Several District schools, including Forest Hill Community High and Seminole Ridge Community High, held ceremonies to honor the victims and first responders.

These powerful moments remind us of the importance of community, courage, and resilience.

Take a look at some photos on Facebook of the day's events.

Watch the 9/11 remembrance ceremony at Seminole Ridge High.

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from September 15 through October 15.

Throughout the month, the School District of Palm Beach County honors the contributions of Hispanic and Latino students and staff to the District and community.

As part of that acknowledgement, a proclamation for Hispanic Heritage Month was on the agenda at the September 10 special school board meeting. 

Walking or biking to school? School Police Officer Michelle Wilburn and her K-9 partner, Leo, have some helpful tips to keep you safe: 

-Always look both ways before crossing the street, and make eye contact with drivers.

-To eliminate distractions, put down cell phones and remove ear pods while crossing the street.

-Use sidewalks whenever possible instead of the side of the road.

It's very important that parents and guardians keep their contact information up to date to ensure they receive important school and District updates and messages.

Make sure to provide your current phone number, home address, and email address to your child's school by contacting the main office. 

It is also important that you review and update your child’s health consent forms each year, which allow us to provide services and screenings as needed.
