up to chaperone some of the rides!
If your student rides in the morning, please make sure they know how they are getting home in the afternoon and where they will meet you (at school, at home, or at Meadow Lane Park). If they normally take the bus, you must inform the MRES office that they will be biking home (email jfheflin@fcps.edu). Riders must have a helmet and be comfortable riding a two-wheel bike on neighborhood roads. Please visit our Bike Train page for additional details.
Dining for Dollars at Panera
Join us at Panera on Wednesday, October 4, 4:00-8:00 pm. Mention the code FUND4U and Marshall Road Elementary will receive 20% of sales in store, placed online at www.Panerabread.com or the Panera app.
Marshall Road Directory
We are delighted to announce that a new student directory will be available for the 2023-2024 school year, sponsored by the PTA. The directory will be in PDF format and will contain information such as the names and emails of teachers/staff, student names, and parent/guardian emails. The directory is exclusively for the private use of Marshall Road Elementary School families. It cannot be reproduced, sold, or used for any commercial purposes whatsoever.
Having a student directory is a wonderful way to promote communication and community among parents and students, which has a variety of benefits for everyone involved. For example, parents/guardians can facilitate playdates, send party invitations, and support extracurricular activities.
If you do not want your information or your student's information to be included in the directory, please return the Opt-Out form to the MRES front office by Friday, October 13. If you select the Comprehensive Opt-Out Option or the Limited Opt-Out Choice A your student’s information and your contact information will not be included in the student directory.
Science Share/STEAM Night
The PTA is partnering with the school to host a combined Science Share/STEAM Night at Marshall Road on February 1. More information will be provided as we get closer to the event.
We wanted to let you know that Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) will be hosting their 11th annual Science Fair on March 16 and they invite all students in grades 5-8 in FCPS to participate. Some Marshall Road 5th and 6th graders may want to use the projects/presentations they prepare for our MRES Science Share to present at the TJHSST Fair. There is an interest session on October 6, 5:00-6:00 pm. More information about the TJHSST Science Fair and interest session can be found here and a full guide to the Fair can be found here.
