Our year at school has been going very well so far. The pace of construction has slowed considerably due to classes being in session and the long holiday weekend. I have met with the construction manager and a plan is in place for work to continue on weekends and after school times. Some work may be done during school hours if it is not too noisy or disruptive to the classes. We are excited about the many changes that have already occurred and look forward to the ongoing progress.
Back to School Nights are coming up! Our TK and Kindergarten Parents will meet with their teachers on Wednesday, September 13th and 1st to 5th grade parents will meet with their teachers on Wednesday, September 27th. Note that these are adult only events. Child care will not be provided and children may not be on campus unsupervised. Please see the articles regarding grade level specific information and times on our website.
As always, thank you for sharing your children with us and your ongoing support of our school and our Parent/Teacher Association!
Since this may be your first experience with the public school system, it is very important for you to attend Back to School for your child’s class. These meetings are intended for parents only, so please do not bring your child/ren with you. This is an opportunity for you to hear about the instructional program at your child’s grade level, learn about classroom and school site policies and procedures, get to know your child’s teacher, and ask questions. We hope that you will join us on Wednesday, September 13th at 6:00 p.m.
During Back to School Night, you will have an opportunity to hear from our Parent/Teacher Association representatives and learn more about all of the work they do to support our school. All TK and Kindergarten parents will meet together at the beginning of the evening in the cafeteria before proceeding to their child’s classroom. Here is the schedule:
6:00 to 6:30--All parents meet in the cafeteria for general information
6:30 to 7:30--Parents will meet with their child’s teacher in the classrooms.
This year, Back to School Night for 1st to 5th grade will be held on September 27th. These meetings are intended for parents only, so please do not bring your child/ren with you. The schedule will include a session with your individual teacher(s) as well as a general meeting for all parents. The schedule is as follows:
6:00 to 6:30--Parents of students in 1st to 3rd grades meet with their teachers in the classrooms
6:30 to 7:00--All parents meet on the grass area in front of rooms 10-12 for important information from the principal, our PTA, and to meet all of the teachers. Tables will also be set up to purchase Marshall Lane spirit wear and to find out information about the PTA, Project Cornerstone, Art Connections, and volunteer opportunities.
7:00 to 7:30--Parents of students in 4th and 5th grades meet with their teachers in the classrooms.
Even if you have had children at Marshall Lane for many years, Back to School Night is still an important event. It is an opportunity for you to hear about the instructional program at your child’s current grade level, learn about classroom and school site policies and procedures, get to know your child’s teacher, and ask questions. We hope that you will join us on Wednesday, September 27th at 6:00 p.m. for this important meeting.
At Marshall Lane, we have a strong tradition of maintaining close ties with our parent community through our PTA. By working together, the experience of our students at the school is greatly enhanced by volunteer participation as well as by programs that are funded for all students through this organization.
Whether you are new at Marshall Lane or are a seasoned parent here, we welcome your support by attending our PTA Meetings and participating in whatever manner suits your talents and your schedule. Our dynamic PTA Board is ready to lead you in the activities and events that support your students. We hope to see you on September 19th for this important meeting!

A Message from the Superintendent
With news about changes in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we want to remind our families that Campbell Union School District is committed to welcoming and supporting all students and their families, regardless of their immigration status.
Last spring, our Governing Board adopted a Resolution Reaffirming Support of Immigrant Students and Families, which reaffirms that support and provides guidance about how to provide it within legal parameters. The full text of the resolution is available online at campbellusd.org/policy, or in print from the District Administration, 408-341-7254 or ask_us [at] campbellusd.org.
As you know, extreme heat has been predicted for today. In addition, there is also a “Spare the Air Day” scheduled due to the likelihood of the worst air quality in many years.
A special meeting for parents of all English Language Learner students will be held this Friday, September 1st, in our staff lounge at 8:30 a.m. It is called an English Language Advisory Committee meeting. Information will be presented by Denise Kilpatrick, district coordinator for our English Language Development Program and our own English Language Development teacher, Pat Tappan. We hope that you are able to join us to find out about the assessments that we use and our instructional program for English Language Learners. See you on Friday at 8:30 in the staff lounge.
Thank you very much for your flexibility and understanding during the first few days of school. Despite some challenges that the construction presented, the opening of school this year went very smoothly. We appreciate your support, as always!
Our first two all school PTA events—the Welcome Back Coffee and the Family Picnic—were very well attended. Parents and students were able to ease back into the school year, catch up with old friends, and meet some people who are new to our school. A special thanks to Lauren Froman and the entire PTA Board for all of their hard work and support of these events. Our staff looks forward to partnering with you to benefit all of the students at Marshall Lane.
