Dear Hilltopper Families,
We want to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. We remain grateful for our Hilltopper community and all that everyone has done to keep our community healthy and safe during the pandemic. We know that we've asked a lot of you, and we need to continue to ask you to make choices that will allow us to return to in-person learning as quickly as possible.
We all need to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19. Small sacrifices now will make a difference. We need to see COVID rates in the greater community decrease, and we need a healthy Hilltopper community in order to consider a return to in-person learning. Let's do our part.
#ToppersTogether,
Heather and Karen
HOMEWORK FREE BREAK The Thanksgiving break is a time to rest, relax and restore ourselves. As has been our tradition, the break is a homework free break so students can enjoy time with their family and reset for the last 5 weeks of the semester.
During the Thanksgiving break, offices will have reduced staffing. Building hours are 8:30 - 3:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, and 8:30 - noon on Wednesday. The building will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.
SCHOOLOGY GRADEBOOKS Teachers will use the break to update their gradebooks. Grades for this past 6-week term will be up to date in Schoology by the end of the school day on December 1. The grades posted in Schoology at that time are a snapshot of where your child's grade is at that moment. It will continue to evolve through the end of the semester, which is on January 15.
COMMUNICATION Please continue to stay in touch with the Health Center about illness in your family. In addition to COVID-19 exposure or positive cases, the Health Center also tracks influenza and other illnesses affecting the health of our community. Email healthcenter@marshallschool.org. Grandparents & Grandfriends Day Have you registered your grandparents / grandfriends to receive the link for the first-ever virtual grandparents' day experience? Instead of the traditional program on campus, we have been working on a way to bring our grandparents into the classroom with a special behind the scenes video. We are asking our Hilltopper families to use the link below to fill out their grandparents' contact information by Wednesday, November 18th so they can receive this special video.
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.
