STUDENT ABSENCES
Please call in all student absences at (765) 537-2276 and select option "1" by 9:00AM for EACH day your student will be sick or late. If your student is going to be late to school for any reason, please make sure and let our office know ahead of time (if possible) by calling our office by 9:00AM that morning.
EARLY CHECKOUT....
Students will not be called out of class until a parent is present to sign them out. Please plan ahead for appointments, as we would like to minimize missed class time.
Parent Square
ParentSquare is the MSD of Martinsville’s tool to communicate with Artesian families.
Families may register for an account and set their preferences for how they’d like to receive messages from us. For example, many parents only want to receive a text, while others prefer email, and others choose both. If you download the app (it’s free!), you can also get notifications via the app.
Another feature of the app is that it allows users to select their preferred language.
In emergencies or when notifying school families is urgent, ParentSquare will use all methods of contact, including a phone call, text, email, and app notification (if we have the correct information and if you’ve downloaded the app).
If you do not register with ParentSquare, you will still receive an email when we use ParentSquare to send a message.
If you do not have an email from the MSD of Martinsville inviting you to create a ParentSquare account, please notify your community.relations@msdmartinsville.org and we will send you the invitation. While you do not need to create an account to receive messages from us, you will have greater flexibility to tailor the ways you receive messages from us if you have an account.
Once you have created an account, there are additional resources available to help you tailor your account to meet your own preferences.
Questions? Email community.relations@msdmartinsville.org
Background Checks
In order for you to come to school to volunteer for class parties, field trips, etc. you MUST have a background check on file. Background checks cannot be processed the day you want to volunteer. You must have the check done in advance. You must also provide your driver's license (we will make a copy of it).
*Please note: We are no longer allowing visitors during lunch. Thank you for your understanding.
Water Bottles
Please make sure your child brings a refillable water bottle with their name on it to school each day.
Snacks
We offer snacks to the students each day as needed. Please consider donating prepackaged healthy snacks to your child's classroom.
