Principal's Message

August is upon us and it's crazy to think we are only four weeks away from the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year.  I hope everyone has had a relaxing, refreshing summer and you all have been able to enjoy the summer months in our beautiful community.   The staff has been working diligently to prepare for this upcoming school year through curriculum development, professional learning, and facilities upgrades.  The campus looks absolutely amazing, and I can’t thank our facilities staff enough for their hard work over the summer. 

 

Registration packets are being sent in the mail this week and you should be receiving them shortly there after.  If you have not received it before August 19^th, please contact the office at 541-267-1405.  This year you can verify your student’s information via our online verification through ParentVue (directions in the registration packet) or you can come in during the registration days to turn in the verification forms found in the registration packet.  If you decide to do the online verification, you will still need to come in during registration to pick up textbooks, get your student body card, get an assigned locker, get an assigned parking spot (licensed drivers only), and check out a Chromebook for new students and 9th graders.  However, it will be a much quicker process if you complete the online verification.  We will have in-person registration on Wednesday, August 21^st, and Thursday, August 22^nd, from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.  I cannot stress the importance of attending registration and completing the verification process to make sure that your child is set up for success this school year.  Students will not be able to schedule a time to meet with counselors to discuss schedule changes.  The week of registration is reserved for meetings with new students.  If students have a course change request, we will provide a virtual form for them to complete, and counselors will email students when that change has been completed.  If there is a conflict issue with the desired change(s), then the counselor will contact the student to schedule a meeting. If you are unable to attend registration, please contact our office to find a time to complete the process prior to the first day of school.

 

For many of you, it’s another year at Marshfield Senior High, but for our freshman, it can be a nervous experience.  We will be having a freshman orientation this year on Tuesday, September 3^rd.  This will provide the Class of 2028 an opportunity to start their high school experience with few distractions and hopefully enough support to help them gain some confidence and comfort with being a student at Marshfield.  Students new to Marshfield are also welcome to attend orientation day as well.  Grades 10-12 will begin the school year on Wednesday, September 4^th.

 

August 19^th is the first official day for Fall athletics and activities.  In order to participate on this day, you must register your student via online registration through ParentVue, make sure your physical is up-to-date, and pay the registration fee.  If you need to get a new physical, Waterfall will be providing on-site physicals on August 15^th at Marshfield Junior High School and August 22^nd at Marshfield High School.  If you need assistance with our athletic/activities fees, please complete a waiver form.  If you have questions, you can contact our athletic office at 

 

I hope this last month of summer break provides some time for family fun and rejuvenation.  We are looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year.
