Over the past week, we have had more rain than usual. This impacts our lunch period since the children need to return to the classrooms to play instead of going out to the playground. On these days, we need additional assistance. A BIG thanks to all of the parents and grandparents who have volunteered to help! We truly appreciate their participation.

If you are available to help out on any days from 11:30 to 1:00, just show up. No need to let us know ahead of time. Also, we still need to fill some vacant yard duty positions. If you are available one or more days per week to assist, let the office staff know and they will explain the hiring process.

Parking Lot Safety

Updated Fri, Jan 18th

Safety of our students is our number one priority. One of the most important times to keep this in mind is during drop off and pick up times. At the beginning and end of the day, our parking lot is extremely busy. We ask that you are aware of protecting the safety of our students as you drive through.

Please drive slowly and use the lane closest to the school to drop your children off. They need to exit your vehicle on the school side. If you are driving through the lot, use the lane closest to the parked cars. The speed limit in the parking lot is 10 m.p.h. We appreciate your help with keeping our students and their families safe.

Support for Others

Updated Fri, Jan 18th

Back in December, our Expect Respect students held a Holiday Craft Fair. The students created beautiful homemade ornaments and gifts to sell. All of the money they raised was donated to two elementary schools that were affected by the Camp Fire.

The principal of Concow Elementary School called last week to thank us personally for the generous donation to their school. They have given the money to their PTA to be spent on something that will benefit all of their students.

The team at Paradise Elementary School wrote a thank you note. Part of it said, “Your generosity will no doubt aid in our recovery and provide hope for our school community. We are beyond grateful to you for the thought and effort that was put into your donation. For those who have lost so much, it means the world to have others think of them and organize such considerate donations.”

Kudos to the Expect Respect students and their adult Cornerstone leaders for supporting this important effort to help these schools recover from their overwhelming loss.

Family Academic Chess Class Begins on January 15th, 2019

Updated Fri, Jan 11th

Academic chess is one of our most popular activities. Numerous students stay after school every Friday afternoon to learn the game and challenge each other.

New to Marshall Lane this year is a Family Chess Night. This will take place every Tuesday from 6:15 to 7:15 in our cafeteria. It begins on January 15th and will continue until March 26th.

This class is an opportunity for children and their parents to learn and practice chess together with a chess master. Parents will be able to spend quality time with their students. The Chess Curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all levels of players. Current Friday chess class students may attend the family nights for free. Only the adult will need to pay for the class.

Our Marshall Lane PTA will be sponsoring a parent education night on Wednesday, January 30^th, 2019. The speaker will be life and parenting coach, Mary Eshen. As you may recall, she provided a parent education night last year about creating independence in children.

Hear about what you should expect by age group—toddler, elementary, middle and high school
Find out how electronics can affect brain development at different stages
Get ideas about setting reasonable, age-appropriate limits in your home without a fight
Learn what parental controls you can use and what to know as your kids get older
Find out what to do when things get out of control
Hear about sexual content and what you should know as a parent

We hope that you will join us to explore the pros and cons of technology for our students.
