The motion was made by Gail Cargile that effective August 3, for MCS to follow CDC and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) recommendations during the school day. Cargile’s motion included a decision on athletics would be made by Dr. David Fonseca, Superintendent; Clay Wagner, Director of Student Services and athletic directors in the school district.

All student families, staff and community members are invited to take part in our series of Community Listening Meetings which begin Thursday, August 5 at South Creek High School at 6:30 pm.

This is an important message for all families of Martin County Schools students.
We want to make sure all families are aware Martin County Schools will not offer a virtual school option for the upcoming school year . In-person learning will be the only option offered.
If conditions warrant, the district is prepared to transition all students to a virtual learning environment.
Parents and guardians of students who participated in virtual learning last year do not need to take any specific actions to return their student to in-person learning. Their student remains enrolled with the school they attended last year and if they are transitioning to a new school this year, their records will move on to their next school location.
We look forward to seeing you and your students when the school year begins on August 23.
COVID-19 vaccination clinics coming next week for anyone 12 years of age or older!
