🍎FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL READY🍎
It's the first day back to school for many students, teachers and staff, and it's also a brand new start for more than 100 Martin County School District employees!
Although these educators might be in a new career, educational role or school building, our Professional Development team made sure they were ready to begin the year on the right foot and with a lot of support.
Our annual three-day New Educator Orientation is a great way for new staff to learn the in's and out's of the Martin County School District and what it means to be #ALLINMartin👊! Check out some of the new faces you'll see around the district 👀 👀
