🍎MARTIN MINUTE WITH MILLAY🍎 Superintendent John D. Millay and Ms. Elizabeth Rumie, ESE Secretary, have an important message for families about report cards and FOCUS Parent Portal accounts! If your child attended school in the Martin County School District last year, they will be bringing home a copy of their final report for the 2020-2021 school year no later than tomorrow afternoon.

🛠BREAKING GROUND🛠 With excitement and enthusiasm, Superintendent John D. Millay and the Martin County School Board recently participated in groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Jensen Beach and Palm City elementary schools. The complete replacement of both aging schools is being funded by the half-cent sales tax referendum that was generously approved by Martin County voters in 2018. Construction began at both sites the last week of July and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2023. Students will continue safely attending school in their current buildings while the new facilities are constructed. #ALLINMartin👊

🍎PLANNING FOR HEALTH AND SUCCESS🍎 On Thursday, August 5, the Martin County School Board approved Superintendent John D. Millay's recommendation that the District hire additional nurses to assist with required contract tracing processes in the coming school year. While the Florida Department of Health in Martin County (DOH Martin) has applied for a grant that would fund these positions if approved, Dr. Millay and the School Board believe it is important to begin the school year with these important health professionals in place and assisting our schools. WPTV's Todd Wilson spoke with Dr. Millay about why these positions are a priority for the District.
