Dot Day on September 17
International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot.
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”.
This year at Martinez, we want to celebrate by dressing on polka dots on September 17. We look forward to see all the ways you can show your dots.

Attendance Reminders
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.
