Marshall North Elementary School

Marshall Schools will be closed on Wednesday, February 2, due to anticipated severe winter weather throughout the day. Games and practices for Tuesday evening are still on. Wednesday games and practices have been cancelled. Games will be rescheduled if possible. This will be a traditional Emergency Day that will be made up at the end of the school year.

As you are aware, CoVid case numbers amongst students and staff are surging in the New Year as they are throughout the community, state, and country. Cold and Flu are on an uptick as well. With the current surge, we continue to do our best to stay open on a daily basis and keep activities going for our students and community. With heightened case numbers, please continue to watch your student for symptoms and sickness. When in doubt, keep your student home and if symptoms persist, contact your medical provider. CoVid Testing is still available with our school nurses. School CoVid #'s are updated daily on the front page of the website. Updates with Joey O continue on WMMC every Thursday morning between 8:15 and 8:30. Stay healthy and thanks for your cooperation!

As of today, the IDPH and ISBE announced that schools and health departments will be able to follow the new quarantine and isolation guidance recently issued by the CDC for the general public that would decrease isolation and quarantine in many, but not all cases down to 5 days. We have been in communication with the Clark County Health Department, and they are able to begin this practice today. Clark County Health is reviewing the release dates for our staff and students that are currently in isolation and quarantine to see if any of those qualify to be adjusted.
