So in love with the "kids" who were born during the recess. Students @JFK_Middle are enjoying the experience of tending to the animals as part of the AG Program. @jfkffa @verenanro @docstevegallon @MDCPSNorth

Attention @MDCPS family! Starting July 1, a new Florida law limits student Wireless Communication Devices use during the instructional day.
This applies to all public schools - and yes, it affects M-DCPS students too.
Swipe to see what's changing by grade level.
