Human Sexuality Consent Forms
A gentle reminder that parental consent forms must be signed and returned for students to be able to participate in the human sexuality module of health and physical education. Forms for all grades were sent home before the strike, and again once in-person learning resumed. Please returned the signed consent form to your Homeroom teacher ASAP. These modules will begin January 2026.
MSS Coffee and Conversation
Our first coffee and conversation will be held Friday, December 12 @ 10:00am in the Marshall Springs staff room. Coffee and snacks will be provided. Coffee and conversation with school administration is an opportunity for MSS school community members to engage in casual conversations regarding life at MSS. All MSS community members are welcome. Trustee Nancy Close and our area director Kenny Yeung will be attending this conversation.
The next school council and MSEC meetings will take place on January 26, 2026 @ 5:00pm at Marshall Springs. If you are unable to attend in person, there will also be a live stream available through Microsoft Teams.
