The right punctuation is ellipse. At the beginning of each semester, Mr. Garza writes this on the board... “Speaking well and writing well are requirements for success.” Ellipse is use in order to indicate an intentional omission of a word without changing its original word.

It is the ellipsis (...) because that is what you use when you are omitting a word, phrase,line, paragraph, or a quoted passage.
