We are honored to share that the School District of Indian River County (SDIRC), in partnership with The Learning Alliance and the Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN), has been featured in a national article by the Tampa Bay Times, highlighting our collective efforts to improve literacy outcomes for students in Indian River County.
This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child can read, write, and succeed. It is a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication of our educators, families, and community partners.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to:
The Learning Alliance for their transformative work in literacy education and community engagement.
Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN) for their innovative initiatives and unwavering support in our shared mission.
Jeff Martin and The Children’s Literacy Project for their impactful storytelling and reminder of what's possible when communities put children first.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the courage of first responders, and the resilience of a nation forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.
In schools across our District, we take time to honor the significance of this day, ensuring our students understand the importance of unity, service, and compassion in the face of tragedy. As we reflect, we are reminded of the strength found in community and the enduring impact of coming together in support of one another.
We will never forget.


From building strategies to testing their teamwork with the sink or swim boat challenge, the day was filled with energy, laughter, and a shared vision for success.
Stronger teams. Deeper connections. A great start to an amazing year!
