School News

Due to popular demand, Campbell Union School District’s math and technology coaches Amanda Haughs and Lindsey Blass are hosting additional parent math mornings for Marshall Lane families! They will be covering the shifts in Common Core math instruction and the ways that parents can support their children at home with CCSS math.

 Here are the dates for the meetings:

Friday, December 11th at Campbell Middle School from 8:30 a.m. to10:00 a.m. for families of middle school students

Friday, January 15th at Forest Hill from 8:15a.m. to 9:45 a.m. for K-5th grade parents

Tuesday, January 26th at Marshall Lane from 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. for K-5th grade parents

 We hope you can join us! 

In order to ensure student safety, our expectation is that students will arrive between 8:00 and 8:20 in the morning.  When they come to school, they are to wait in the breezeway adjacent to the office.  At 8:10, they are dismissed to their classrooms.  At this point, students must line up outside their classrooms.  At 8:17, teachers will open their doors to let students in so instruction can begin at 8:20.  Playing before school is not allowed since there is no supervision on the playgrounds.

 At the end of the day when students are dismissed there are two places where they may wait to be picked up.  One is in the lower parking lot and the other is in the upper parking lot.  Staff members are present there to supervise students until they are picked up.  Students should not be directed to wait by the Sobey Road gate since there is no supervision there and cars cannot stop in that area to pick up students.

Please do not tell your children that they can stay and play after school is over, unless there is another parent who is responsible for supervising them.  Thank you!

Walking is a fun and healthy way to spend time with your child.

In Campbell Union School District, we encourage parents and students to walk or bike to school every Wednesday. For those who live too far, try parking farther away from the school and walking the last block or two.

Since children learn by doing, YOU are your child’s most important role model for learning to walk safely. As you walk, please:

• Obey all traffic signs and signals.
• Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT for moving cars, and cross when clear.
• Time yourself. Practice this weekend to find out how much time to allow.
• Check the weather and dress appropriately (boots, rain coat, umbrella, etc.).

As you walk, you can talk with your child about what you’re doing and explain why.

Each year, we partner with the Sheriff’s Department to practice a lockdown drill.  This is an important exercise in order to keep the children safe in case of a real emergency on campus or in the neighborhood that might require us to shelter in place or lockdown the campus. The drill will begin around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 19th and will be done before lunch time.  If you are on campus during that time, you will be required to participate.
