🍎📚BACK TO SCHOOL 2021🍎📚 Happy Friday, Martin County! We're ready to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and begin a fantastic third day of the school year. #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDPotential🌟

🍎PLANNING FOR HEALTH AND SUCCESS🍎 Last week, the Martin County School Board approved Superintendent John D. Millay's recommendation that the District hire one additional nurse and then contract for supplementary nursing services to assist with required contact tracing processes this school year. While the Florida Department of Health in Martin County (DOH Martin) has applied for a grant that would fund these positions if approved, Dr. Millay and the School Board believe it is important to begin the school year with these important health professionals in place and assisting our schools. Our contracted nurses began their training with the District this afternoon. We are grateful to have these healthcare heroes assisting our schools. #ALLINMartin👊

📚🍎BACK TO SCHOOL 2021: PLANNING FOR SAFETY📚🍎 In an emergency, seconds matter and communication is critical.

As we begin a new school year next week, families are encouraged to make sure their current phone numbers and other contact methods are on file with their child's school.
