Weekly Update for October 7 to 11

October 4, 2019

Dear Students and Parents,


We are off to a wonderful start of the school year. I am really enjoying getting to know your children and working with the wonderful staff at the Marshall! 


I wanted to give you a little bit of an insight into my background. I grew up in Monroe, Connecticut. I graduated from Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts in Math and then moved to Massachusetts to attend Simmons College for my Masters in Teaching. I worked in Natick Public Schools at a 5-8 middle school for 9 years as a 6th grade Math/Social Studies teacher then as a 7th grade Math teacher. Last year, while working on my administrators license and Masters in Education Administration, I was a 7th and 8th grade Math interventionist teacher at a middle school in Waltham. I love animals and the Patriots (Bill Belichick is a Wesleyan alum!).

After school activities began this week and the students were so excited to participate in Minecraft, cooking, volleyball, and more! Progress Reports will be issued on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 through the Aspen Family Portal. If you requested a paper copy of the Progress Report it will be issued the following school day during homeroom period, Wednesday, October 23, 2019. If you have questions or cannot access the Family Portal: email portalhelp@billericak12.com .  


REMINDER: There is no school on Columbus Day - Monday, October 14.


Warmest Regards,


Ms. Marshall
