💗 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."

🚨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.
