• 8th graders are expected to have a laptop each day. Both PC and Mac platforms are acceptable. Students should choose a laptop they are most comfortable and familiar with to optimize success. Students will need internet access at home. Questions about technology needs can be sent to Director of Technology, tlockhart@marshallschool.org 

Upper school students are asked to use an organizational system that works to support their academic success. All upper school students must have a laptop to use daily and are encouraged to choose a laptop that they are most comfortable and familiar with to optimize their success. Students will need internet access at home. Students must also have paper and pencil/pens with them daily.

Bussing is provided to students who live within the Duluth Public Schools boundaries. If you would like your child to ride the bus to and/or from school, please email Karen Snyder at ksnyder@marshallschool.org.  Schedules are released the week before bussing begins. Bussing begins on September 7.
