From Principal Maldonado:
Greetings Duval MYcroSchool families and welcome to the 2324 school year. We hope you have an amazing first week of school with Duval MYcro.
Please make sure that your student has completed virtual orientation. If your student hasn’t yet completed it, please check your emails for login information and get that done immediately. If you don’t see it in your email, check your junk box. There is information in the Orientation about the Student Handbook for 2324, Acceptable Technology Use Policy, Code of Conduct, School Uniform, and school safety information. Additionally, if you have not purchased school uniform you need to do that immediately. Students that are not in school uniform will NOT be admitted to class until someone can bring them school uniform. Uniform t-shirts and sweatshirts can be purchased with correct change, cash only, in the front office from 9am-3pm M-F with a limit of 3 shirts per person. Other uniform pieces include khaki pants, and closed toe shoes. If your student does not attend school the first three days, he or she will be forcibly withdrawn from Duval MYcroSchool.
Students will meet their advisory teachers on the first day of school. Teachers are the first point of contact for issues and concerns. Make sure your student knows who his or her advisory teacher is. This person is found on their schedule. 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.
Invites for the College Summit program will go out in a few weeks from your teachers and advisors. Don’t miss the opportunity to earn yourself a light blue cord at graduation and get extra support for your postsecondary journey if you want to go to trade school, military or college.
Please keep in mind that each student has a specific shift. AM students go from 7:30am-12:34pm, and PM students 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. Do not bring your scholar to any other shift other than the one on their schedule. After the first day of school, students will not be allowed in if they are more than half an hour tardy for school. This policy is in our student handbook on our website and in the Virtual Orientation classroom.
Friday, August 25th, 2023 is a MYcroSchool Early Dismissal day and ALL students are expected to attend the AM shift.
Saturday, August 26th, 2023 is SAT National Test Day for select students. Please see Ms Green for your test tickets.
Wednesday, August 30th, 2023 is a DCPS Early Dismissal day and ALL students are expected to attend the AM shift.
Monday, September 4th, 2023 there is No School in observance of Labor Day.
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, let us know.
Please make sure to clear your junk mail if you do not see weekly communications from us. Edmentum will send you a progress report each Sunday at 6pm. See you next Monday morning and have a great school year!
