A Message from the Principal
Parent Conference Day is upon us (October 13). Some teachers do conferences before that day, so some of you may have already met with your teacher. We think it is important to meet with every parent about their child's progress as research shows the home-school connection is invaluable for student success. You should have already gotten an email about setting up a conference. If you haven't, make sure you check your spam folder so you don't miss it! Still can't find it? Email your child's teacher to set up a conference!
HOCO (Homecoming) week is right around the corner. The Homecoming Parade is Thursday, October 15, at 5pm. We hope you will come to the parade and show your Celina and Martin SPIRIT! Keep an eye out for our HOCO float. If you plan on checking your child out early that day, please do so by 2:00 and avoid doing so during your child's lunch or specials day.
There will be NO LUNCH VISITORS October 16 and October 30 due to our busy school schedule those days.
