Roadrunner Rundown

Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
We hope you enjoyed the lovely weather over the weekend.
We are planning for the first 3-hour early release on September 23 and need to know if your child will be going home at 1:05 pm or 4:05 pm. If you have not already done so, please complete this form ASAP which covers the first two release Mondays, September 23 and October 28, to help us prepare for our child care needs. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms.
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Toni Nauflett, and Kelly Willis

School Events and Information
Immunization Requirements
Please check with your health care provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school. To clarify, this date applies to NEWLY enrolled students or PRE-EXISTING enrolled students who have been contacted by their Registrar as being NON-COMPLIANT with required vaccines.
How Families Can Help with Attendance
- Make school attendance a priority. Parents can log into the Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account to view your child's attendance. For additional support with accessing and using the SIS Parent Account visit our SIS Parent Account overview page.
- Help your student stay engaged. View handouts for families from AttendanceWorks.
- Communicate with the school. If parents are aware of a future absence, such as a full day absence for a civic engagement activity (middle or high school) or cultural observance, they may contact the school to report the absence and related date. Extended absences, typically for hardship reasons, must be documented and submitted to the school principal at least three to five school days in advance for review and action.
