🛠️CONSTRUCTION WALK-THROUGH🛠️ Yesterday, Martin County School District's Superintendent of Schools Michael Maine, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Tracey Miller and Director of Facilities Mark Sechrist toured the construction sites at Stuart Middle School and South Fork High School. SMS: Mr. Maine, Dr. Miller and Mr. Sechrist walked through the construction area of the new administration and media center buildings, new cafeteria and new power plant building. The SMS site transformation also includes the new Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County club located on the SMS campus, bringing students an innovative workforce collaboratory project. SFHS: The group toured the new gymnasium, which will be a state-of-the-art facility to house future sporting events, graduation and class. The gym will include office space, a common area, locker rooms and much more. The District appreciates Martin County voters' generous support of the half-cent sales tax referendum that has transformed these facilities from a dream to a much-deserved reality! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSDBetterTogether💫

🍁THANKSGIVING BREAK UPDATE🍁 The Martin County School District would like to formally announce students and teachers will have Nov. 20-24 off for Thanksgiving Break. As noted in the Instructional Calendar, Nov. 20 and 21 were designated as emergency makeup days to ensure our students would receive the instruction in the event the District had to close schools due to storms or other unforeseen emergencies. The District has had no such situation creating a need to make up instructional time; therefore, those two days are included in Thanksgiving Break for students and teachers. The Martin County School Board approved the 2023-2024 School Calendar during its meeting on Nov. 22, 2022.
