Sunday Call Blast 1/15/2023

From Principal Maldonado:

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.  New students, please be advised that Crocs and other forms of soft rubber shoes 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.

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 FAFSA is now open to all seniors at www.studentaid.gov.

The OSFA is now open to all seniors at floridastudentfinancialaid.org

Please talk to your students about showing up on time for SAT and ACT.  If they’re too late or miss the test, we will not be paying for the student once waivers are exhausted if attendance is an issue.  Parents will have to pay out of pocket.

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.  On early dismissal days, the PM shift students must follow the rules for the AM shift for arrival and dismissal times.

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.
