Dear Martin Wildcats and Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Martin Middle School! I am thrilled to welcome back our returning students and families, and extend a warm Wildcat welcome to those who are joining our school community for the very first time.
We are incredibly excited to see the finishing touches on our brand new school building! This is a monumental moment for our East Providence and Martin community, and we’re proud to share that we will be moving into the new building during this school year. It’s an exciting time to be a Wildcat, and we can’t wait to create new memories together in our beautiful new space.
As we begin preparing for the school year ahead, I want to highlight a few important upcoming events:
6th Grade First Day: Wednesday, August 27 – We’re excited to welcome our newest Wildcats for a day designed just for them!
7th & 8th Grade First Day: Thursday, August 28 – We look forward to seeing our returning Wildcats and kicking off another great year together.
Meet the Teachers Night: Thursday, September 18, from 6:00 – 7:30 PM – Come tour the campus, connect with teachers, and learn more about the year ahead.
At Martin, we’re committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and academically rich environment for every student. Whether you are returning or just joining us, you are a valued part of our community. Our staff has been working hard all summer to prepare engaging lessons, create welcoming classrooms, and support every student’s success.
To our new Wildcats: We know that starting at a new school brings excitement and maybe a few nerves. Rest assured—we are here to support you every step of the way. You belong here!
To our returning Wildcats: We can’t wait to see you again and watch you shine as leaders and role models in our school.
Let’s make 2025–2026 a year to remember—filled with learning, growth, and Wildcat pride!
With excitement and gratitude,
Laurie Marchand
