Parents,
Mark your calendars for next Wednesday, October 23rd. Sgt. Douglas with Mart Police Department will be providing a parent presentation at 6pm in the high school gym. This presentation is appropriate for parents of all ages of students. He will give accounts of actual cases and situations that he has experienced while working in Mart. The more we know as parents, the better we can protect our students from these threats. Due to the nature of some of the content, students are not allowed. If you need childcare, please contact Betsy Burnett at betsy.burnett@mymartisd.org and the district will make arrangements.

Due to a power outage, Mart ISD will delay classes until 9am today. Buses will run an hour and a half later than usual.
The Mart Youth Volleyball teams were recognized tonight at the high school games vs Italy. Thank you to all of the volunteers that make this program possible for our Panthers in Training! #PANTHERFamily

Later that evening, the Mart Panthers will take on the Hubbard Jaguars.
