March is all about Cooperation for #ValuesMatterMiami. We’re encouraging students to work together in ways that strengthen their learning and help them build meaningful connections with one another.

As we celebrate School Social Work Week, we are reminded that our school social workers are the heartbeat of @mdcps, bridging the gap between home, school, and community. They don’t just support students; they empower families and build the emotional foundation for academic success. To our dedicated team: thank you for being the advocates, the listeners, and the invaluable support our students need. We see your impact every single day. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS

National School Social Work Week honors the work that happens quietly and consistently to support students’ well‑being. Social workers help create the sense of safety and trust that makes learning possible. Thank you for all that you do!

As we kick off Public Schools Week, I invite all @MDCPS students, faculty, staff, and parents to join in the fun. Our schools are hubs of innovation, safety, and community that give our students the world. Be sure to check our calendar and join the celebration. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS

For 140 years, Miami has looked to @MDCPS to be the keepers of its children’s futures. As Public Schools Week begins this Monday, we celebrate the legacy of excellence we’ve built together. You don’t just choose a school; you choose a community that believes in the power of 'what if.' Thank you, Miami, for choosing public education. Our sparkle is brighter than ever because of you! #YourBestChoiceMDCPS

Today, we recognize Presidents’ Day, a moment to look back on the history and leadership that have guided our nation’s path.

All @MDCPS, as well as Region and District offices, will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of Presidents' Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, February 17.

A lunch tray and an open seat can be the start of a lifelong friendship. On #NoOneEatsAloneDay, our @MDCPS students are proving that the most important thing we serve is inclusion. By pulling up an extra chair, they ensure it’s more than just a meal; it’s a promise that every child has a place at the table and a voice that is heard. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS
