Help us improve SAAC!
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.
Carrie Martin Rally Days at AFW - March 20 - 29!
How Sick Is Too Sick?
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.

Chromebook Insurance Options for Families
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.
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.
