A LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON AT MART I.S.D.
April 4, 2022
STAAR Tests Start This Week!
English 1 (9th Grade) and English 2 (10th Grade) students will kick off the testing season this week.
Parents, please help us by making sure that your student gets to bed at a decent hour, eats a good dinner, and gets to school on time.
We know that our students are more than a test score, but we also want to make sure they do their best so that they can have opportunities appropriate for their academic success.
Remember:
- High school students must pass all 5 exams (English 1, English 2, Algebra 1, Biology, US History) before they exit high school in order to graduate.
- STAAR scores determine eligibility for honors courses.

Athletic Physicals May 4th
Dear Parent or Guardian,
On Wednesday, May 4, 2022 we will have doctors from Ascension Orthopedics, Sports Medicine on our High School Campus to give physicals to ALL of our returning student-athletes and incoming 7th graders. The doctors will be here at approximately 2:45 pm. This service will be provided FREE OF CHARGE. All Athletes must have a new and current physical this year on file before they will be allowed to participate next school year.
If you must use your own physician due to insurance purposes or for other reasons please schedule this a.s.a.p. as we would like to have our paperwork and everyone taken care of as we close this school year. Anyone without a physical on file at the beginning of the school year in August will have their schedule changed into a regular physical education class where the physical examination is not a state requirement.
The MISD Athletic Participation Packet is available at the MISD website: www.martisd.org, each campus front office, or from one of the Athletic coaches at each campus. All the forms will be required to be completed prior to physical exam.
Sincerely,
Kevin Hoffman
