Welcome from the PTSA
Here we go! We'd like to welcome our returning students and families, as well as all of those new to the Marshall community. And, of course, to our amazing teachers, principal and staff who have worked tirelessly on behalf of our students throughout the summer! It is certainly going to be an unusual school year, and we will all be trying to find our footing in this new virtual school environment. We at the PTSA hope to focus this year on providing information that will be helpful to our students and families in dealing with all of the uncertainty we face. We have several guest speakers lined up this year and are excited to support all of you as best we can. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of assistance to you in any way. Best of luck to all of our Statesmen this year. Let's do this - we are STATESMEN STRONG!

Please complete GCM Digital Consent ASAP
In order to comply with The Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) each parent is required to give FCPS and Marshall High School consent to use certain digital tools that require a student to log in as themselves. Without consent from every parent in each class, our teachers will not be able to use these powerful learning tools after October 1st thus affecting the quality of education we can provide in certain instances.
Therefore, please:
- Go to our website by clicking on this link: https://marshallhs.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources
- Read about the tools we will be using this school year.
- Click on the "Provide Consent" link which can be found in the middle of the page but can also be found here:https://isweb.fcps.edu/iscontacts/techpermform.cfm?secure
- Enter your child's student ID number as well as a parent email address or phone number that we have on file in our SIS systems (the one you use to log into ParentVUE should work)
- Follow the instructions to provide consent for your child to log into, and use, these educational tools.
Once consent is given, it is good for the entire school year.
