Down Syndrome Awareness Month 2022
National Bullying prevention Month
October in National Bullying Prevention Month, a time to focus and raise awareness on bullying. During this month, we will push out weekly tips and strategies to help bring awareness and ultimately help stop bullying. Please review this information with your Gator, and reach out if the Marsh Administration or counseling team can help support your student. Thanks!
What is Bullying?
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Bullying can also take place through technology, known as cyberbullying. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.
There are many other types of aggressive behavior that don’t fit the definition of bullying. This does not mean that they are any less serious or require less attention than bullying. Rather, these behaviors require different prevention and response strategies.
What to Do If You’re Bullied
There are things you can do if you are being bullied:
- Look at the kid bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off guard.
- If speaking up seems too hard or not safe, walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an adult to stop the bullying on the spot.
There are things you can do to stay safe in the future, too.
- Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel less alone. They can help you make a plan to stop the bullying.
- Stay away from places where bullying happens.
- Stay near adults and other kids. Most bullying happens when adults aren’t around.
Donations Needed for Harvest Festival
Dear Families,
Our annual Harvest Festival is fast approaching, and we have more fun and activities than ever before. Leadership has been busy purchasing activities and treats for the event. However, the need may be greater than expected. Leadership is wondering if you could help support the fun by donating a bag or two of candy prior to October 18th. All candy donations can be turned into the office with a note that says, "Harvest Festival" and Leadership will do the rest.
Thanks for your support in helping our Gators create positive and lasting middle school memories!

Attendance Matters at Marsh Junior High School
Students who attend school regularly and arrive on time do better academically and are more likely to establish work habits that help them succeed in life and work. You play a vital role by helping your child attend every school day possible.
Rules and Policies
There are multiple ways to report your child’s absence. The preferred way is to respond to the notification sent to you in ParentSquare. If you don’t have an account set up for ParentSquare, please click the following link for instructions on how to do so: https://parentsquare.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005259266-Register-for-ParentSquare-from-the-App . If you need instructions for how to report an absence on ParentSquare, please click the following link: https://parentsquare.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028870372-Submit-an-Attendance-Note. You can also use the “Report a student absence” link on the Marsh homepage located on the right side, call (530) 895-4110 and press option 1, or email our Attendance & Counseling Staff whenever your child is absent.
Please provide the following information:
- Child's Name
- Date of the Absence
- Reason for the Absence
All absences must be cleared within three school days or they will be considered unexcused. Thank you for your help.
It is very important that a parent or guardian notify the attendance office when a child is absent. When there is no verification within three (3) school days, the absences are considered unexcused and the student is truant. (ED Code 48260)
Tardy Policy: The school day begins at 8:20 Students arriving after the 8:20 tardy bell must come to the Attendance Office for a tardy slip.
Attendance Letters: Excused Absences: A letter to notify you of Excessive Absences will be sent after 7 absences. Doctor notes will be REQUESTED at this time but after 10 absences the Doctor note will be REQUIRED to excuse the absence.

AVID WICOR Spotlight
This week's AVID WICOR Spotlight is Mrs. Larrance's Math A Class. This week Mrs. Larrance's class used vocabulary foldables to learn about geometric measurements. They started the activity by using their textbook tools to look up the meaning of the vocabulary word. They then went on to write the definition, draw a picture representation, and then show an example of how you solve the measurement problems. This is a great tool to deepen students' understanding around vocabulary and concepts. Great job Mrs. Larrance's class, you are WICOR all-stars and we are so proud of all you are learning!!
