A Message from the Principal
The Martin staff has been busy learning and preparing for an amazing sshool year!
For Pre-K and 1st-4th grade students. on the afternoon of August 10, you will receive an email from your child's new homeroom teacher. That night, we invite you to come to campus to meet your child's teacher and to drop off school supplies.
Kinder students will receive an email from their child's Home Base teacher, but will not come to meet the teacher. Instead, you will bring your child to the gym between 7:45-8:00 am on the first day of school where all kinder students will gather. You'll come back Friday at 4:30 pm for Kinder Reveal (aka: Kinder Meet the Teacher). You will bring supplies to this event, rather than August 10th's Meet the Teacher.
If you're new to CISD or maybe you've just never been, mark August 8, 8am on your calendar and come join us at Bobcat Tailgate at the Celina High Stadium. It is morning to come together as a community, meet friends old and new, get some new Bobcat swag, and meet our Celina Bobcat players. Make sure to stop by the Martin PTA table to say hi! We hope to see you there!
We are looking forward to seeing you soon and beginning a record year!
