A Message from Dr. Roberts

Martin Families!

Scroll down to see all flyers and some pictures!

Thank you, Martin families, for an incredible Trunk or Treat turnout! Your candy donations helped make the night a success. We are grateful for each of you—and already have ideas to make it more spacious next year!

Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL for students next Friday, November 6, due to staff development. This is a great day to schedule appointments so students can be present on regular school days.

Finally, we are beginning to see a few behavior concerns as students become more comfortable in their classrooms and routines. Please take a moment to remind your child about your expectations for them at school and the importance of showing Martin Pride each day. We want every student to be safe, respectful, responsible, and ready to learn.

💛 Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Growing Together at Martin Elementary,
Dr. Amanda Roberts
