Martin County School District announced on the All In Martin podcast that open enrollment for the 2026‑27 school year opens Jan. 1 and that the district will give first priority to applications submitted through March 31. Superintendent Maines and host Kirsty Germaine said applications remain accepted after March 31, but families who apply during the Jan. 1–March 31 window will receive priority notification.

The district said it is updating the enrollment page to streamline the process and make it easier for families to apply. Maines encouraged families to use the district website (www.martinschools.org) when the application becomes available and noted staff are working to make the experience simple.

The podcast also reminded families of winter break reading resources, including an IXL challenge and Martin Reads activities available on the district website.
