Roadrunner Rundown
June 10, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
We are proud of our 6th grade students who will be finishing their time at Marshall Road this week! We will be marking their transition to Middle School with a Moving Up Ceremony tomorrow at 10:00 am followed by a reception on the blacktop. This is a time for us to celebrate their hard work and growth. All 6th grade students and their families are invited to these events. Siblings of 6th grade students attending the ceremony should report to their classroom for attendance and will then report to the library around 9:30 am. Parents will be able to pick up their child from the library after they check in and head to the gym for the ceremony.
We have come to the last week of the 2023-2024 school year and are grateful for a wonderful year with your amazing children! Thank you for partnering with us in the education of your children. Thank you for giving your time by volunteering in classrooms and at PTA events. Thank you for the numerous ways you have supported MRES this school year!
Our last day of school is this Wednesday, June 12 and we will dismiss 2 hours early. The summer office hours will be 9:00 am - noon.
We wish you and your family a wonderful summer! Keep reading and keep exploring your curiosity!
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Sue Kirby and Antoinette Nauflett
