Meet the Teacher Night at Martin Middle School

On Thursday, September 5th over 500 people packed the auditorium at Martin Middle School for Meet the Teacher Night. Parents and families were invited into the MMS Auditorium to hear from Mr. Richard Small, Dean of Students about important beginning of year topics such as: Attendance, Wildcat Pride Wednesdays, Communication, and the Townie Pride Parade. The auditorium was full of enthusiasm and excitement for the beginning of the school year at Martin.

Next families found out what it was like to be a middle school student at Martin as they followed their child’s schedule and went from class to class to meet their teachers. The bell rang every twelve minutes as families moved swiftly from class to class to learn about their child’s day.

The MMS faculty was well prepared and discussed expectations, grading, and what learning would look like at Martin this year. However, the theme of the night was not only the curriculum, but it was the time teachers are spending getting to know their students at Martin. Many teachers discussed the focus on relationship building, team building and icebreakers during the first couple weeks of school. Families were pleased that the teachers were spending so much time building relationships and getting to know the students. Also, many parents commented that there is a very positive vibe and feel at Martin Middle School this year. It was wonderful that so many families attended and took the time to meet the teachers and get a better understanding of what Martin Middle School is all about ...OUR KIDS!!!
