PreK
PreK learned about gingerbread houses. They made pretend houses in the play area then made real gingerbread houses out of recycled milk cartons!
Kindergarten
Kindergarten had a special appearance from Mr. Heare from Real Men Read. He brought a book that was special to him, "Just Right for Christmas". He also surprised the students with a hand-made red scarf, just like in the story!
Second Grade
2nd graders measured, drew, and cut out life-size penguins to display in the hallway with their penguin research papers.
Third Grade
3rd grade tested to see if light can move through solids, liquids, and gases.When light moves through a liquid, the liquid makes the light rays change speed and direction. That is why your straw looks like it is cut in two when it is sitting in a liquid!

MSD of Martinsville Inclement Weather Plan
As we begin a busy season of school and holiday activities, I would like to make you aware of our procedures and communication plan concerning the possibility of inclement weather:
Weather decisions are made by our team who monitor conditions closely.
When determining a delay, early dismissal, or cancellation of school, countywide weather conditions are reviewed. In addition, we utilize the National Weather Service website @ www.nws.noaa.gov/om/cold/wind_chill.shtml
Communication
Before school, a decision will be made by 5:30 AM and communicated to you and your family in the following ways:
Staff/ parents will be notified through an all-call using ParentSquare. (Telephone numbers are generated from our Skyward database. At your convenience, please check Family Access to ensure your telephone number is up-to-date for this academic year.)
Communication will be added to the district's website and social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MSD of Martinsville
Communication will be sent to the following radio and TV stations: WCBK, WISH 8, WRTV-6, WTHR-13, Fox-59.
This information can also be found on our website, https://msdofmartinsville.org/transportation-and-safety/.
Early Dismissal
As weather conditions in our area can change quickly, an early dismissal may be necessary. We will make a decision concerning dismissal as early as possible then call parents through ParentSquare and communicate information to our website, social media and local media.
I encourage you as a family to develop a weather plan. For example, if parents or guardians work, where should your child go if there is an early dismissal or a two-hour delay?
I hope this information is helpful as we work together planning for inclement weather events. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Eric Bowlen
Superintendent
