Families and staff- we are aware of the boil water notice that is currently in effect for Palm City. The District has arranged for plenty of bottled water to be delivered to campus for drinking and for our cafeteria staff to use when preparing meals . Water fountains and sinks will be covered. We will have hand sanitizer available as well. Please feel free to send your child with additional bottled water or hand sanitizer if this is your preference. While this is an unavoidable inconvenience, we are fully prepared and looking forward to resuming our week of teaching and learning tomorrow. Thank you for your continued support of our school.

🍽NOURISHING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍽 The expiration of a federal waiver means families must complete a free/reduced-price meal application to determine whether or not their child(ren) are eligible for meal benefits. Even if you do not believe your children will qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please consider completing an application - meal applications ensure the District is able to receive needed federal funding that directly benefits our students and schools. The District is covering the cost of meals for students who qualify for reduced-price meals. Complete your family's meal application here: https://www.myschoolapps.com/ On the menu today: breaded chicken, brown rice, sweet potato fries, fresh pear and sliced fresh cucumbers! 🍗🍐🥒 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

**Curriculum Night** Please join us September 1st from 5:30 - 7:30 for Middle School Curriculum Night! Here are some helpful hints to streamline your experience: Parents may come at any time during the 5:30-7:30 window and visit teachers at their presentation times in an order that works best for them. Parents should: Log into the FOCUS Parent Portal and click Class Schedule prior to arriving at HOMS and either print or take a screenshot of your child’s schedule with room numbers Prioritize teachers you would like to visit (you do not need to visit all teachers or follow a prescribed schedule if you don’t wish to do so) Plan to visit the teachers of your choosing in any sequence Some teachers with unique classes in their schedule will notify students about the specific times of those presentations. If a classroom becomes crowded, the teacher may close the session to ensure safe numbers. However, with multiple session times offered, each parent should be able to visit every teacher they wish to see (Individual appointments are also always available afterward. Any parent who is unable to visit a teacher during curriculum night, can contact our guidance office to schedule a time for a later date.) Presentations will be 15 minutes each, with 5 minutes for transition between each. Presentation times: 5:30; 5:50; 6:10; 6:30; 6:50; 7:10 If for some reason a parent has trouble locating the schedule/room numbers in FOCUS, or if a parent gets turned around on campus, staff will be on hand to help. It is our hope that by offering a flexible schedule that allows for parent choice, we will more closely meet the needs of each parent and make the experience positive.
