The Martin Memo
A School Newsletter for Parents and Guardians

A Message from the Principal
I can't believe November is here (and we've yet to have a cold front). We'll be having a STEAM day the week before Thanksgiving. Please see below on household items we need sent in to make this day possible. A big need is masking tape, so if you can send in a roll or two, that would be super helpful.
5th grade parents (and anyone who wants to see an amazing tribute to the Beetles), please note the 5th grade concert will be held Monday night at Martin (6pm). This is a location change due to district scheduling conflicts.
Save the date for Dinosaur George at Martin from 4:30-6:30 on November 13. This is a family friendly event and is super cool!

Tuesday, September 10, is our first day for lunch visitors. A few things to remember:
- Check-in at the front office and obtain a visitor sticker. Wear the sticker during. your visit.
- Please sit at the designated visitor tables with your child. The courtyard tables can also be used.
- Students are not allowed to invite friends to sit at the visitor table.
- Parents may bring lunch for their child only. The sharing of food with other students is prohibited.
- Taking pictures or video of other students is prohibited.
- When students begin to clean up, it's time for your student to return to their table and for parents to be on their way. Please return directly to the office to turn in your badge before leaving. Parents should not walk their child back to class.
