The Martin Memo
A School Newsletter for Parents and Guardians
August 2, 2024
A Message from the Principal
This week, we met our newest and smallest Bobcats, our kindergarteners! They are amazing and we can't wait to have them, along with the rest of our kiddos, back in our building!
School starts in less than 2 weeks, so you might want to start transitioning to earlier bedtimes and wake up times to prepare for the change! It's also time to prepare for school. Don't forget...
1. School supplies (list linked below)
2. Sneakers (which are required for participation in PE)
3. Refillable water bottle
4. Healthy snacks that do not require utensils
And...label EVERYTHING with your child's first and last name...jackets, backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles. You don't need to worry about labeling supplies. Your child's teacher will take care of that.
You have another chance to be a member of the Roo Fan Club! You can order your shirts in your student's house colors or orange. We wear house colors on Mondays and orange on Friday.
If your child is new to Martin, they will draw their house color on Meet the Teacher Night or the first week of school.
Newsletters will now start coming out weekly. More info about Meet the Teacher in next week's newsletter.
