WELCOME!
Welcome to John Marshall Metropolitan High School website. Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year, Marshall High School will enter its third year of a comprehensive, school turnaround process. We are extremely excited about the great things to come at Marshall.
EPAS Testing
The PSAE test will be administered on April 23rd and 24th, Juniors and Seniors (who have not already tested) attend school on those days ONLY.

If you have any questions, please contact the school at 773-534-6455.
Student Tardiness
Parent/Guardian:
Students must be in regular attendance to understand and successfully complete a course of study; therefore, parents and students should accept responsibility for the student’s attendance. Please be mindful that school starts at 8:00 a.m. Therefore, any student who arrives after 8:15 a.m. will receive an Afterschool Personal Development (ASPD) consequence and must serve it the day that is received. ASPD is held Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:35 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. Failure to serve the issued “tardy to school” conseuences will result in escalated displinary actions.
If you have any questions or concern, please do not hesitate to contact Marshall High School at 773-534-6455 and speak with an attendance personnel.
Credit Recovery - Evening School
Marshall’s evening school program for 2nd semester will start the week of February 25th and will end the week of June 6th, classes meet twice a week; on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays classes meet from 3:35-6:35 and on Wednesday’s classes meet from 2:20-5:20. If your child does not attend their assigned class they will be placed on the no activity list and will be ineligible to participate in all extracurricular activities, play on any sports teams, and/or attend any field trip.Students can only have 2 excused absences, three tardies equal one absence, and the sixth tardy will lead to the student being dropped from the program. Students must stay the entire duration of the class (3 hours) in order to receive credit for attendance. If a student leaves early that is considered a half days attendance.
To find out if your student should be signed up for Evening School, please click on the evening school link on the left.
Restorative Justice
Marshall High School practices restorative justice to address matters of student misconduct. Among our restorative approaches, we use peace circle, restorative conferences, and peer jury. Each restorative approach is intended to hold students accountable for their wrong behavior, to provide a voice to the those directly harmed by such behavior, and to provide an opportunity for the offending student to fulfill any restoring obligations that are a result of the student's misbehavior. When appropriate, these restorative approaches are used in lieu of student suspensions when student misconduct occurs. Peer jury will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch periods. Students have been and will continue to be selected to sit on peer jury as a peer juror.
Pathway to Accelerated Student Success (PASS) Program at Marshall

Work your way back through a new program from the Chicago Public Schools that combines small-group instruction and online coursework and provides students with valuable life skills and work-force training at Marshall High School.

PASS will reduce dropout rates and increase dropout re-entry and retention by providing a comprehensive and integrated system of interventions and supports in four basic domains: identification and diagnosis, effective and relevant instruction; behavioral interventions and social supports; and student, family, and community involvement.

For additional informational regarding this program and how to get your student involved, see Mrs. Dionne Kirksey, Institute Director, Room 310A, Marshall Metro. H.S. (Click Link for additional details)

Principal’s Message

Dear Commando Community,

On behalf of the Administrative Team and Marshall’s Faculty and Staff, I welcome you! I look forward to an exciting, challenging, and productive 2012-2013 school year.

Students, please prepare yourselves to enter into John Marshall Metropolitan High with a renewed spirit, the excitement of a new school, and a new school year.

We want to emphasize the new National Standards: Common Core Curriculum which is being implemented district-wide. The standards are designed to promote critical-thinking, real-world application, and reflect the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. Our teachers are already planning lessons and creating assessments to ensure that ALL Marshall students have the necessary skills to meet and exceed district benchmarks. During the school year, students will need to do their very best so that we have an accurate picture of their ability and are able to provide adequate support.

With the addition of this new curriculum, I would like to provide some key reminders as you begin your first year of high school. 1) Be prepared to attend school everyday and on time; 2) Complete all classroom assignments and be prepared for homework every day; 3) Be knowledgeable of the number of credits you have earned and the number of credits you need to meet graduation requirements; 4) Be respectful of all the rules and regulations of Marshall High School and Chicago Public Schools.

Students are also encouraged to become familiar with the John Marshall Metropolitan High School Website at www.marshallmetrohighschool.org. It is the clearinghouse for all school information. School events, schedules, homework, teacher profiles, and other extremely important school information are posted on the website. Finally, please take a look at the one page document about the importance of the freshman year. We need you in school everyday to ensure you stay on track to graduate. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 773-534-6455.

Educationally Yours,

Angel Johnson
Principal
