A Book For Every Dolphin at the Book Fair
Don't forget about A Book For Every Dolphin! Please see information from our wonderful Class Parents about this crowd-funded plan to ensure that each and every child at Marin can leave the book fair with a book in their hands. If there is room in your family budget, we're asking for a donation of $13 for each child, including an extra $13 to help pay for another child.
Thanks for supporting our library -- a place that serves every child at our school!

Parking & Loading Zones
Our loading zones are designed to keep students safe and traffic moving efficiently. Unfortunately, we have had a variety of serious and unsafe incidents during arrival and dismissal times, especially recently. This is unacceptable because it puts our children at risk. We do not have staff available to supervise the loading zone, so we need EVERYONE to follow the rules below. I know I speak for our entire community when I say that nobody wants to see a child get injured or worse due to unsafe driving. Thank you for your support!!
Pick-up and drop-off rules:
Use crosswalks; do not jaywalk. Do not leave your car unattended in the loading zone. Stay parked in the loading zone only as long as it takes to drop off your child, and no more than 3 minutes. Do not double park, as this blocks the flow of traffic and upsets people. Drivers should be extra cautious on the roads. Look carefully for pedestrians and bicyclists. Obey all traffic laws, including speed limits, at all times. Pedestrians have the right of way at any crosswalk or intersection, so yield and be prepared to stop. Stop at the crosswalk stop line to give drivers in other lanes an opportunity to see and yield to pedestrians too. Avoid blocking the crosswalk when making a right-hand turn. Stay alert and avoid distracted driving. Enter and exit driveways and alleys very carefully. Be cautious when backing up – pedestrians, especially young children, can move across your path. When parked on the street, check for other drivers and cyclists before opening doors.
If you see unsafe driving behavior, please do not hesitate to call the Albany Police Department.
