Welcome Back!!

It was so wonderful to see students and staff coming together over the past week to open up the 2022-23 school year.

Teachers and staff were able to spend last Monday, August 29th, getting reacclimated to their schools and classrooms as they engaged in a variety of meetings with district and school leaders. The district was also excited to welcome close to 50 new teachers and staff to Marshfield during the districtwide assembly.

On Tuesday, our students in grades 1-12 returned to their schools and they were joined by their Kindergarten counterparts on Wednesday. The youngest MPSD students, our Preschoolers, joined in on the fun today as they began their school year at the DWS & EWS respectively.

Students and staff have been energized and excited about the start of the school year and it has been fun to be able to simply focus on teaching and learning as we gear up for a terrific school year. Below are a few pictures from opening week.

On August 23rd, the MPSD School Committee held their annual reorganization meeting and voted on new leadership for the upcoming school year.

For the 2022-23 school year, the SC Leadership will be as follows:

Chair- Sean Costello

Vice Chair- Brigid Boyd

Clerk- Richard Greer

Member- Lara Brait

Member- Kendra Stetson

The Marshfield School Committee and MPSD Leadership team are excited to begin the process to select the district’s 5th Wall of Honor induction class. The purpose of this honor is to foster pride in our system through recognition of individual achievement of former students, teachers, coaches/advisors, administrators, school committee members and friends of the Marshfield Public Schools.

Wall of Honor Nomination Form

The deadline for submitting a nomination is 4:00 PM, Monday, September 22, 2022. Questions can be directed to WallOfHonor@mpsd.org.

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR! On Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. at the Marshfield Boys and Girls Club, 37 Proprietors Drive, there will be a ceremony to remember this tragic day especially those who died on September 11, 2022.

The Town of Marshfield has been selected as one of the 75 communities designated as a lead public memorial location in America for the 2nd Annual 9/11 Day Flag of Honor Across America Memorials on September 11, 2022. We are proud to be able to gather in Marshfield and keep America’s promise that those tragically killed by terrorists on September 11, 2001 are never forgotten.

Launched in memory of the 20th Anniversary of that tragic day, the first 9/11 Day Flag of Honor Across America Memorials took place in 60 communities in 25 states on Saturday, September 11, 2021, also called 9/11 Day, a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and Patriot Day. This new annual memorial was designed and launched by Global Youth Justice, Inc., and selected by the United States government as one of only five official federal projects to support and co-launch on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Day in 2021.

Despite launching in the middle of a global pandemic, the first 9/11 Day Flag of Honor Across America Memorial Project was the largest national multi-site 9/11 Day Project on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Day on September 11th, 2021, and since Federal 9/11 Day began. In 2021, there were 60 official public sites, and 60 communities united to each hold a 9/11 Day Public Memorial in memory of 50 different victims from the 2,983 women, children, and men who lost their lives on 9/11/01 (2,977 victims).
