Notes From the Office
Only adults listed on a student's emergency contacts will be able to check out a student from school. In addition, anyone picking up a child, will need identification to be able to check a student out of school.
Every legal guardian is assigned a specific Skyward Family Access Login. This login will remain active throughout your student's enrollment at MSD of Martinsville. You will find this account very helpful in checking attendance, grades, paying for book fees, and student lunch accounts. Please be sure to contact the office, if you need assistance.
Any changes to your child's dismissal procedure need to be sent to Mrs. McCartney before 3:00.
All volunteers must have a limited criminal history and sex offender background check performed by the school every year. Contact the office for more information.
What's New With PTO
PTO meetings take place on the third Wednesday of the month. Please join us Wednesday, September 14 after school for our first meeting.
