Martinez ELC Newsletter

Martinez Early Learning Center is committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and innovative learning environment for our students, that encompasses kindness and fosters foundational skills for all students to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.

We are Safe,

We are Kind,

We are Mariposas Ready to Learn.

The safety of our students and staff is the most important thing at Martinez. We are committed to create a supportive educational environment for every student. We need you help reviewing and updating contact information to ensure the district has correct information in its files, including who is authorized to pick up their students from campus.

During the week of February 10 to 14 we will celebrate kindness at Martinez. We have different ways to dress up and opportunities to perform acts of kindness each day.

• Friday 14th, We love Being Kind. Wear Valentine's day colors red or pink.

Remember all attires for this week must be classroom and playground appropriate.

We will be celebrating our Texan spirit on Friday, February 28. Students are encouraged to dress in their Western attire. We look forward to see our little mariposas dressed up as little cowboys and cowgirls. We will also have a fundraiser. We will take pictures of students with a Texan background for $5. You can pay online or send cash. We will send the information home on Tuesday, February 18.

You can buy now the Martinez shirts for your child. You can come to the school's front office and pay cash or you can use the School Cash App clicking on the link CLICK HERE. The shirt has a cost of $20 dollars and is one of the ways we raise funds for our student fund. We appreciate your support buying the shirt.

Things to remember about attendance procedures at our school:

1) School starts at 8:15 a.m.—students who are not in class at this time are considered tardy. Students who are 30 or more minutes tardy, will be considered as a “POD30”, which is a part-of-day attendance violation.

2) The official attendance time to determine if a student is absent or present for the day is 10:00 a.m., students must be on campus at this time.

3) Dismissal is at 3:40 p.m.—students may not be released after 2:30 p.m. because dismissal procedures will have already started.

4) Students who are picked up before dismissal time will be considered as an “early leave”, which is a part-of-day attendance violation.

5) Excuse notes for absences must be returned no later than 3 days after returning to school.

6) Only 10 parent excuse notes will be allowed per year, without extenuating circumstances.

7) Only 10 doctor/clinic/nurse excuse notes will be allowed per year, without a medical need documented by your doctor and verified by the school nurse.

We are using ParentSquare to communicate with our families. All messages from the district and the school will be sent through this platform. Teachers have the option to use Class Dojo or ParentSquare, be in the lookout from messages from your child's teacher. Please use the links below to dowload the ParentSquare App
