Good morning, Martin County High School School families. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to make you aware of some important information related to school safety.
Late last evening, we were made aware of written threats against our school that were posted on Snapchat. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office immediately began investigating the written threats and identified two suspects who have since been arrested- one minor for making the written threats and another minor for possession of a loaded firearm that was provided to the first minor. Neither child attends our school. The investigation and arrests were completed early this morning- we have since been given the go ahead to release this information to our families, which is why I am contacting you at this time.
Parents – please continue to speak with your students about the role we all share in protecting the safety and security of our campus. The “see something, say something” rule played a critical role in this particular case, as being made aware of these horrific and extremely troubling social media postings allowed law enforcement to immediately investigate the threat and quickly make arrests. Please encourage your child to always report any suspicious activity they see or hear of to a teacher, administrator, our School Resource Officer or another trusted adult on campus. Students and members of the community may also report tips via our Martin County School District app or website at www.martinschools.org. These tips are received and investigated by District safety staff and law enforcement 24/7, and students may remain anonymous when reporting information if they would like.
The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priorities. We appreciate the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for taking swift action last evening and overnight to investigate this incident and make the necessary arrests. We will also have an increased law enforcement presence on campus out of an abundance of caution. Please do not be alarmed by this as you are dropping off your student or passing by our campus- this action, which again is being taken out of an abundance of caution, is part of our school district’s continued partnership with the Martin County Sheriff’s to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Please do not hesitate to contact the main office of our school with any questions you have. Thank you for your continued support and for partnering with us for your child’s education.

🚗PRACTICING SAFETY - PLEASE SHARE🚗
Families - please be mindful of these important carline guidelines. Students may not be dropped off or picked up anywhere other than the designated carline area for their school. Roadways and parking lots of area businesses are not appropriate or safe places for students to be dropped off or picked up. For efficiency, please plan to leave your home in time to be present in the carline at your child's school once the campus opens each day. Thank you for being our partner in safety.

🍎INDIVIDUAL SCORE REPORTS FOR SPRING 2021 ASSESSMENTS🍎
The Martin County School District has received students' individual score reports for Spring 2021 statewide assessments from the Florida Department of Education. Schools have sorted the reports - students' individual records will be sent home with them no later than tomorrow, October 4.
If your child took any of the following assessments last spring, please be on the lookout for the appropriate personal score report(s) in their belongings:
🍎English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics or Science Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)
🍎Biology, U.S. History, Civics or Geometry End-of-Course Exam (EOC)
If your child took one or more FSAs or EOCs last school year and you have not received their individual score report(s) by tomorrow evening, please contact their school for assistance. As the score reports are distributed to school districts in hard copy format from the Florida Department of Education, they will not be available for viewing in the FOCUS Parent Portal.
A celebration for students who earned a perfect score on one or more of their statewide assessments is being planned for later in the fall.
