Next Tuesday we will host a Financial Aid Night for our graduating seniors and their parents. This night will be directed at creating FSA ID's for the FAFSA Application that opens up in December. We will have representatives from Boise State University, University of Idaho and College of Western Idaho to help you. We will also have Herff Jones with us, who handles all of our ordering for cap and gowns. It is crucial that all senior students and parents attend. A translator will be there for all of our Spanish speaking parents.
Parents, you do not need to bring any tax information, just your social security numbers. This will be held from 5:30-7:30pm in the media center. If you have any questions please contact jzarpentine@marsingschools.org.

đHi, Marsing Elementary Huskies, letâs talk about Open House and the First Day of School!
đYou are invited to join us for Open House on Tuesday, August 13th from 4:00pm-6pm. We will have some fun activities outside, including a community dinner, and of course you will have an opportunity to meet your studentâs teachers, visit the student's classroom, and tour the school. We will have transportation information available as well. We hope you will join us.
đYou will find out who your studentâs teacher is during open house. Students WILL NOT be placed into a teacherâs classroom until their registration is complete and all documents have been received.
đŸKindergarten families! We have a large group of students entering kindergarten this year. Please enter the building at the main entrance and anticipate waiting in the âblue gymâ as we move students down the K-2 hallway. After visiting the kindergarten classrooms, families will exit out the playground doors to check out that space. If your family is needing to visit other classrooms, please do that first, or re-enter from the front of the building.
đ„ȘWe ask that every family complete the Free/Reduced meal application, even if you think you wonât qualify. Some funding is tied to the number of applications completed, regardless of qualifications. Please visit https://www.marsingschools.org/page/child-nutrition. While there, also, please create a MySchoolBucks account. Without funds, our student will not be able to charge more than $10. Meal prices and menus are found on this website as well!
đSchool Starts Wednesday, August 14th!
â°Students may not be on campus earlier than 7:15am as there is no supervision for them. The first bell rings at 7:50am and the tardy bell at 7:55am. We start our day promptly and want your student to be ready to learn. Our end of day bell rings at 3:15pm for pick ups and walkers, and 3:30pm for bus riders. It is important that your student is present all day, every day. Please strive to have dental and doctor appointments on Friday. If there is a change in the way your student gets home, please call the office at 208-649-5411 BEFORE 1pm, after this time it is very difficult to assure we get the message to your student's teacher.
đđWe have many new faces at Marsing Elementary - both teachers and students - we are looking forward to welcoming you to the 2024-2025 school year!

National Honor Society Induction and Officer Induction
Dear Marsing Middle School Parents,
As we started this school year, we adjusted our phone policy from previous years by not allowing students to use their phones between 7:30 and 3:22 except during lunch and recess. We have seen a decrease in classroom distractions due to cell phones because of that change. However, we are still having issues with cell phones during the school day.
NEW CHANGES TO MS PHONE POLICY
Beginning on Monday, March 13, the first day of the 4th quarter, we will not allow students to have or use their cell phones between 7:30 and 3:22. Students can have and use their phone before and after school.
REASONS FOR CHANGE
Over the past few months, we have had more students recording other students without their knowledge or permission. While we stop that behavior when we witness it, we cannot stop every instance of recording that is probably taking place.
Not allowing phones is a proactive step to avoid students recording altercations between students and posting the video online, which is a suspendable offense.
Research from across the country is showing that young people are having trouble interacting with other people face-to-face because they spend so much time interacting through devices. We already have times during the day when students are actively using technology and we would like to keep their âtech timeâ as short as possible during school so we can help them learn to better interact with their peers.
Parents can continue to contact their students by calling the school office at (208) 649-5411, ext. 397 and students will still be able to contact their parents by making calls from the office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (208) 649-5411, ext. 396 or by email at bmarshall@marsingschools.org.
Sincerely,
Brian Marshall, Principal
