Book Fair evening event was a huge success. Clifford had lots of fun meeting our Martin Mustangs. Thank you for coming by!

At Martin Elementary, we recognize students who go above and beyond during the school day. Teachers submit names for Champions of the Week and one student per grade level is chosen. They receive a certificate, a pencil, and have their picture taken to be placed on a bulletin board in the building. Below are the names of the Champions of the Week for the week October 3rd:

Kinder - Esmeralda B.

1st Grade - Naomi B.

2nd Grade - David H.

3rd Grade - Mayrin O.

4th Grade - Yaneli C.

Congratulations to each of them!

Parents,

Please make sure your children are reading a good book and logging into the HUB to practice at least 30 minutes of IStation and iReady each evening. Also, remind them that we have the 40+ Book Challenge going on right now.

Please take a moment to take the Library Wish List Survey so we can gauge what parents may want to see within the new library space. Your input will be taken into consideration and given to the design team as they move forward to finalize the plans. Click on the Library picture below to complete the survey.

Come take advantage of our free classes, learn, and have fun! See schedule below...

On Tuesday, October 11th, students are encouraged to wear traditional Hispanic attire in honor of celebrating Martin's cultural diversity.

Celebrate with us by dressing up accordingly each day. See schedule below...

• Thank you to our cleared volunteers who have already helped chaperone 3 successful field trips this year and helped during our Book Fair this week.
• Thank you to our kinder and 3rd grade parents who made sure we had successful field trips this week.
• Thank you to parents who made sure student permission slips were signed and brought back on time, lunches packed, and students in requested mode of dress with their ID badges on.

Field Trips have already started and becoming a cleared volunteer takes 3-4 weeks from start to finish.

If you would like to come to Martin and volunteer in different areas including Field Trips and school events, please click on the picture below to access the application. 2022-2023 applications are being accepted now.

Every minute counts at Martin Elementary. From the moment our students our greeted at their classroom thresholds at 7:40 AM until the moment we dismiss at 3:20 PM, learning is happening. Martin overall attendance for September is 96%. Our campus goal is 98%. Please work with your children to ensure they are healthy and at school every day and arrive by the tardy bell of 7:55 am. If they are going to be absent, don't forget to send a note with your child upon their return.

The following classrooms had 99% attendance for the month of September:

Ms. Lazo's 2nd Grade Class

Ms. S. Garcia's & Ms. A. Nguyen's 4th Grade Classes

No school for staff or students. Enjoy the 3 days off!

Please stay safe and take some time to play family games which reinforce taking turns and strategy. Be back to school on time on Monday, 10/17.

Report Cards will be sent home on October 20, 2022 with every student. Make sure you check your child’s grades through Home Access and contact their teacher to set up a parent/teacher conference before the close of the marking period if you have any concerns.

Have you spoken to your child's teacher about their progress? Did you miss MC^2 night? Call them and set up a conference to discuss your child's academic progress or any concerns.
