Just a reminder that if you drop off or pick up your child from Mart High School, the flow of traffic has changed. All cars must enter on the gym side and exit on the Ag side of the main building. Parents are not allowed to park in the parking spots and wait for their child. You must be in the pick up line in order for your child to leave with you. We have vehicles trying to exit on the gym side in the afternoons while our buses are trying to leave. We are making these changes for the safety of our students. Thank you for your cooperation.
Tonight’s scrimmage is canceled. Please be safe traveling home.
Scrimmage update: if weather/lightning clears we plan on starting at around 7:30. If it doesn’t get better in the next ten minutes then we’ll have to call it off.
The football scrimmage tonight vs Bosqueville is currently delayed due to lightning. If you arrive at the facilities please stay in your car and away from the bleachers. We will keep you updated.
Next Friday, August 26th, Mart ISD will release at 2pm in order to allow fans to travel to Paris, TX to watch the first varsity football game of the season. Elementary car line will begin dismissing at 1:50pm and the high school dismissal bell will ring at 2pm. Buses will depart at approximately 2pm on their routes. If you have any questions please let contact your child's campus office. Thank you.
Tomorrow's (Thurs. 8/18) Scrimmage vs Bosqueville will begin at 6:30pm in Mart.
Due to low numbers in the Bosqueville program, a format will be used that alternates JV & Varsity.
Happy First Day of School! ES Parking Lot Update: The portion we need is not still under construction so we will be able to loop through the visitor's parking lot like in year's past for car pick up this afternoon. Cones will be there to help guide the lines. High school is reversing it's flow of traffic after seeing some hiccups this morning. All cars (student and parents) should enter on the gym side and exit on the ag building side (opposite of this morning).
We had a great turnout at Meet the Teacher!. Thank you to Enel for providing Kona Ice for our students. Please note the reminders on dress code in the picture attached. School starts at 7:45 tomorrow at ES and 7:50 at HS. We can't wait to see you tomorrow! #PANTHERFamily
Parking Lot update: All parking lots will be completed and open on Monday, August 22nd (except for striping). Most of the visitor's lot will be open by the first day of school on Wednesday (see attached picture, area in red closed through Sunday). Tonight the entire visitor's lot will still be off limits. Thank you for your patience while we finish this important project!
Don't forget to join us tonight on both campuses for Meet the Teacher from 4:30 - 6:00! Enel will also be here with Kona Ice for all district students!

Mart ISD would like to welcome Charity Terry to the #PANTHERFamily. Mrs. Terry will be a paraprofessional on our elementary campus.
Hello everyone, I’m Charity Terry and am so very excited to join Mart Elementary as a SPED paraprofessional. I’ve been a proud Mart Panther since the 5th grade! I married my high school sweetheart, Michael, 34 years ago. We raised our 4 children here and 5 of our 7 grandchildren will also be Mart Panthers. The other 2 will be Abbott Panthers…..as long as they are Panthers, right? I love spending quality time making memories with my family and being active with my grandchildren. If you hear your elementary babies refer to someone as Nonny, that would be me. They have probably heard my grandchildren telling everyone exactly who I am. I have no problem being their Nonny too! 💕
