Principal's Message

Bulldog Families! 🐾 Welcome to the 2026–2027 Laredo ISD school year! I hope you all enjoyed a restful, fun-filled summer with family and friends. There is a special kind of energy that fills the air, and I can say with total confidence that our J.C. Martin Bulldog family is more ready than ever to unleash a fantastic year of learning, growth, and achievement. Our teachers, support staff, custodians, and administration have been working tirelessly around campus to ensure that Day One is nothing short of incredible. This school year, our focus remains on fostering academic excellence while building a strong, inclusive culture where every student can shine. Whether your child is stepping onto our campus for the very first time as a Pre-K or Kindergartener or entering their final year as a 5th-grade leader, we are committed to making this year memorable and impactful. We also know that strong school-family partnerships are the secret to student success. We encourage you to stay connected, join us for family events, engage with classroom communications, and jump into school activities whenever you can. Warmest regards, Amy Cruz, Principal J.C. Martin Elementary
