Roadrunner Rundown

August 26, 2024


Principal's Message

Dear Marshall Road Families,

We had a great first week of school and are excited to be jumping into week #2!  This morning we saw many smiling faces enter the building.  Our staff continues to focus on getting to know students, establishing routines, and diving into instruction. 

Please consider joining the Madison Pyramid for the County Fair this Thursday, August 29, 5:00-7:00 pm followed by the first football game of the season where Madison will play Stonebridge.  This event includes fun family games and food trucks.  More details can be found in this flyer and below.

There will be no school for students and staff on Friday, August 30 and Monday, September as we are off for the Labor Day weekend.  We hope you enjoy this extended weekend with your family.

Back to School Night is Tuesday, September 3 at the times listed below. The purpose of BTSN is to provide a view of the typical student day and the longer view of the curriculum across the school year.  The first 15 minutes of your time band will be a classroom visit, the final 30 minutes will be presentations regarding academic instruction, critical thinking and social-emotional learning.  You are invited to stop by the library before or after your visit to the classroom to meet Principal Chapman and meet Specials teachers in the lobby!  BTSN is not a time for individual conferences about individual students, you will receive some information about when conferences will begin to take place during the presentation.

  • Kindergarten and 1st Grade: 5:00-5:45 pm
  • 2nd and 3rd grades: 6:00-6:45 pm
  • 4th, 5th and 6th grades: 7:00-7:45 pm

Have a great week.

Much peace.

Matthew Chapman, Toni Nauflett, and Kelly Willis
