I am honored to be the first Principal of Henry L. Marsh, III Elementary School. As the leader of the school, I truly believe that all students can and will learn. I believe that social-emotional learning is just as important as teaching academic content. I take great pride in fostering a positive school climate for students, staff, families, and the community.
Henry L. Marsh, III Elementary School is a wonderful place to learn. Our teachers and staff are dedicated, caring, skillful professionals. Our parent and community support makes a difference in the lives of our students. Our learning community will continue to thrive through student engagement, equitable opportunities, creativity, responsive teaching, and a collaborative approach with high expectations for all students!
Over the next few weeks, we will work as a school team to revamp our school vision and mission statement. As evidenced by our logo we are focused on four core values. Academics, Citizenship, Monarch Pride, and Social Justice. We are the Marsh Monarchs (kings and queens) and we will work to uphold the legacy of the Honorable Henry L. Marsh, III.
One Team, One Dream!
#BetterTogether!

RPS Direct Update - September 24, 2020 (PM)
Dear #RPSStrong Family, I'd like to begin this evening by acknowledging the pain coursing through our community yet again in the wake of the decision yesterday by a Kentucky grand jury not to charge any of the officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor with homicide or manslaughter. Outcomes like this only tear at the unhealed wounds borne by so many within the RPS family. Please check on your colleagues, friends, and loved ones this evening. Please recognize that they may need extra time and space to process this latest injustice. And please be there for them, in whatever capacity they need. Thank you. I also want to take a moment tonight to express my profound gratitude to Karla Ramos (Manager, Office of Multicultural Affairs for the City of Richmond), Fernando Rodriguez (Communications Director, Richmond & Henrico Health Districts), Jannette Duhart (RPS Bilingual and EL Coordinator), and Yahusef Medina (RPS Bilingual Family Liaison) for a candid, insightful, and educational discussion on RPS Live! yesterday about the Hispanic/Latin-American/Latino/a/x community in Richmond and RPS. A big thank you as well to Carlos Hernandez, our interpreter for the evening. If you missed this episode, I strongly encourage you to check it out here. With great appreciation, Jason

RPS Direct Update - September 24, 2020
Dear #RPS Strong Family, I'm reaching out with this special RPS Direct to share that an RPS employee has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual is a staff member at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School and was last at the school on 9-3. At the direction of the Richmond City Health Department (RCHD), we encourage anyone who was present at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School on the date listed above to monitor their symptoms and reach out to their primary care provider if they have any concerns. Individuals can also contact RCHD’s COVID-19 hotline at (804) 205-3501. Our number one priority remains the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. We will continue to work in close collaboration with the Richmond City Health District to ensure the well-being of the entire RPS community. If you have any questions, as always, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best, Jason
