Mr. Manuel G. Escalante, Principal
J.C. Martin Parents,
We have
ended our 4th Six Weeks with very good news. We are thrilled that out of 26 Texas schools
nominated for 2019 National Blue Ribbon honors, J.C. Martin has been one of
them. Such honor shows the dedication and commitment of our faculty, staff, and
students together with our parents and community.
During our 5th
Six Weeks, we will begin our testing season. Please take note of these important
dates:
February 18th
to March 7th – Benchmark Testing
1st to 5th grade
students will be taking benchmark tests.
February 26th
to April 3rd --- TELPAS Assessments
2nd – 5th grade
bilingual students will be taking the online TELPAS.
During this
important time of year, we ask you for your support. Please have the children
go to bed on time, come in early for breakfast and continue to motivate them to
try their best.
On another
note, we will be having some events for our students. We have Career Days
scheduled for our 3rd-5th graders. We urge you to see
your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
In addition,
GT testing has ended and results should be here in May. As soon as the results
are in, Ms. Pineda, our counselor, will be contacting the parents of all the
students who were tested.
Furthermore,
if you would like to become a parent volunteer, please see Ms. Karla Valdez,
our parent liaison.
Warm regards,
---Manuel G. Escalante, Principal
