Resources for Military Families
Switzerland Point Middle School supports our military-connected students and families.
Switzerland Point Middle School is proud to support our military-connected students and families with a military kids club. The military kids club is designed to address the unique lifestyle of military families. Benefits to our students include easing transitions, meeting other military children who share similar circumstances, learning coping skills, and support through deployments and moving. Activities include monthly afterschool meetings, Purple UP month, and support for families; especially during deployments.
As a member of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, Florida recognizes the need to provide support to students of military families. Today’s military children and families experience unique hardships. They move frequently and must adjust to new living environments, schools and peer groups much more than their civilian counterparts. They live through repeated cycles of separation and reunion.
The compact rules are designed to:
- Facilitate the transfer of education records and enrollment
- Promote smooth transitions to graduation
- Promote seamless transitions for course and educational placements
- Consider circumstances for excused absences
- Facilitate eligibility for enrollment in school and extracurricular participation

Military Recognition Events
In honor of Military Child Day, we invite everyone to wear purple on April 15th to show support and appreciation for the incredible resilience and sacrifices of military children. At Switzerland Point Middle School, we honor the resilience and strength of children in military families. Military Child Day is a special opportunity to recognize the unique challenges these children face, from frequent moves to time spent apart from parents serving in the armed forces. Let’s take a moment to show our support and appreciation for these young heroes who demonstrate incredible courage and adaptability. We are proud to stand with them and their families!
