Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! Our paras are the heartbeat of our school --leading small groups, supporting in the café, keeping arrival and dismissal running smoothly, and stepping in for everything in between. Thank you for the care, patience, and dedication you all bring every single day. We are better because of you!

✨ Thank you to all the families who joined us for Math & Science Night! ✨
We loved spending the evening reviewing our math and science benchmarks, sharing upcoming testing dates, and sending home hands‑on math materials to support learning. A huge shout‑out to Writejustness for making the night extra fun with engaging activities, including making ice cream in a bag. What a sweet way to learn! 🍦🔬➗📏
We appreciate your support and partnership in your child’s learning. 💙
We’re celebrating the magic of numbers, patterns, and problem‑solving with a full week of spirit‑day fun. Each day spotlights a different area of math—because math is everywhere, and learning it can be a blast. See flyer for each spirt day starting Monday (3/9).
Amistad, Altruismo, Rêveur, and Isibindi brought the energy for our House Color day! During our House meetings, students and staff teamed up to create vibrant hallway displays that showcase our unity, creativity, and House pride. Our halls have never looked more inspiring.

CELEBRATING SCHOOL COUNSELORS — Team Duval is proud to recognize National School Counseling Week and the incredible impact our more than 240 school counselors make every single day. They advocate for students, help them navigate their academic journeys, and guide them toward their goals. Our success as an A-rated district with a 97.6% graduation rate would not be possible without these dedicated professionals. As part of this special week, dozens of counselors gathered at the Schultz Center for their annual conference, focused on building student “superpowers” like grit and resilience – perfectly aligned with the national theme of helping students thrive and preparing them for college, career, and life. Their commitment to growing their own “superpowers” directly fuels student success across Team Duval. Join us in thanking our outstanding school counselors for the lasting difference they make in our schools and community!
We’re gearing up for a full week of celebrating the joy of reading, imagination, and learning. Each day comes with a fun spirit theme to help us show off our love for books in creative ways!
