6th Graders - Immunization Information
- Students entering 7th grade will need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster shot (Tdap) before starting school. By law, students who do not have proof of receiving a Tdap booster shot will not be able to start school until proof is provided to the school. The tetanus-diphtheria booster shot, Td, will not meet the requirement. We urge you to make an appointment with your child's doctor or at a local clinic, in order to avoid the back to school rush. Turn in proof of immunization to your child's school ASAP.

We are starting the Seven Habits for Happy Kids at Marshall.
Habit one is being Proactive.
PROACTIVE – “ The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
Proactive: to take responsibility for their actions, to acknowledge mistakes rather than blaming others or making excuses, to show initiative, and to remain in charge of their emotions.
Every child is important. Every child has gifts. Every child has potential. Every child can be a leader.
“Leadership is communicating people’s worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” Quoted from The Leader in Me.
Henry David Thoreau “The woods would be silent if no bird sang but the best.”
“Each child is a gift and each child has gifts.”
We believe all Marshall students can be leaders of their own actions and thoughts. Be Proactive this month.
