🎈 Two simple words. A whole lot of gratitude.
Every class period, a balloon carried a message to the veterans in our JBHS Falcon family: Thank you!
Today, we celebrate not only your service to our country but also the ways you continue to make a difference in our school community. We are grateful to have you as part of our Falcon family!
🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day!

🇺🇸 Honoring Those Who Served! ❤️🤍💙
Our Falcons found meaningful ways to recognize the veterans who have made a difference in their lives and our community!
Students in Mrs. Utech's U.S. Government classes created special pennants honoring veterans they know, including family members, friends, and JBHS staff. Meanwhile, our Key Club members and other students spread a little extra appreciation by creating heartfelt cards for veterans.
From thoughtful words to creative tributes, our students showed that gratitude comes in many forms. We are proud of our Falcons for taking the time to recognize the men and women who have served our country.
Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice! 🇺🇸

🦅A very special congratulations to Laura Southers, JBHS School Related Employee of the Year!🎉
We are beyond excited to celebrate our very own testing secretary, Laura Southers, who has been selected by her Falcon colleagues as Jensen Beach High School's School Related Employee of the Year!
Anyone who has experienced schoolwide testing knows how much planning, preparation, and behind-the-scenes work goes into making it all happen. Mrs. Southers takes on that responsibility with dedication, attention to detail and, best of all, a smile! No matter how busy things get, she brings a positive attitude and a willingness to help that makes a difference to everyone around her.
Laura, we are so lucky to have you as part of our Falcon Family! Your hard work, kindness, and commitment never go unnoticed. We are so proud of you and couldn't be happier to see you receive this well-deserved recognition. Congratulations!

🚨SCHOOLS REOPEN WEDNESDAY🚨
MCSD Families: Schools and District offices will reopen tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 4.
We know how important it is for our schools to be open for students and families when we can do so safely. We also recognize that some families are still dealing with flooding, difficult travel conditions and other impacts from the weather. If that is your family, we understand and want you to have the flexibility you need.
Here’s what to know for tomorrow:
-Attendance: If weather-related conditions prevent your child from attending school or cause them to arrive late, the absence or tardy will be excused with parent/guardian notification to the school. We also encourage employees to let their supervisors know as soon as possible regarding their ability to report to work.
-Transportation: Families using District buses should expect delays. If you are able to safely transport your child to and from school, we encourage you to do so.
-After-School: Extended Day will operate as scheduled. All outdoor after-school activities remain canceled. Indoor activities may resume at the discretion of individual schools and coaches, with any cancellations communicated directly to families. Activity buses will not operate, so families of students participating in indoor activities should plan accordingly for transportation.
-Makeup Day: At this time, no decision has been made regarding a makeup day. We will provide as much advance notice as possible once a decision has been reached.
As we prepare to welcome our students back, our thoughts remain with the families and employees who are still dealing with significant impacts from this weather. Please make the decision that is safest for your family based on the conditions where you live and travel.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff and families remain our priority.

🚨WEATHER UPDATE🚨
MCSD Families: As our community continues to navigate the impacts of the recent weather, the Martin County School District is closely monitoring conditions in Martin County and surrounding areas as we plan for Wednesday.
At noon today, school and District leadership teams will meet to review conditions across the region, assess our campuses and determine what is needed to support school operations tomorrow.
We know families and employees are making plans, and we will share an update on Wednesday’s school operations as soon as possible following today’s assessment.
We are especially mindful of our families and employees who are dealing with severe impacts from this weather. We hope you and your loved ones continue to stay safe. The safety and well-being of our students, staff and families remain our priority as we look ahead to tomorrow.

🚨WEATHER UPDATE: SCHOOLS CLOSED TUESDAY🚨
Due to the ongoing impacts of severe weather across Martin County and surrounding communities, all Martin County School District-operated schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3. This includes all after-school activities.
In making this decision, the District considered conditions throughout the region, including significant flooding and difficult travel conditions in communities where many of our employees and families live. As conditions progressed throughout the day, we received reports of employees and families navigating floodwaters to get home, leaving vehicles behind and waiting for a ride because of impassable roadways, and making alternate arrangements for overnight accommodations because they can’t safely stay in their own homes.
Those impacts matter as we consider the safety of our employees traveling to and from our campuses and our ability to have the staff and resources in place to support students throughout the day.
The decision follows Governor Ron DeSantis’ declaration of a state of emergency for Martin County and surrounding counties.
Our thoughts are with our families and employees experiencing the impacts of the severe weather, both within Martin County and in surrounding communities. We encourage everyone to use caution and prioritize their safety as conditions continue to affect our region.
Continue to follow the District's social media and website for any updates.
#ALLINMartin👊
Post updated: Update 11/2: Schools are open today. We understand that conditions vary throughout the county. Families should make the decision they feel is safest based on the conditions where they are. Please be cautious when traveling and take it slow.
We recognize delays are inevitable, especially as we urge families to take it safe and slow when arriving. Tardies will be excused with parent/guardian notification.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

🚨WEATHER UPDATE🚨
MCSD Families: With significant rainfall impacting parts of our county, we are closely monitoring conditions ahead of the school day tomorrow.
Families should plan for the possibility of traffic and transportation delays. Please allow extra time for the morning commute and, most importantly, be safe and do not rush. If weather conditions cause your student to arrive late tomorrow morning, the tardy will be excused with parent/guardian notification.
We will continue to monitor conditions and share updates as new information becomes available. Please monitor the District’s website and social media channels for the latest information.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our students, families and staff safe.
