Roadrunner Rundown
September 23, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
We are glad to share that our first 3 hour early release went smoothly today. Thank you for communicating your dismissal plans for your children with us and for your patience as we navigated this new schedule to allow our teachers more planning time. Please mark your calendars for the upcoming 3 hour release days which will take place on October 28, December 9, February 24, March 17, April 28 and May 19.
Are you a musician interested in performing for our students? We are excited to celebrate the good behavior of our students in the cafeteria by providing Friday Lunch Live, a display of any age appropriate music (classical, jazz, pop etc.), during their lunch time on Fridays. If so, please email Karlen McClain at ksmcclain@fcps.edu. We hope this fun incentive will keep the positive behavior going.
This is the time of year when we see more sick children in the clinic. Please make sure you have emergency back-ups listed on your Emergency Care Form to pick your child up in case you are unable to do so. Sick students should be picked up within an hour of the parent receiving the call from the school.
Have a great week!
Matthew Chapman, Toni Nauflett, and Kelly Willis

School Events and Information
Attendance Matters
Your children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year or about 18 days. That can be just one day every two weeks, and that can happen before you know it.
- Some absences are unavoidable. We understand that children will get sick and need to stay home occasionally. The important thing is to get your children to school as often as possible.
- If too many absences occur, it is still a problem whether they are excused or unexcused because they represent too much lost learning time in the classroom.
- Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show many children who miss too many days in kindergarten and first grade can struggle academically in later years. They often have trouble mastering reading by the end of third grade.
- Too many absent students can affect the whole classroom, creating churn and slowing down instruction.
Dining Room Assistant Needed
We are looking for a Dining Room Assistant to join our team this school year. The schedule for this position is Monday-Friday, 11:00 am - 2:30 pm. Please contact Karlen McClain at ksmcclain@fcps.edu if you have questions or are interested in applying.
Lost and Found
Please have your child check our Lost and Found (outside the cafeteria) for sweatshirts, jackets and water bottles. To prevent lost items, we ask that you write the last name of your student on their belongings. Items with names on them can be returned to the student instead of the Lost and Found. All items will be donated at the end of the quarter in November.
Fall Picture
Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, October 10. Pictures will be available for viewing online approximately two weeks following our school's photo day. Pictures may be preordered online. Questions about ordering? Email Victor O'Neill at underclass@vosphoto.com.
