📣 RETURNING FALCON ALERT: Welcome Back, Señora Heldie Moore !🦅

We are thrilled to welcome back Señora Moore, a beloved Spanish teacher and a proud member of the Martin County School District for over 20 years! Not only has she dedicated more than two decades to inspiring students, but she was also part of the original faculty when Jensen Beach High School first opened its doors.🏫

Most recently, Señora Moore has been teaching at Stuart Middle School, where she sparked a love for Spanish in countless students. Now, many of those same students will be delighted to see a familiar face as they begin their high school journey with her once again! 🎓

Her deep roots in our community, her vibrant classroom presence, and her unwavering commitment to student growth make her return truly special. Welcome back to The Beach, Heldie!🌊💙

🦅NEW FALCON ALERT!🦅

🎉Please join us in welcoming to the Falcon Family, Ms. Amy Glauber – Our New Graduation Coach! 🌟

With 13 years of experience in education, Ms. Glauber brings a deep commitment to helping students stay on track, reach their goals, and walk across that graduation stage with confidence. 🎓✨

Outside of school, she loves going on adventures with her family and making the most of every moment together — a spirit of joy and connection she will undoubtedly bring into her work with students every day. 💙

Welcome to The Beach, Amy! 👏🌊

📱LET'S TALK CELL PHONES📱

The first day of school is almost here, and now’s a great time to remind your student about the District’s cell phone and wireless device policy and avoid an unexpected trip to campus to retrieve a confiscated device. 😅

ℹ️ During school hours, cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and other wireless tech must be off and out of sight.

Here’s what families should know:
📲 Devices that are seen or used during the day will be confiscated.
📲 Only a parent or guardian can pick them up, and only at a time set by school staff.
📲 Repeated offenses constitute insubordination and may result in suspension.

Need to contact your child? Call the school office—we’ll make sure they get the message promptly.

Thanks for helping us create a focused, distraction-free learning environment. Let’s start the year strong, staying present and connected in all the right ways!

#ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD
