Summer Reminder for Families!
We know summer has just begun and we hope you’re enjoying every minute! But as we all know, summer has a way of flying by, and before you know it, the new school year will be here.
This is a great time to take care of those important dentist and doctor appointments while schedules are more flexible. If appointments need to happen during the school year, be sure to use our school calendar to help plan visits on days off whenever possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our students—especially when it comes to attendance. You did an amazing job this past year making sure your children were present and ready to learn, and we truly appreciate your partnership!


For all incoming 9th grade athletes wanting to join a sport, keep in mind that you will need an ECG as part of the sports physical. The summer is a great time to complete that! Keys AHEC is providing free ECG screenings, including a sports physical, to Monroe County School District students new to high school sports. By appointment only, call 305-743-7111 extension 210 to schedule your student athlete.


Good news, graduates! Official transcripts have been sent to your indicated schools and programs. You do not need to put in a request at this time. For future transcript requests and information, click here.

In an open letter to Florida Parents, the Florida Commissioner of Education, Anastasios Kamoutsas announced increased scores for students as shown in progress monitoring for this school year. In the letter, he says in part:
"When I became Commissioner of Education in July 2025, I set two priorities for Florida’s schools: student safety and academic achievement. I am pleased to share that progress monitoring results for the 2025-2026 school year continue to show students succeeding thanks to Florida’s first-in-the-nation progress monitoring assessments."
The entire letter can be seen by clicking the image, or by clicking this link.
He also shared resources parents can use to help their students succeed:
"In addition, the Florida Department of Education is proud to provide parent resources for student success in Mathematics and English Language Arts to help families support learning at home. Each guide outlines key concepts and skills taught by grade level, defines important terms, and offers practical activities and questions to encourage learning beyond the classroom – all aligned to the B.E.S.T. Standards. "
