🛠️CONSTRUCTION WALK-THROUGH🛠️ Yesterday, Martin County School District's Superintendent of Schools Michael Maine, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Tracey Miller and Director of Facilities Mark Sechrist toured the construction sites at Stuart Middle School and South Fork High School. SMS: Mr. Maine, Dr. Miller and Mr. Sechrist walked through the construction area of the new administration and media center buildings, new cafeteria and new power plant building. The SMS site transformation also includes the new Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County club located on the SMS campus, bringing students an innovative workforce collaboratory project. SFHS: The group toured the new gymnasium, which will be a state-of-the-art facility to house future sporting events, graduation and class. The gym will include office space, a common area, locker rooms and much more. The District appreciates Martin County voters' generous support of the half-cent sales tax referendum that has transformed these facilities from a dream to a much-deserved reality! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDBetterTogether💫

🍁THANKSGIVING BREAK UPDATE🍁 The Martin County School District would like to formally announce students and teachers will have Nov. 20-24 off for Thanksgiving Break. As noted in the Instructional Calendar, Nov. 20 and 21 were designated as emergency makeup days to ensure our students would receive the instruction in the event the District had to close schools due to storms or other unforeseen emergencies. The District has had no such situation creating a need to make up instructional time; therefore, those two days are included in Thanksgiving Break for students and teachers. The Martin County School Board approved the 2023-2024 School Calendar during its meeting on Nov. 22, 2022. To view the calendar, click here: https://www.martinschools.org/page/calendars #ALLINMartin👊

📆HURRICANE MAKEUP DAYS📆 Reminder for families: Hurricane season doesn't officially end until Nov. 30. As we near the end of the season, we want to remind Martin County families of the scheduled Emergency Makeup Days built into the 2023-2024 School Calendar. We are also nearing the first set up Emergency Makeup Days on our Instructional Calendar, which precedes Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 20-21). These days may be used to make up instructional time in the event we need to close for one or more storms. IF we do NOT experience any emergency situations or storms requiring us to use one or more of these Emergency Makeup Days, those two days will be added to Thanksgiving Break, giving students the week away from school (Nov. 20-24). At this time, that appears to be the case. If we experience conditions that would necessitate making up one or more school days, we will provide notice of the appropriate date(s) to families and employees as soon as possible. The Martin County School Board approved the 2023-2024 School Calendar during its meeting on Nov. 22, 2022.
