Mrs. McNair’s 4th Grade Mathematicians SHINED today! 🧮✨ Students worked collaboratively at our BTC (Building Thinking Classrooms) board to tackle our Let’s Investigate challenge.
They put their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the test as they worked through real-world word problems, shared strategies, justified their thinking, and learned from one another.
Mrs. Bradford‘s fourth grade class and Mrs. Planker's fifth grade class had an amazing day today at the airshow. Students were able to experience various STEM centers while there, they also got a tour of one of the planes and enjoyed a show while having lunch. Thanks to Witham Field and Martin County School District for this opportunity for hands-on learning.
🚀💙💛 A Little Late, But Always Appreciative! 💛💙🚀
Although we missed National School Psychology Week last week, we never miss an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible work of our school psychologist, Mrs. Carolina Alfonso! 🌟
School psychologists play such an important role in helping students thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Through collaboration, compassion, and dedication, they help create a safe and supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Mrs. Alfonso, we are so grateful for you! Thank you for your expertise, your commitment to our Rockets, and the countless ways you support our students, families, and staff. Your work makes a difference every single day, and we appreciate all that you do!
Because gratitude doesn’t have to fit into just one week! 💛
Thank you for helping our Rockets SOAR and launch toward excellence! 🚀✨

🚀 Rockets Making a Difference!
Our J.D. Parker Rockets were out in the community for our Adopt-a-Road cleanup in partnership with Keeping Martin Beautiful! 🌎
Together, we estimate that we picked up approximately 25 pounds of trash! Every little effort makes a big difference, and we are proud of our students for taking ownership, giving back, and helping keep our community beautiful.
☀️ Girls Just Want to Have Sun! ☀️
What a wonderful evening celebrating J.D. Parker Elementary’s Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Rosa Bradford! 💛💙
It was such a special night filled with sunshine, smiles, and lots of love for an educator who makes a difference every single day. We are so proud to celebrate Mrs. Bradford and recognize the heart, dedication, and passion she brings to our Rocket family! 🚀
A special shoutout to Mrs. Gallo and Mrs. Roberts for their creative touch in bringing the theme to life with a table filled with all the perfect sunshine-inspired details! ☀️🌻

🚨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.

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.
