Note from Our Principal

Hello Marcellus Families, 

The school year is off to a great start! Thank you for the amazing turn out at our open house that took place on August 20th. It was great to see everyone’s support and to see our students and families. 

As many of you are aware our staff uses Remind or ClassDojo to communicate with our families. Please be mindful that as much as our staff loves and cares about every child in our district, they also have families of their own. I ask that you contact staff during school hours. If this isn’t feasible due to your own work schedule, please be mindful that staff will get back to you when they return to work.  

Please remember that if a student arrives after 8am a parent must sign them in at the front office.

Those parents who are picking up students in the afternoon and / or dropping off in the morning, please have your child(ren) use the door closest to the sidewalk of your vehicle. Any transportation changes, please notify the front office BEFORE 2:30 p.m. 269-646-9209

Yours, 
Mrs. B

Hello Marcellus Families, 

The first full week of May is Teacher Appreciation Week. We will be celebrating the staff each day of the week with a special treat in celebration from May 5^th – May 9th. Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for all that you do for our students, families and school community. We would not be who we are today without YOU! 

When the weather finally gets warm consistently, please remember to send your child(ren) to school in shoes with backs on them. 

Our Wildcat Walk will be here before we know it. We will hold our annual fundraiser on Friday, May 23rd. This annual fundraiser is what keeps our Cats cart filled on Fridays to celebrate students’ excellent behavior, Santa’s Express and special treats throughout the year. 

Please, remember that if your child is sick to call the front office to notify us. Children must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. 

Yours, 

Mrs. B

Hello Marcellus Families, 

Welcome to the 4^th quarter in the 2024/2025 school year. I hope everyone enjoyed your Spring Break last week. 

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION! If you know of a 5-year-old who is looking for an exceptional school experience please have their parents come to Marcellus Elementary on Tuesday, April 15^th at 5:30pm. They will learn about our kindergarten programs and what needs to be filled out and returned to enroll their child.

April and May bring with them state testing for our 3^rd through 5^th graders. PLEASE, make sure that your child(ren) is getting enough sleep the night before the test, arrive to school on time so that they can receive an extra delicious hardy hot breakfast from our lunch ladies, and have time to settle into their day before showing the world how smart they are.

In May we will hold our annual Wildcat Walk. More information on the walk will be coming home with each child in the next couple weeks. This fundraiser helps us provide our students with extra fun activities throughout the year and keep our Friday Cats Ticket Cart loaded with fun prizes for each child.  

Yours, 

Mrs. B

Hello Marcellus Families, 

March is Reading Month. We are trying something a little different this year by trying a book bingo. Each week students who complete a bingo will turn their cards into their teachers on Fridays (no exceptions) for a special treat from Mrs. B and the staff. 

We are going to hold a Family Literacy Night on Thursday, March 20^th from 5:30-7:00pm at Marcellus Elementary. Please see the flyer that will be coming home later this week/early next week. We will have dinner for the families who RSVP using the QR code on the literacy night flyer (if you need to call the office to RSVP please feel free to do so at 269-646-9209). The event will contain read aloud, escape rooms, reading with your child, and dinner. One gift card will be raffled in each grade level for the parents that have students complete 5 out of the 6 activities.  

The drawing for the gift cards will be on Friday, March 21^st. If your name is pulled for your child’s grade level Mrs. B will call you to let you know. 

Our Spring Break is right around the corner. We will not have school from March 28th through April 4^th. Students and staff will return on Monday, April 7^th.  

Thank you to each family that attended our February parent/teacher conferences and supported our annual book fair. We truly appreciate the volunteers and support to make our book fair happen and be successful. 

Yours, 

Mrs. B
