New Perry Weather Service
Curious what the weather conditions are at Mart ISD? Check out our new Perry Weather widget on our website found here: https://widget.perryweather.com/?id=dbb2774a-253f-4168-bce3-1c856b004b0f or at the "Weather Conditions" link at the very top of our website. The site includes the current wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) which is a measurement of how much heat stress a person is under when in direct sunlight. Coaches and administrators will receive alerts when temperatures or conditions are unsafe for outside play and practice.
Game Expectations
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the varsity football season's excitement has begun, we are thrilled to invite you and your children to join us for the games and be part of the energetic school spirit that makes these events so special. To ensure that everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience, we would like to outline some important expectations regarding student behavior at these events.
1. Respectful Behavior: We encourage all students to display respectful behavior towards each other, the players, coaches, referees, and all spectators. This means using positive language, cheering in a supportive manner, and avoiding any actions that could be disruptive or disrespectful.
2. Supervision: Elementary-aged children should be accompanied by their parent to each game. Parents are responsible for supervising their children and guiding them on appropriate behavior during the event.
3. Safety: For the safety of all attendees, avoid running or playing in the stands or on the sidewalks. Students are also not allowed on or around the baseball or softball fields. It’s important to follow any instructions from event staff and to stay within the areas where adults are present to ensure a safe and orderly environment.
4. Cleanliness: Please help us keep the stadium clean by disposing of trash properly. This contributes to a pleasant environment for everyone and shows respect for our community.
5. Enjoyment: We want all families to enjoy the game and the time spent together. By following these guidelines, we can help create a fun, safe, and respectful atmosphere where everyone can cheer on our team and enjoy the festivities.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. We look forward to seeing you at the games and celebrating our team’s achievements together!
Warm regards,
Amy Stone
