💗 CHARACTER COUNTS! 💗
In partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, the Martin County School District is proud to announce the revitalization of an important program that will contribute to #MCSDTheRippleEffect and reframe how mental wellness support is delivered to students.
"Character Counts! is not new to the Martin County School District," Superintendent John D. Millay shared during a kickoff event held at the Palm City Chamber of Commerce last week. "When I say we're revitalizing it, we're bringing it front and center."

📚MCSD READS📚
Check out Mrs. Wardell's 4th graders at Warfield Elementary School engaged in their books! They love independent reading time!
They are working extremely hard to reach their end-of-year goals in the MCSD Reads program. MCSD Reads is the District's initiative to close the word gap by reinstating Accelerated Reader throughout the 2022-2023 school year, where students read books and take quizzes for fun prizes!
Great job, Mrs. Wardell's 4th graders! Keep on reading!

🎉ICYMI: HISPANIC HERITAGE CELEBRATIONS🎉
Hispanic Heritage Month officially ended Oct. 15, but we wanted to take a moment and highlight some of the fantastic festivities Martin County School District families and staff hosted to celebrate the beautiful Hispanic cultures within the District!
SeaWind Elementary, Warfield Elementary and Port Salerno Elementary all recently held Hispanic Heritage Night. Students and their families participated in crafts like making traditional Guatemalan or Peruvian dolls, watched beautiful dances, ate delicious food and learned about different Hispanic cultures! It was amazing to see families dressed in intricate and colorful traditional clothing!
At the MCSD Central Office, Instructional Services staff celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting their own potluck fiesta!

🚨SAFETY FIRST🚨
Families - please ensure your child wears their school-issued ID badge daily. These ID badges are an essential component of our overall safety plan. In addition, your child's badge allows them to easily perform certain school-related functions, such as boarding/exiting their school bus, purchasing meals or checking out materials from the media center.
If your child needs a new badge, please contact their school.
