You can support your student's class by purchasing something from their teacher's wish list. Purchases can be made in person or online, and the deadline for those purchases is March 6th. You can use the link below for online purchases.

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.

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.

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.

The Leader in Me family homework for March is all about Habit 7: Sharpening the Saw. Please complete the activity page that came home in Friday folders on 2/27 and return it to the office by March 31st. Remember that completed LIM homework will get you 10 Tiger Tails!! That page is also attached below.

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.
