MC^2 Parent Meeting Night
Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 16th, for Martin’s last MC^2 Parent Meeting (Building Meaningful Connections and Meaningful Collaborations).Teachers will have two sessions, one at 4:30pm and the other at 5:30pm to allow parents to attend sessions for more than one child. Please be on time, as we will not be able to let late comers interrupt the meetings. If you come after 4:30, we will ask you to wait until the 5:30pm session starts. As you come in, you will be directed to your child’s classroom. You will learn about the end of the year grade level expectations and strategies to support their learning at home. We hope that you will be able to attend and take this opportunity to collaborate with our staff and learn strategies to support your child’s progress at Martin Elementary! MC^2 Parent Meeting Night is a time for you to have an opportunity to learn about your child’s progress as well learn strategies and activities to improve your child’s academic performance. 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students will attend the meetings along with you. We respectfully request that students/children pk-1st grade stay home with appropriate care providers. However, childcare will be provided for Martin students during the MC^2 meeting.

Social Media
Parents, social media is on the rise and is an active part of children's' lives. It is important to be mindful of what your child is participating in and posting on social media. We have seen a rise across the country in violence related to inappropriate use/and or abused use of social media. We want to keep our Mustangs safe here at school. We need your help in order to do this; Please make sure your children are not posting or participating in inappropriate activity online, or posting any sensitive information about themselves such as: where they attend school, their full name, or age. We cannot control outside content on social media, but we can do our part to keep our students safe here at school. We appreciate your help in this matter.
