Congratulations: The Martin Choral Department took part in the Music in the Parks Festival and Adjudication on Saturday and earned a rating of Superior, the highest rating possible. Additionally, the students placed 1st in both their category and the Overall Middle School Choir! Congratulations to all members of the Choir and to Ms. Thomas!

Parent Survey: Our district values your feedback! This month, WCPSS is asking you to take a brief survey to tell them about your experience with WCPSS and Martin Middle School. To ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think. Surveys are available in multiple languages--Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese. 

The survey will begin on April 8th and close on May 17th

From the PTA: 

General PTA Meeting: We will hold a virtual general PTA meeting on May 15th. Please mark your calendars now for the date. More details about time and the meeting link will come.

 

 

Board Leadership Needed: The Nominating Committee is actively looking for parents to fill major board positions including President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer for the 2024-25 school year. Without  these vital leadership roles, Martin cannot have a PTA nor distribute funding to all the programs that support our teachers and students. No experience is required and, rest assured, the current board members are here to help you learn the ropes!

 

Contact communications@martinpta.com and we will find a good fit for you!

 

 

Thank you, Mustang Families, and have a wonderful evening.
