Citrus Grove Elementary School

🍎INSTRUCTIONAL UPDATE FOR FAMILIES🍎 In March, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1048 into law, effectively eliminating Florida Standards Assessments (FSAs) and replacing them with progress monitoring. This school year will be the last year that students take FSAs - next year, Florida will fully implement progress monitoring-based school accountability. Our Division of Instructional Services has created a video explaining what parents need to know about this new legislation and the status of assessments: https://youtu.be/hjIM1Xcns6c. Many of our students will participate in FSAs this week. We ask families to continue prioritizing attendance and punctuality while also encouraging their children to take pride in demonstrating what they have learned this year. Families are encouraged to reach out to their child's school with any questions. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🎨CELEBRATING CREATIVITY🎨 The arts are most definitely alive - and celebrated - in your Martin County public schools! Each year, hundreds of our fifth-grade students participate in the Office of the Martin County Tax Collector's Kids Tag Art contest, creating unique designs that families and interested community members can purchase in the form of license plates and key fobs. This year's award-winning artists were celebrated during a special event held March 30, 2022, at The Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast. "The art teachers that Martin County hires are phenomenal," said Martin County Tax Collector, Ruth Pietruszewski. "Every year, it gets better and better and better."
