#HappyEaster! Wishing a peaceful and joyful day to everyone in our community who celebrates.

April is all about Honesty for #ValuesMatterMiami. We’re encouraging students to speak truthfully, act with integrity, and make choices that reflect who they truly are. When honesty guides their actions, trust grows, and our school community becomes stronger.

April is #MonthoftheMilitaryChild! This month, we recognize the strength and resilience of military children who navigate frequent moves and new schools. We are proud to celebrate their unique journeys.

Parents, please speak with your children about these serious and lasting consequences. This is not a joke, and there are no exceptions. @MDCPS enforces a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy on threats of any kind.
