Dear Marshdale Families,

 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. There is a lot of information in today’s message, so thank you for investing the time to read through it all and for clicking the link below to see the full Mustang Weekly.

 

Construction: 

I’m optimistic about returning to school tomorrow (11/27) with good news on the playground. The plan was to have things complete in order for students to play on the new playground this week. I also hope to star the hug and go process on Dec. 2nd. Stay tuned for a final decision and instructions. 

 

Enrollment:

  • Get ready to enroll, Jeffco! Completing enrollment is important, not just for planning the upcoming school year, but also to help our district prepare for staffing, budget, student resources and much more. 

 

  • Use the School Finder tool to learn more about our school, programs offered, data and more. We hope to see you next year!

 

Marshdale Accountability Committee (MAC):

MAC met on Tuesday, November 14th. We discussed parent survey data from 2022-2023 and what might be done to help address areas with lower marks. The first item we’d like to address: The school shares their overall school performance with families. Our district has created a website called School Insights, which provides information about all Jeffco Schools and the district overall. You can access information about academics, community and student perception and demographic data. (LINK) Feel free to email or call with any questions, concerns or suggestions. We’d also love to have you at our next MAC meeting; December 12th @ 4:15.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a great start to the new year. We are expecting some tired children this first week back. As we welcome students back, time will be spent going over expectations and routines. Our Student Leadership group worked on creating posters that will be hung in different locations around the building to help set a positive tone for the new year. Students will put their thumb prints on the posters to help create a sense of ownership. Make sure to look for them next time you're in the building. A huge Thank You to the Weeks family for donating their time on printing the posters.
