George C Marshall PTSA

Statesman Start

We will host our Statesmen Start back-to-school kick-off on Thursday, August 20th, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.

Statesmen Start is an opportunity for our community to reunite. Spirit wear, yearbooks, and other items will be on sale. Clubs and organizations will also be present. School staff will be available to process ParentVue requests. 

Marshall faculty and staff will be available to hand out Chromebooks for every rising 9th grader and every student new to Marshall. Once a student receives their Chromebook, they will need to turn it on and log in before they leave the building.

We will have parent and support stations to support you with signing up for ParentVUE and to aid in filling out free and reduced lunch applications.

Orientation Info:

Get ready, new Statesmen—this is your moment! On Friday, August 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., we are rolling out the red carpet for all incoming 9th graders and students new to Marshall. This is your chance to walk your schedule, meet your teachers face-to-face, and connect in small groups with our incredible faculty and student leaders—all before the first bell even rings. You’ll leave feeling confident, connected, and ready to own this school year.

Parents and guardians, you’re invited too! Join us in the auditorium from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for a special session designed just for you. Learn what it takes to help your student thrive at Marshall, get your questions answered, and become part of our community from day one. This program is optional, but we highly encourage you to come be part of the excitement!

Students should report to the auditorium for the opening session. Please ensure that your student is at the respective elementary/middle school at least 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
