🍎INDIVIDUAL SCORE REPORTS FOR SPRING 2021 ASSESSMENTS🍎
The Martin County School District has received students' individual score reports for Spring 2021 statewide assessments from the Florida Department of Education. Schools have sorted the reports - students' individual records will be sent home with them no later than tomorrow, October 4.
If your child took any of the following assessments last spring, please be on the lookout for the appropriate personal score report(s) in their belongings:
🍎English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics or Science Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)
🍎Biology, U.S. History, Civics or Geometry End-of-Course Exam (EOC)
If your child took one or more FSAs or EOCs last school year and you have not received their individual score report(s) by tomorrow evening, please contact their school for assistance. As the score reports are distributed to school districts in hard copy format from the Florida Department of Education, they will not be available for viewing in the FOCUS Parent Portal.
A celebration for students who earned a perfect score on one or more of their statewide assessments is being planned for later in the fall.

👋STARTING WITH HELLO👋
Students and staff at Citrus Grove Elementary School celebrated "Start With Hello" Week with themed colored shirt days and community circles.
"Start With Hello" is an initiative of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation that teachers young students how to be intentionally inclusive and connected to each other. It helps students build their social skills, break out of their shells and learn more about kindness.
CGE students enjoyed participating in an art contest which required them to draw pictures about what "Start With Hello" means to them. Check out the winners!
