A LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON AT MART I.S.D.
May 9, 2022
STAAR Testing This Week!
Algebra 1 and Biology (9th Grade) and US History (10th Grade) students will be testing this week along with 8th grade Science and 8th grade Social Studies students.
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.
Elementary students STAAR test next week!
Thank you!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped our teachers feel appreciated last week! A special thank you to First United Methodist Church for a delicious Mexican lunch on Wednesday and a yummy breakfast on Friday! Thank you also to Paige Mann at Texas First State Agency for the cookie cakes she delivered to each campus in the middle of the storm on Thursday. We also had many parents go out of their way with gifts, treats, and words of appreciation. Thank you for supporting our teachers!
Summer Workbooks
We had so many parents requesting summer workbooks that we've ordered one for each student PK-11. As an added bonus, students who return their workbooks completed in August will be treated to Kona Ice!
