📣SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK📣 The Martin County School District seeking your feedback about a potential year-round school pilot program. What is year-round school? Year-round school does NOT mean students will be in the classroom for more days. Instead, the mandated 180 days of instruction are spread throughout the year, changing the duration and timeframes of breaks. In May, Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 891 into law, establishing a four-year pilot program for year-round schooling. To contemplate joining the program (which starts in the 2024-2025 school year), the District was required to apply by the Florida Department of Education. The District has initially identified Warfield Elementary, Pinewood Elementary, Port Salerno Elementary, and Indiantown Middle as potential schools to participate in the pilot program. Join the conversation! Share your insights or questions by heading to this link or participating during public comment at the Board Workshop on January 9, 2024: https://bit.ly/3S5PGqv #ALLINMartin👊

⭐️EXPLORING DREAM JOBS⭐️ Palm City Elementary School transformed its halls and classrooms into a hub of inspiration and opportunity for students during Career Day! About 40 guests visited PCE yesterday and showcased the amazing job opportunities our students can pursue on the Treasure Coast. Each class was able to have four guest speakers talk about their career. "The event was very organized and the staff were extremely supportive," shared Jacob Dromerhauser, a PCE parent and Publix Assistant Store Manager, about his experience as a guest speaker. "How engaged the students were was unbelievable! They asked questions about work-life balance, pay, education, etc. PCE and the Martin County School District are doing a great job preparing our kids for the future!" We are so grateful to the guest speakers who made this such a special learning opportunity! Shoutout to Guidance Counselor Mrs. Miles for planning such a PAWSome experience! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDBetterTogether💫
