📱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!

⭐️ Staff Spotlight ⭐️
Recently, Ms. Sahagun also had a wonderful opportunity to spend a week in Salamanca, Spain, participating in an international teacher training program organized by the University of Salamanca. It was a professional development experience where she joined educators from the United States and Brazil to attend workshops and presentations. She learned so much and is super excited to apply all of the new strategies to her own classroom!
Fun fact - she also completed her Master’s Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language! 🦁💙

🌀🚧REBUILDING STRONGER🚧🌀
We’re proud to share that the Martin County School District has been awarded $500,000 in state funding to support the restoration of Murray Middle School, which was severely damaged during Hurricane Milton.
The school’s band and chorus rooms were among the hardest hit. This funding will support the rebuild of modern, safe, and well-equipped spaces where our students can grow academically and artistically—on a campus they’re proud of.
Our sincerest thanks go to Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Legislature, Rep. Toby Overdorf, and Sen. Gayle Harrell for making this possible.
