From Principal Maldonado:
I would like to give a huge shoutout to the parents that partnered with me this week on helping with behavior. Working together, we can ensure that all students are ready for adulting.
Great job to those students keeping up with their work, testing, and attendance. If you are absent for whatever reason, speak with your teachers or Ms. Green for a testing makeup day or you will be missing a chance to pass graduation exams.
Parents, please access our student handbook at www.duvalmycroschool.org or your student’s Google Classroom and understand our policies. Every parent and student has signed at this point stating that they have read and understand. However, students continue to show up in violation of dress code. Crocs are not allowed on any school day other than specific dress down days. If students continue to violate this policy, parents will be called and the student will have to be picked up.
Teachers are the first point of contact for issues and concerns. Make sure your student knows who his or her advisory teacher is. Teacher emails are listed on www.duvalmycroschool.org. The advisory teacher will support them through their educational journey in addition to the other staff at Duval MYcroSchool.
Students and parents, report threats to the school no matter what time of day. Please install the free app at getfortifyfl.com to report tips.
Our next College Summit meeting just for those students who signed up is from 1pm to 4pm, November 17th, 2022 after dismissal. Thanksgiving dinner will be served for all students and families. The entire school community is invited to Thanksgiving dinner as we are also running our College and Career Fair from 1pm-4pm that afternoon as well. Please come out and enjoy some good food and get leads for your post-secondary endeavors.
Please keep in mind that Seniors are in the morning shift and underclassmen are in the afternoon shift. Seniors go from 7:30am-12:34pm, and underclassmen attend at 10:02am-3:11pm. Please make note of early dismissal days as we do follow the district calendar, but due to testing and other academic functions, we have more early dismissal days. BOTH SHIFTS attend from 7:30am-12:34pm on early dismissal days. Please see our school calendar posted on our website and social media.
The next Early dismissal day is Thursday, November 17th, 2022. The College and Career Fair and Thanksgiving Feast will begin at 1pm. All community members are invited.
National SAT day is Saturday, November 5th, 2022 at Duval MYcroSchool.
The FAFSA is now open to all seniors at www.studentaid.gov.
The OSFA is now open to all seniors at floridastudentfinancialaid.org
There is no school Friday November 11th, 2022 for students in recognition of Veteran’s Day.
Students and parents, we must ensure that students are getting to school on time. Citing traffic as to why your student is late is inexcusable. There will always be traffic and accidents. However, we do understand that sometimes life happens, but some people are abusing tardiness every day. School starts at 7:30am for first shift and students will not be allowed in the building if they arrive after 8am. Some students are cutting it way too close. School starts at 10:02am for the second shift. After 10:30am, they will not be allowed in the building and will be marked unexcused. If your student does not arrive in time before the cut off time, the student will be sent home, the parent will be called and the incident documented. Please support us in making sure your student understands that being on time is an important adulting skill that adds to the level of employability and professionalism.
Finally, please make sure you have provided an email so you may receive progress reports in your inbox on Sunday evenings. We have a new curriculum system so more information on weekly progress reports will be forthcoming. If you don’t see a progress report this Sunday evening, let us know.
Please make sure to clear your junk mail if you do not see weekly communications from us. See you next week!
