Be Safe!
This is a message from Martin County Schools. Please know that the Martin County Board of Education voted last night for students and staff to begin the school year with remote instruction for the first 9 weeks. The board's decision was based on many factors related to COVID-19, survey results, and safety protocols that need to be put in place for students and staff.
Martin County Schools is committed to serving all students and providing the best education possible. On August 17th all students will begin the school year with remote instruction. All students will be provided with a computer (if needed) and Martin County Schools will work to help provide better access to internet connectivity.
Martin County Schools will provide remote instruction guidance for students and parents. Students will be required to work online with teachers and complete assignments. All work will be graded and will count toward the students overall average.
The board's decision for remote instruction was based on safety for all. We ask for your support and understanding of this decision and hope that you and your children will work with our staff during this remote instruction time period. Between now and Tuesday July, 28th schools will be contacting all students and parents to help determine the individual and district technology needs. You may also complete this information online at:
