Welcome to Marshall Elementary School!

On behalf of the entire Marshall Elementary staff, we hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing summer break. We are excited for the children to return to MES! Each year, we work extremely hard to achieve our vision of being a premier school that inspires excellence in academics, arts, and activities for every student every day.


North Allegheny’s educational program is rooted in our community’s respect for the dignity and integrity of all students and families. Our shared mission guides this principle, preparing all students for success in a changing world.


On Monday, August 8 by approximately 6 p.m., your student's 2022-2023 classroom assignment will be available online. If you are unable to see your student's placement in the Tyler 360 Portal by the evening of Tuesday, August 9, please contact the main office. Our Marshall Elementary teachers worked diligently throughout this process to make the best placement decision for each student. They met several times in the spring and summer, recognizing the need to consider gender balance, special services, peer interactions, individual student needs, and learning styles.


As always, we thank our MES families for working together to build a positive school culture. It is going to be another great school year!


Respectfully,


Dr. Thornton

Principal


Mr. Heckmann

Assistant Principal
