We'd love to see more involvement in our School Accountability Advisory Committee! Please take a moment to fill out this survey so we can better meet the needs of Carrie Martin families. SAAC is a state-mandated committee, but more than that, it's a great chance to dig into the academic, behavioral and schoolwide data that impact Carrie Martin.

There is only one meeting left this year! It will be held in Carrie Martin's computer lab.

Tuesday, March 31, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. (date is tentative, depending on when we receive staffing allocation information from the district).

All are welcome, and there's no need to RSVP. Hope to see you at the next meeting.

Our spring parent teacher conferences will be held on March 4th and 5th. Please use the links below to sign up for a meeting with your student's teacher.

Lost or broken Charging cord?

Visit the Tech4All section of our website to purchase a new, approved chromebook charger. Purchasing from our website is often $10-$15 less than the $25 fine for a missing charger.
