๐PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE๐
Itโs never too early to plan for what comes next after high school!

Martin County School District students will NOT be required to make up the days missed due to the recent hurricanes.
Fortunately, after a thorough review of the Districtโs instructional calendar, students will still meet state requirements and complete the academic year without the need to use make-up days at this time.
We are committed to supporting the community with ongoing recovery efforts, including through the Education Foundation of Martin Countyโs relief fund for employees and families, providing free meals for students, and offering credit for last weekโs Extended Day services. Link to relief fund: https://bit.ly/3BIZm5K

โญ๏ธCOMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR SUCCESSโญ๏ธ
Did you know--the Stuart Martin Chamber of Commerce is one of the most recent organizations to endorse the the renewal of the existing millage referendum?
Since 2018, funding from the existing millage referendum has helped provide critical resources for our schools, such as additional school resource officers, mental health programs, and funding to recruit, retain, and train top teachers and staff to provide quality education.
When Martin County voters head to the polls on November 5, they will see a request to renew the existing millage referendum. A renewal of the millage will allow the district to continue funding these essential services that directly support students and the community.
