Martin County School District schedules kindergarten information night Feb. 11

Martin County School District will hold a kindergarten information night for families of children who turn 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11, at each child—s home-zone elementary school.

The event "is the opportunity perfect to start enrolling your child in kindergarten," district staff said in Spanish during the announcement. It is intended to let families meet school principals and leadership teams, visit a kindergarten classroom and learn about enrollment, school meals, transportation and after-school care.

An unidentified district staff member for the Martin County School District said in Spanish, "Visite la escuela de su hijo y conozca al director o directora y al equipo de liderazgo." The announcement also told parents, in Spanish, "Entérese de todo lo que necesita saber sobre comidas escolares, transporte y cuidado después de la escuela, todo en una noche."

According to the announcement, the event is aimed at parents of children who will be 5 by Sept. 1, 2025, and is timed to give families a chance to begin the kindergarten enrollment process. The district advised families to attend their neighborhood (home-zone) elementary school at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 11.

The district did not specify whether registration is required, which schools will host separate sessions, or whether staff will offer translations or materials in languages other than Spanish. Parents seeking those details were directed to contact their child—s home-zone elementary school (contact information was not specified in the announcement).
