A letter from our Superintendent:
Welcome Back
DCPS employees...
I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer, and that you and your families stayed safe through Tropical Storm Fay. I would like to start this year off by saying thank you for your enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism as we begin a year with endless opportunities.
Over the summer, many of the district’s administrators and their staff have worked diligently to prepare for a flawless school opening and a successful school year. Many teachers, as well as administrators, have been involved in professional development workshops and training sessions to help them meet the needs of our students.
During this school year, we will remain focused on improving the academic achievement for all our students. Our most recent FCAT scores showed that more Duval County students are performing at or above grade level in reading, math and science. I am pleased by the positive direction in which our students are moving, and I expect that we will see even greater improvements this year.
As we begin this school year, we are faced with many challenges that I’m sure we will overcome as one unified team with the joint mission of providing high quality educational opportunities that will inspire all students to acquire and use the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a global economy, and culturally diverse world.
I look forward to working with you as we impact the lives of more than 120,000 students that have been entrusted to us.
Sincerely,
 |
Ed
