🌀EYE ON THE STORM🌀 **Update 2:15 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26: Schools and offices in the Martin County School District will reopen and return to normal operations on Friday, Sept. 27. The District continues to carefully monitor local weather conditions alongside our partners at the Martin County Emergency Management Agency. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our families and employees as we navigated the uncertain weather conditions caused by Hurricane Helene. While we were forecasted to experience frequent high wind speeds, our District was fortunately spared from receiving severe damage. Our thoughts and prayers are with our fellow Floridians as Hurricane Helene continues to strengthen into an extremely powerful storm and head towards the West Coast. It is important for our students to return to class as attendance is essential for their success. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and providing the best education. #ALLINMartin👊
