🌀EYE ON THE STORM🌀
** Update 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, October 8: Following this evening's briefing with Martin County Emergency Management officials, the decision has been made to open four schools as shelters beginning at noon tomorrow, October 9, with the exception of the special needs shelter, which opens at 7 a.m. The shelters will remain open until Hurricane Milton has moved away from our area, at which time staff will begin restoring campuses to pre-storm conditions.
As this will take us into Friday, all MCSD-operated schools will remain closed through the end of the current week. We plan to resume classes and normal operations on Monday, October 14.
The following schools will be used as shelters:
-Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School--opens at 7 a.m., Oct. 9 (special needs population - residents should register here: https://www.martin.fl.us/SpecialNeeds). This shelter includes limited medical oversight and is designed for residents with electricity-dependent needs such as oxygen.
-Willoughby Learning Center (residents and pets)
-Port Salerno Elementary School (general population)
-Warfield Elementary School (general population)
Families and employees are encouraged to stay informed by visiting our website, www.martinschools.org, and social media channels for the latest updates. Notifications will also be sent via the District's automated system. Families/employees who are not currently receiving text notifications should text START to 98900 to opt in. We encourage all families to continue monitoring hurricanes.gov and to register for local emergency alerts by visiting https://www.martin.fl.us/AlertMartin.
