Did you know that the Marsh campus opens at 7:00 AM daily? We welcome students to come early, have a warm breakfast, visit the library and connect with friends on campus.
Please be advised that we do not have school supervision at the 7-11/Great Harvest area. ALL Marsh students who are frequenting this area should be accompanied by an adult. Please be advised that Chico PD will be monitoring behaviors.
Please keep in mind, that if a student is dropped off at the Marsh campus, they are NOT to leave. If a student does leave campus, it is considered a cut, and the student will be assigned Saturday School.

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.

The 5 major fields of robotics are:
- Operator interface: This refers to the Human-Robot Interface that explains how the human and the robot communicate.
- Locomotion based robots: Robot locomotion is the collective name for the various methods that robots use to transport themselves from place to place.
- Component-based robots: In this case, it is the component within the robot that makes it do the specified job.
- Ways of delivering a message to the robot: Commands need to be given to the robots with the help of different means. Today there are over one thousand programming languages and each robot interprets the given instructions in their own way.
- Based on how robots sense and perceive: This component helps the machines identify things in and around their environment and react.
Here are a few ways STEM robotics jobs impact the real world:
Robotics Engineer: Robotics engineers are responsible for designing, testing, and building robots.
Robotics Technician: A robotics technician builds, installs, tests, maintains, and repairs robots.
Robotics Software Engineer: Robotics software engineering is the field where you develop software for robot control and automation.
Robotics Operator: Robots can reduce human effort and save time, but they cannot do any of this without human involvement. They need constant and consistent controlling or at least monitoring, this is where a robotics operator becomes important.

Student Spotlight
When Shubhansh was researching this scientist today, he came across an office phone number for him, Mrs. Metzger coached him through how to conduct a professional phone interview, just in case this guy picked up the phone, and he did!
So Shubhansh and I introduced ourselves to him over speaker phone and then Shubhansh spent the rest of the period interviewing one of his long-time role models for his report! He was elated 😊
He also conducted himself very professionally and represented MJHS well. It was adorable.
