SPELLING BEE AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE

At the bee, it is appropriate to acknowledge the students who have prepared for this contest. However, interruptions during the event are a distraction to the speller, pronouncer, and judges. Please follow these simple guidelines as an audience member during the bee.

General Etiquette: No mouthing, calling out of letters, or help in any way may be offered to the spelling bee participants. Spelling participants have studied and worked hard to be a part of this spelling bee. Please extend participants the courtesy of not speaking or distracting them during the competition.

Applause: Silent Applause for the spellers is acceptable at the end of each speller.

Children: Children who are not participating in the bee are asked to sit quietly with their parents or guardian. Young children may have difficulty sitting through a spelling bee. If a young child becomes disruptive, we ask that you please exit the cafeteria as soon as possible.

Cell Phones: We request that cell phones are turned off or placed on silent during the bee. Photos of the event: We ask that during the bee flash photography is not used. If you take photos without a flash during the bee, please take them from your seat in the gym.

Thank You!

Head Lice Reminders

At Martin Elementary, we know and value the importance of being at school ready to learn every day. But we have to be healthy in order to do so. This includes free of nits and lice. Take advantage while you do laundry this weekend to wash out all pillow cases, sheets, blankets, stuffed animals, jackets, hats, mittens, sofa pillows/blankets, and deep vacuum carpets and rugs.

To reduce the number of head lice cases, please remember our Martin mode of dress for hair: long hair (regardless of gender) should be pulled back in a ponytail, bun, or braids.

Please talk to your child(ren) that hats, jackets, brushes, scarves, and hair ties should not be shared between classmates and friends.

Please be proactive and read the district reminders below...
