A Message from the Principal
I love Homecoming Week! Bobcat Spirit is legit! Even with some traditions changing due to the rapid growth, it is still so fun to see all the mums, garters, and HOCO floats! Have a good weekend!

Grandparent's Lunch
Grandparent's Lunch is coming! As you know, this is a very popular event, so we are spreading it over 4 days. A sign up is REQUIRED for each lunch they plan to attend. A child may have a visitor ONE day only, so we have enough space for all students to have a visitor. Please read the directions on the sign up carefully! Sign ups close at 8am on October 23.
Please join the PTA!
PTA memberships is opening. Please visit the Martin PTA website to join the PTA.
"Students with involved parents are more likely to have higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school.”

School Cafe
Please complete your free and reduced applications in School Cafe. A new form must be filled out yearly!

If your student is new and does not have a school cafe account, please have them bring lunch or lunch money with them to school or set up an account prior to the first day of school.
You can monitor your students' accounts and place restrictions on their meal accounts in the school cafe. (We highly recommend adding restrictions to their accounts to limit snack items!)
Breakfast is served from 7:25-7:40!
Birthday Picture with Roo
Did you know your child can get a Birthday Picture with Roo?
For a $10 donation, your child will have their bday picture taken with Roo. The image will be emailed to the parent.
Pay on Huddle and then contact the campus Secretary, MeaganDavis@CelinaISD.com a week prior to your child's birthday to schedule.
(This funds raised will allow us to provide things such as a staff shirts, a small bday treat for staff and, an occasional Sonic drink.)
