Fall Fundraiser 2016
Dear Chesak, Martin and D158 Preschool Teachers,
We are excited to kick off this year’s CMPTA fall fundraiser! The key dates for the fundraiser are listed below. As always, we thank you so much for your tremendous support of the fundraiser, allowing K-5 students to participate in the kick-off assemblies, distributing packets, and collecting completed forms and associated money. Our goal is to sell $60,000 in goods so that we can generate $24,000 in proceeds for our schools. As you probably know, in past years funds have support technology in the classroom, STEM lab, and field trips, among other items.
If you have any questions about the fundraiser, please contact us at CMPTA158@yahoo.com. We will be glad to answer. Thank you!

From the Office
Recently staff members boarded each of Martin's school buses, and shared behavior expectations with students and drivers. Martin administration would like for parents to know what these expectations are.
- Students should always walk to and from the bus.
- When the bus is in motion, students must stay seated. Drivers will tell students when they can get up.
- Students should keep hands, feet, and all objects to themselves.
- Students must always use an inside voice while on the bus.
- The drivers' directions must always be followed...no matter what!
- Students should help keep the bus clean. There should be no eating or drinking on the bus.
- Students who bring cell phones to school must not use them on the bus, except in the case of an emergency. The driver will determine if there is an emergency. If a student uses a cell phone on the bus, the driver will take the phone and deliver it to the office. Phones will not be returned to students. Parents will have to come to the office to pick up confiscated phones , and parents will be asked not to let their children bring the phones back to school.
- Students should report all unsafe behaviors to the bus driver immediately.
If these rules are followed carefully, bus rides to and from school are bound to be more pleasant for all. Thank you for helping us stress the importance of bus safety !
