Roadrunner Rundown
July 29, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
We hope you are having a wonderful summer! While summer is not yet over, the start of a new school year is not far away. The change of schedule and scenery is a precious gift this time of year. We hope your summer has been filled with rest, rejuvenation and of course…reading 🙂 We look forward to having students join us again to share their summer adventures!
Our staff is enjoying a well-deserved break, and we are busy planning for the 2024-2025 school year. Our custodial team has been working hard to provide a shiny new look around our building. Last year our theme was “Growing Kindness” and as we focus on who we are and who we aspire to be as a community, this year our theme will be “Rooted in Kindness”. We want that kindness to be deeply rooted in our culture and to anchor the decisions we make.
If you have a child who will be entering kindergarten this school year and is NOT registered, please come by our main office between 8:30 am-3:30 pm ASAP to register your child. If you know of someone who lives in our school boundary with a kindergarten age child, please remind them to register as well.
We will be holding school tours for new MRES families on Thursday, August 8 at 3:30 pm and on Wednesday, August 14 at 9:00 am.
Attendance Matters: Most weeks we will share information about the benefits of positive attendance. For now please review the FCPS School Calendar. To the best of your ability, please plan trips and appointments in such a way that your students are available for instruction, learning, and growth.
You are invited to our Open House on Friday, August 16 to meet your child's teacher (more information on teacher assignments next month). We have staggered the times to allow for smaller groups in the classrooms at a time and to minimize challenges with parking. School supplies can be brought to the classroom, medications to our clinic, cash or checks to the cafeteria for deposit on students’ accounts.
- Session 1 - 9:00-9:30 am – A-L (alpha last name)
- Session 2 - 9:45-10:15 am – M-Z (alpha last name)
Please mark your calendar for our Back to School Night which will take place on Tuesday, September 3. More details coming soon.
Below you will find important information to help you plan for the new school year. We are excited to connect and partner with you in the exciting year ahead. Please look for the Roadrunner Rundown on Monday afternoons throughout the school year unless we have a Monday holiday. This communication is filled with important information that you don’t want to miss.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Antoinette Nauflett and Kelly Willis
