Hello John Marshall Families!
We thank you all so much for joining us for a number of great events at John Marshall in the past couple of weeks!
The Art Show was a great time! Families enjoyed checking out the art and decorating cookies and buying PTO Bake Sale goodies!
We had a great turn out for Walk, Bike, or Roll to School Day on Wednesday, May 3. Students did a great job practicing safely getting to school. Thanks to Mrs. Wawrzaszek for putting the event together!
Coming up next week, our 3rd through 5th grade students will have the Marshall Track and Field Day on Thursday, May 11. Thank you to Mr. Whalen for planning and coordinating what will be a great event!
Also, a huge shout out to the rest of our staff who have and will help with our spring events. It takes a lot of people to make a lot of great things happen each day here and they are amazing at doing so!
We hope you will join us for the PTO Spring Cookout and Dance on Friday, May 12. Join us for some fun with friends and family and support our PTO and school through raffles and shopping at the book fair! Hope to see you there!
Ms. Patterson

Dear Families
This letter is to inform you that the District will be implementing a new nutrition software system, called “Titan School Solutions”. This new system has it’s own payment center where parents can make online payments into their students meal accounts. As of May 12, 2023 we will no longer be using PayPams. If you have automatic payments setup in PayPams, we ask that you go in to your account and cancel those by May 12, 2023. Please watch your email on May 12, 2023 for the new online payment website and further instructions.
For further questions, please call Wausau School District’s Nutrition Services Department at (715) 261-0806.
Sincerely,
Karen Fochs
Director of School Nutrition Services
Good morning, Wausau School District parents/guardians:
We are reaching out to let you know that the process for summer school medications has changed. If your child requires medication during summer school hours, you will be required to pick up their medication from their home school and transfer it to their summer school site by noon on June 2, 2023. Your child’s health aide will also be contacting you the week prior to remind you of this new change and arrange pick up/drop off times. Please review our medication policy as summer school approaches – Medication Information for Parents As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Nurse Alex Hein, RN at 715-261-0113. Thank you!
