Open House and Back-to-School Information

Hello, Marsh Monarch Families! 

This school year, we are leveling up in every way: academics, attendance, and citizenship! We are excited to welcome you back for what is going to be our best year yet!

Join us for Open House on Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Families may drop in at any time during this window to meet their child’s teacher and prepare for a successful school year.

Important back-to-school information has been mailed to each family, including your child’s homeroom assignment. You should receive it any day now. Please bring the mailed card with you to Open House.

School supply lists are available by scanning the QR code included with this post or by visiting the link below:

Please remember that the RPS clear backpack policy remains in effect. Every student will receive a clear backpack at Open House, so families do not need to purchase one unless they would like to do so.
