In order to maintain a focused learning environment, the Martin County School Board has updated the Code of Student Conduct policy regarding cell phones/wireless communication devices. Here's what you need to know: 👉Devices Off & Out of Sight: All devices must be turned off and stored in purses or backpacks during the school day. This includes cell phones, earbuds, smartwatches and smartphones. 👉Corrective Actions: Devices seen during school hours will be TAKEN AWAY. Parents/guardians must visit the school to retrieve them, and repeated offenses will lead to further disciplinary action. 👉Communication: For urgent messages, parents/guardians should contact the school's front office. School staff will ensure the message reaches your student promptly. We appreciate your support. Let's work together to create a distraction-free environment for all students!

🚨🐾 New Bulldog Alert! Please welcome Jeanette Atkinson to the ESE department! She says "I have a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, a B.S.E. from Missouri Southern State University, an M.A. in Adult Education & Training, an M.S.E in Educational Diagnostician from Northwest Missouri State University, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership from Northwest Missouri State. University. My first day of teaching was 9/11. As if that didn't prepare me enough for learning to deal with the unexpected, I returned to teaching from a hiatus to homeschool for the 2019-2020 school year. I moved to Florida from Missouri two days before the start of that last school year. I learned so much during my year at Stuart Middle School and I am even more excited to learn more at the high school level at South Fork. During my tenure of teaching, I have taught Special Education in elementary, middle, and high school. I have taught in a CWC classroom, CT classroom, Resource, and self-contained. Every one has been a different experience and I have enjoyed them all."
