Each year, all families in our district are required to complete the Annual Family Check In for the upcoming school year. During this check in, you are asked to review all information about your household and make any necessary changes so we have the most up to date information for your student and family.

The Annual Family Check In is accessed through your Parent Portal account using the instructions below.

Every class has snack time 1-2 times daily. Please make sure students are bringing snacks from home each day. The snacks in the office are for the occasional snack if forgotten. Thanks for your help!

Skip the search. Skip the walk. Park like a VIP!

Each month, we’ll raffle off exclusive rights to the VIP Parking Spot — the best spot on the lot, reserved just for you. This spot is reserved for the winner of the raffle during drop off and pick up times.

• 🚘 Closest, most convenient space — right by the front entrance
• 🏆 Reserved just for you all month long, during drop off and pick up
• 🎯 Tickets just $20 each
• 📅 Winner drawn monthly on the last Wednesday

Enjoy the convenience and bragging rights that come with pulling right into your very own VIP space.

Please join us for the final School Accountability Advisory Committee of the year. We'll meet on Tuesday, March 31 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Carrie Martin's computer lab. You can also join online. We'll discuss next year's staffing plan, as well as mid-year iReady data. All are welcome, and there's no need to RSVP. See you Tuesday!

Please refer to the document, "How sick is too sick", from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) when deciding if students or staff should stay home due to symptoms of illness. Reach out to your health office staff or Kristi Street with questions.

Every month at Carrie Martin we provide students the opportunity to talk about Leader In Me at home through family homework. While this is completely optional, it allows students to connect the 8 habits they learn at school to home life. The habit of the month for April is Habit 8: Find Your Voice. The worksheet below was sent home in Friday folders on 3/27. Turn it in completed by April 30th to receive 10 Tiger Tails!

There’s still time to insure your student’s chromebook! Learn more about insurance options and pricing on our website at tsd.org/its > Tech 4 All > Chromebook Insurance. One break is typically more expensive than the cost of insurance.

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.

The Boys & Girls Club will be offering after school care at Carrie Martin this year. Use the link below for more information about their hours, costs and how to sign up.
