Roadrunner Rundown
August 5, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
The excitement and anticipation of the new school year grows daily as we plan for the return of our staff and Roadrunners! One week from today our staff will return and the preparations for the return of our Roadrunners will be in full swing.
Student teacher assignments will be released in ParentVUE on August 15. Information about setting up or logging on to your ParentVUE account can be found here. Please call the main office at 703-937-1500 if you have questions or need assistance setting up your account.
Roadrunner Rundown emails will be sent out every Monday (except on holidays) throughout the school year. This will be our main way of communicating school and county information with you. Please take a moment each week to go through this information!
We hope you are savoring these summer days while looking forward to the 2024-2025 school year.
Have a great week.
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Antoinette Nauflett and Kelly Willis
