STUDENT INFORMATION UPDATE
The Marshfield Public Schools will now be using workflows in the Aspen Family portal to complete the "back to school" emergency contact forms that have traditionally been done on paper. Parents/guardians will need to use their Family accounts (not Student accounts) to complete the "Student Information Update" workflow for each student, and the "Parent Information Update" workflow for themselves.
Instructions for completing the information update workflows can be found here: https://bit.ly/2NGfedW
If you are unable to log in, please contact aspen@mpsd.org.
BOX TOPS CONTEST
· Send in your Box Tops anytime through 10/18/19.
· For every 10 Box Tops submitted, that student’s name
