Mart Elementary would like to welcome all parents and students to Meet the Teacher Night on Monday, August 16th from 5-7 pm. You can drop off your child’s school supplies and receive help registering your new or returning students if you haven’t already done so.
We are also happy to announce that we will be allowing parents to walk their students to class on the first day of school if they would like. However, in an effort to promote independence, we ask that parents drop students off at the front door beginning the second day. If you have a Prekindergarten or a Kindergarten student who is a little reluctant to say goodbye we encourage you to park in the faculty lot and walk them to the front door. If you prefer, you may walk them to the back door near the playground through August 27th. We will have someone there to greet you.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL SOON!

Yesterday was an exciting day for Mart ISD Staff! The Mart Enrichment Foundation treated everyone to a shopping spree at their choice of Mardel or Target. Each staff member had $100 to spend on items that they typically buy for their classrooms. It was a really fun afternoon for a group of very deserving teachers! We appreciate the Mart Enrichment Foundation and all that they do for our district.
