Hello Marcellus Families,

Attendance is a crucial part of your child’s education. Please ensure that appointments are made after school hours when possible.

We have a very busy month ahead of us. Wednesday, February 11th is count day. Make sure to call the office if your child must be absent this day at 269-646-9209.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are on Thursday, February 19th. Teachers will be sending home letters for families to sign up for a conference time. This conference is going to look a little different. IF your child has a sheet with an extra page on the back of it the teacher is requesting a conference. IF you do not receive this form you can still ask for a 10 minute conference by filling out the bottom of the letter and your child's teacher will let you know what time they have available to meet with you. A formal letter will be sent home this week.

Our students will have the opportunity to purchase items from our annual book fair. Each class will be able to walk through the book fair on Monday, February 16th and then shop on either the 17th or 18th (please watch for which day your child’s class will shop the week of the 16th). Our book fair will be open during conferences so parents or special adults can shop as well.

Just a friendly reminder that students will be released early on Thursday, February 19th and will not return to school until Tuesday, February 24th for mid-winter break. IF we go over our allotted 6 snow days Friday, February 20th and/or February 23rd could be used as a make up day.

Yours,

Mrs. B

Hello Marcellus Families,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

If you'd like to wish your child/student a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on their birthday, it can be posted on our digital sign on Main St., in front of the bus garage, from 12:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on their actual birthday. It will be posted for 10 seconds at a time throughout the entire day and will cost just $5 (payment is due prior to posting). The child/student must be attending/enrolled in Marcellus Community Schools. We are promoting this fundraiser for the high school. If you are interested in doing this for your child please contact the high school office at 269-646-5081! Payment may be brought to the elementary office and we will ensure it gets over to Mrs. Wagner and the high school staff.

I would like to personally thank each volunteer that helped make our Santa’s Express such a great success this year. If we did not have our volunteers and our Wildcat Walk donations, this opportunity would not be able to continue.

It is hard to believe that the end of the 2nd marking period is approaching. Remember that attendance is a huge part of your student’s educational success.

Please make sure your child(ren) has appropriate outdoor attire. If they do not, please let us know and we will try our best to help with any needs.

Yours,
Mrs. B
