Good afternoon, parents. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to share an important safety message in partnership with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Yesterday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office arrested one of our students following inappropriate and illegal sexual contact with another student. While the arrest and charges in and of themselves were extremely disheartening and upsetting to hear, the Sheriff’s Office notified us today that they believe there may be other victims. Parents – please take a moment to speak with your child to ensure they know that if they believe they may have been a victim of inappropriate contact, the Sheriff’s Office wants to know. It is important that students know they may always come forward to report information to one of our School Resource Officers or another trusted adult on campus. In partnership with the Sheriff’s Office, we are here to support our students and ensure that they are and feel safe at all times. Tips or other concerns may be submitted via our school district website at www.martinschools.org or the MCSD mobile app by clicking the “submit a tip” button. Information that is submitted is received and investigated by the District’s safety team and law enforcement 24/7. Families may also contact the Martin County Sheriff’s Office at (772) 220-7060 to report information for investigation. We appreciate the men and women of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for their dedication to investigating all allegations and tips in a timely and extremely thorough manner. I know that I have made a few phone calls over the last several days that have not provided news that any of us want to hear. I want all of our families to be assured that Martin County High School takes safety, as well as transparency, very seriously. We appreciate your continued support of our school. Please do not hesitate to contact our main office at 772-219-1800 if you have any additional questions.

Good afternoon, parents. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to make you aware of an allegation that has been made involving a teacher at our school. Recently, we became aware of a concerning photo that appears to depict one of our teachers. As a result of the nature of the photo, the District’s Office of Professional Standards was immediately notified and began an investigation. Florida Statutes and School Board Policy preclude me from providing specifics related to the investigation other than to share with you that we are aware of this photo and the appropriate investigatory steps are being taken. The teacher has been reassigned to a function within the school district office while the investigation is underway. Parents- please be assured that the Martin County School District holds all employees to the highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct in accordance with the Principles of Professional Conduct for the Education Profession in Florida. There is no further action required of you as a result of this message. We appreciate your continued support of Martin County High School.

Greetings, Martin County High School families. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to share some important information with you about our upcoming Homecoming festivities. Parents, I would like to thank you for your support as we navigated the threats made against our school and the subsequent arrest of two minors this morning. We understand and empathize with the fact that these events were likely extremely troubling for your student and your family, as they were for all of our faculty and staff. I want to assure you that, in partnership with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, we remain committed to safety. Martin County High School is an extremely safe campus and will remain that way because of the support and commitment of our students, employees, families and partners in law enforcement. With that being said, I want to advise you that all Homecoming activities will proceed as planned. Although we remain extremely confident that the Martin County Sheriff’s Office has fully addressed any potential threats, we will continue to have increased law enforcement present throughout our parade, pep rally (which will be held during the school day tomorrow) , Homecoming game and dance out of an abundance of caution. We want all of our students to be able to enjoy the activities they have looked forward to and helped to plan, and we appreciate the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for their continued partnership in ensuring the safety of our students and employees. Please continue to speak with your child about the importance of remaining alert, reporting suspicious activity they become aware of and making good decisions. Our school and the Martin County School District have zero tolerance for threats of any nature – individuals who make these extremely poor and illegal decisions will face severe school-based consequences and criminal charges. We are looking forward to positive and safe Homecoming activities as we celebrate Havana Nights! Please do not hesitate to contact our school with any questions you may have. Thank you for your continued support of Martin County High School.
