Principal's Message

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,
 
Welcome to the start of a new school year! I am thrilled to embark on this journey with each of you as we strive to make this year memorable and impactful.
 
At our school, we believe that every student has unique strengths and potential waiting to be discovered. Our mission this year is to find the best in every child, nurturing their talents and encouraging their growth. We are dedicated to creating an environment where each student feels valued, understood, and supported.
Our theme for the year is "Leading with Heart." This means approaching every interaction with kindness, empathy, and a genuine desire to uplift one another. It is our collective responsibility to foster a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging and purpose. By leading with heart, we can overcome challenges together and celebrate our successes with joy.
 
Teachers and staff, your dedication to our students' success is inspiring. You play a crucial role in shaping their futures, and I do not doubt that your passion and commitment will make a lasting difference.
 
Parents, your partnership is invaluable. Your support and involvement are key to creating a nurturing environment where your children can thrive. Together, we can ensure they receive the best education and opportunities possible.
Students, I encourage you to embrace this year with enthusiasm and an open mind. Be curious, be brave, and most importantly, be kind to one another. Remember, each one of you has something special to offer, and we are here to help you shine.
 
Let’s make this year extraordinary by finding the best in every kid and leading with heart. Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and endless possibilities!
 
 
Warm regards, 
 
Cheyenne Calderon

Dear Parents and Guardians,
On behalf of the Faculty at Martinsburg Elementary, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in MES Parent – Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 4th or Tuesday, November 26th. Conferences present an excellent opportunity to schedule time with your child’s teachers to review academic progress, ask questions, and plan for future success. Conferences will be held in person this year.

To schedule a conference, visit the links listed below which allow you to conveniently schedule conferences according to the day and time that best suit your calendar. Please sign up for one time slot for your child’s homeroom teacher. Specific directions for scheduling your conference times are found on the links below. Any teacher who is not listed on the website will view the schedules and do everything possible to make plans to attend your child’s conference if he/she receives services. This includes the speech teacher, reading teachers, special education teachers, and possibly specials teachers (art, music, library, and physical education).

If you plan to pick up your Marianna’s sub order on the night of parent/teacher conferences AFTER 5:00, please fill out this form:
