Dear Families,
 
The last weekend of summer has now come to an end, and it seems the focus around us is the start of school for our neighboring schools. It feels good to have two weeks under our belt, and these two weeks have given us time to settle into a new routine with our health and safety protocols. Our students are doing a wonderful job at wearing their masks and trying to maintain physical distancing. While it is difficult for students to remain separated from each other, they are falling into a new routine. Please continue to encourage your child(ren) to practice distancing even when away from school so the time in school is not as difficult of a transition.

As we enter the third week of school, we continue to stress the importance of remaining vigilant with health and safety protocols within your own home and related to travel. According to the CDC, if you have traveled and/or participated in higher risk activities, you should stay home and consider being tested for COVID. Higher risk activities include attending large group gatherings such weddings, funerals, or sporting events, or being in crowds in restaurants, bars, airports, or movie theaters. Each family's decisions affect our entire community and our ability to remain in person for school. Please do your part just like you would expect other families to do theirs. Our faculty and staff are also making hard decisions to restrict their activities, including time with loved ones, to keep others safe. If everyone does their part, we will continue to be able to enjoy in-person learning.

#ToppersTogether,

Heather and Karen

REQUEST FOR SERVICES FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING NON-PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Each year, each student's family is asked to complete the Request for Services form. By accepting these services, Marshall is able to provide textbooks, a licensed school nurse, and a licensed counselor to work with students. It is important that each family complete this form annually. If you have not had a chance to do so, please complete the form so we can continue to receive these services to support your child(ren).

CrisisGo FAMILY HEALTH CHECK-IN

Please remember to carefully complete your CrisisGo check in every morning to report your child(ren)'s attendance or absence from school. It is important to accurately record any symptoms your child is experiencing if they are ill. If you are not receiving CrisisGo text notifications, please contact Registrar Julie LaFond (jlafond@marshallschool.org) to verify we have your correct contact information.

CONFIRMED CLOSE CONTACT OR POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST RESULT

If your child has been exposed to COVID-19 or had a positive test result, immediately contact healthcenter@marshallschool.org.

According to MDH guidelines, anyone with known exposure to COVID-19 should quarantine for 14 days from the date of exposure. The student should contact their health-care provider about getting tested, and monitor their symptoms.
A student who tests positive may return to school after 10 days as long as they have had no fever for 24 hours without medication AND symptoms are improving. Siblings and household members of someone with a positive test result must quarantine for 14 days.
