Dear Hilltopper Families,
We are fortunate that we have been a relatively healthy community, especially related to COVID. We are seeing an uptick in cold and flu symptoms in the student community, and we appreciate that students are remaining at home when they are ill and that families are seeking COVID testing. Please contact the Health Center (healthcenter@marshallschool.org) to report symptoms and for guidance. Our continued attention to health and safety will keep us all healthier.
TRAVEL/GATHERING PLANS OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK Thank you for filling out the Holiday Travel Survey from Kevin Breen's email last week. We were heartened to learn that our families (over 185 respondents) are considering the health and safety not only of their families, but also the greater community. Approximately 95% of respondents reported that they will not travel nor attend a large gathering for Thanksgiving, and over 90% of those who will travel or be a part of a large gathering responded that they will self-quarantine and/or test upon return. We are grateful for everyone's attention to health and safety when making holiday plans this year.
Students who missed having their picture taken last Monday can plan to have their picture taken on Friday, November 13. Please visit mylifetouch.com to select packages and pre-pay for school pictures. Use Picture Day ID EVTXWSDF3.
