🍽NOURISHING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍽
The expiration of a federal waiver means families must complete a free/reduced-price meal application to determine whether or not their child(ren) are eligible for meal benefits. Even if you do not believe your children will qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please consider completing an application - meal applications ensure the District is able to receive needed federal funding that directly benefits our students and schools. The District is covering the cost of meals for students who qualify for reduced-price meals.
Complete your family's meal application here: https://www.myschoolapps.com/
On the menu today: breaded chicken, brown rice, sweet potato fries, fresh pear and sliced fresh cucumbers! 🍗🍐🥒

🍎FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL READY🍎
It's the first day back to school for many students, teachers and staff, and it's also a brand new start for more than 100 Martin County School District employees!
Although these educators might be in a new career, educational role or school building, our Professional Development team made sure they were ready to begin the year on the right foot and with a lot of support.
Our annual three-day New Educator Orientation is a great way for new staff to learn the in's and out's of the Martin County School District and what it means to be #ALLINMartin👊! Check out some of the new faces you'll see around the district 👀 👀
