Hurricane Idalia is rapidly approaching the west coast of Florida and is expected to bring powerful winds and storm surge as it approaches Category 3 strength. While Martin County is not currently operating under any storm-related watches or warnings, our area is expected to experience heavy rains and wind gusts from the storm. Any time severe weather has the potential to impact our area, the Martin County School District works closely with national, state, and county management officials, including the Martin County Emergency Operations Center, to determine how operations may be impacted. Our top priority is to ensure the safety of our students, employees, and families. We will continue to monitor the path of the storm and will provide updates as needed through our mass notification (callout/text) system, website and social media channels. We encourage families and employees to make necessary preparations that will help ensure their safety during severe weather conditions, such as reviewing emergency plans and stocking up on essential supplies. We encourage you to take advantage of the Florida Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday, which began this past weekend. It lasts until Friday, September 8. We appreciate your patience, understanding and support as we continue to monitor local weather conditions.

Wildcat Families! Great job with arrival and dismissal. Tomorrow we will begin tardy passes for anyone arriving after the 7:30 late bell. Reminders! Pull all the way forward and have your window down school side for both arrival and dismissal. *The back entrance is for walkers/bikers only. This is a serious safety issue for walkers/bikers. Please be respectful of other people's children. * Thank you for your support and cooperation so we can safely get our students to and from school! PCE Administration, Teachers, & Staff

🛠️SOLID BASE, ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES🛠️ August 2nd was a very busy and exciting day in the Martin County School District! Ribbon-cutting ceremonies were held at three brand-new facilities within the District: Jensen Beach Elementary School, Indiantown High School and Palm City Elementary School. Inside these walls, students can be assured they have a solid foundation and state-of-the-art amenities with room to grow and learn for generations to come. These brand-new schools would not be possible without the tremendous support of the community and Martin County taxpayers. We are truly grateful! Also, a shoutout goes to Proctor Construction Company (JBE contractor), Paul Jacquin & Sons, Inc. (PCE Contractor), and the District's Maintenance and Facilities staff for their hard work! Special thanks to Acacia Lodge No 163 F&AM for being part of this day and conducting Cornerstone Laying Ceremonies at JBE and PCE. ▶️ Watch a recap of the momentous day celebrating the fruition of dreams, hard work and unwavering support: https://youtu.be/3wcq1g01Rog #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDBetterTogether💫
