💵OUR DOLLARS, OUR DISTRICT💵 This week Michael Maine, Executive Director of Principals and Professional Standards, visited the build site at Palm City Elementary School. Mr. Maine was accompanied by Principal Robyn Monte and Assistant Principal Lauren Rabener on his tour of the new school site. The new school is being funded by the half-cent sales tax referendum that was generously approved by Martin County voters in 2018. #ALLINMartin 👊 #PublicSchoolProud

PCE Families and Staff, As we get closer and closer to the opening of our brand-new school, we will be implementing small changes to our carline process to ensure construction continues as planned. Please click the link https://bit.ly/PCECarline to view a map detailing how students will be dropped off and picked up in front car line until further notice. Live pictures can be viewed on our school FaceBook page too. These changes will take effect on Wednesday, May 18, 2022. Changes do not impact bikers or walkers. Be reminded we have a new Safety Patrol squad and they are learning! Parents can help by having the child(ren) prepared to exit the car. We appreciate your patience. Please contact our school at (772) 219-1565 with any questions. Thank you for your continued engagement and support of Palm City Elementary School.

The voter-approved half-mill property tax has funded an extra School Resource Officer (SRO) at each MCSD-operated high school for the last four years. The Martin County School Board wants to know if you think this should be continued if the half-mill is renewed by voters on August 23, 2022.

🍎INSTRUCTIONAL UPDATE FOR FAMILIES🍎 In March, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1048 into law, effectively eliminating Florida Standards Assessments (FSAs) and replacing them with progress monitoring. This school year will be the last year that students take FSAs - next year, Florida will fully implement progress monitoring-based school accountability. Our Division of Instructional Services has created a video explaining what parents need to know about this new legislation and the status of assessments: https://youtu.be/hjIM1Xcns6c. Many of our students will participate in FSAs this week. We ask families to continue prioritizing attendance and punctuality while also encouraging their children to take pride in demonstrating what they have learned this year. Families are encouraged to reach out to their child's school with any questions. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🎨CELEBRATING CREATIVITY🎨 The arts are most definitely alive - and celebrated - in your Martin County public schools! Each year, hundreds of our fifth-grade students participate in the Office of the Martin County Tax Collector's Kids Tag Art contest, creating unique designs that families and interested community members can purchase in the form of license plates and key fobs. This year's award-winning artists were celebrated during a special event held March 30, 2022, at The Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast. "The art teachers that Martin County hires are phenomenal," said Martin County Tax Collector, Ruth Pietruszewski. "Every year, it gets better and better and better."
