🚨LAW ENFORCEMENT ALERT FOR FAMILIES🚨 The Martin County Sheriff's Office is actively enforcing laws about the operation of unregistered golf carts in our community, particularly near school campuses. Golf carts are only permitted on roads with a maximum 35 mph speed limit, and that’s only if they are titled, registered, insured and have all the appropriate safety measures to make them street legal. Please be mindful of these regulations, as deputies will issue citations for violations. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🚦RE-ENGINEERING ALGEBRA🚦 Do you ever hear the questions, "why do I need to learn algebra?" or "how will algebra help me in the future?" Mr. Love answers those questions during his amazing math session, and the students are thoroughly interested in what he has to teach! Thank you, Education Foundation of Martin County and Mr. Love, for bringing this amazing educational opportunity to Martin County School District middle schools. Mr. Love has been to Murray Middle School, Indiantown Middle School and Hidden Oaks Middle School so far this week. He will head to Stuart Middle School tomorrow and Dr. David L. Anderson Middle on Friday. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDTheRippleEffect

We want to thank Ms. Lisa Rhodes and the Education Foundation for providing this opportunity to our students!

❄YEAR IN REVIEW: WINTER BREAK COUNTDOWN❄ Martin County School District students headed back to school for the 2022-2023 school year on August 10! Icebreakers, campus guides, setting goals and lots of emotions...there's a little bit of everything on the first day of school. Check out all the cuteness at Crystal Lake Elementary School with South Fork High School football players escorting the newest students to class.
