Happy Tuesday, Mustang Families! 💙🐎
We are already off to a fabulous start to the new nine weeks! We are excited about the learning, growth, and opportunities ahead for our Mustangs.
📚 First Nine Weeks Report Cards
Report cards for the first nine weeks were posted in the Parent Portal on Monday. Please take a few moments to review your child’s progress. If you would like to request a conference with your child’s teacher, please reach out through Rooms or call the school, and we will be happy to connect you with your teacher’s voicemail.
📝 We Want to Hear From You!
We are asking all of our parents and guardians to take a few moments to complete the Parent Survey. Your feedback is important to us! We use your input to reflect on our practices and continue working toward providing excellence for our students, families, and community each day.
Complete the survey here:
https://www.duvalschools.org/o/dcps/page/surveys
🗳️ Important Election Information
As we move into early voting over the next few weeks and Election Day approaches, we want to make sure our families are aware of an item on the ballot related to Duval County Public Schools.
Look for the ballot item labeled:
“County Referendum Duval County School District Ad Valorem Millage.”
This referendum asks voters to decide whether to continue an existing source of funding for Duval County Public Schools. A significant portion of these funds supports compensation for teachers and other school employees.
This is not a new funding source or a new tax. It is a continuation of existing funding that requires voter approval.
We encourage our families to learn more about the referendum and make an informed decision when voting.

Subject: County Referendum for Schools – Important Information
Hello Chaffee Trail Elementary-
As a voter, you control a portion of the funding that our schools receive to support our work with students. With early voting beginning soon, I want to make sure that you are fully informed and know what to look for when you vote.
On your ballot, the issue will be titled: County Referendum Duval County School District Ad Valorem Millage
This will be your opportunity to decide if we continue funding approved in 2022 that supports teacher and staff pay, as well as arts and athletics programs throughout DCPS.
The purpose of this email is to ask two things:
Please be informed as you cast your ballot. You can read all about this referendum at www.duvalschools.org/vote
Please help us inform others by talking with family and friends about this issue and sharing information on your social media. We’ve created several informative graphics and videos that you can use. You will find those at Help Inform Voters | Duval County Public Schools
Our district has been “A” rated for two years in a row, and that success is a direct result of the hard work of our teachers every day.
Thank you for taking a moment to be informed on this issue and for anything you can do to help inform others.

Good Evening, Mustang Families! 💙🐴
We have several important reminders and updates to share as we head into the rest of the week. Please take a few minutes to review the information below.
📚 BOOK FAIR eWALLET
We have had several parents ask how they can send money for the Book Fair when they are unable to come to school.
Attached, you will find a QR code for the Book Fair eWallet. You can use the QR code from home or work to set up an account for your student and add funds for them to use at the Book Fair. This is an easy way for your child to shop without having to bring cash to school.
❤️ RED RIBBON WEEK & BOOK CHARACTER PARADE
You will also find information attached about Red Ribbon Week and our Book Character Parade.
IMPORTANT: Your child MUST have a signed permission slip in order to participate in OR watch the parade. Students without a signed permission slip will remain in class during the event.
If your child chooses to participate, please remember that this is a Book Character Parade—not a Halloween parade.
Students participating must:
Dress as a character from a book.
Have the book with them during the parade.
Follow the school dress code and Student Code of Conduct.
Your child's teacher will send home a permission slip or may have already done so. If you are unsure whether you have signed and returned it, please contact your child's teacher through Rooms for confirmation.
🚗 IMPORTANT CAR RIDER REMINDERS
We receive a number of calls and concerns in the afternoons regarding traffic procedures and courtesy in the car rider line. Following the established procedures helps us keep everyone safe and gets our Mustangs home more quickly.
Your car rider number must be submitted on Sam Caruso to Mrs. Doyle. If your number has not been submitted, your student will not be called to the car rider line. You will need to park and wait until 3:15 PM, then walk over with your ID to retrieve your student.
Please do not stop when you see your child. Students and vehicles are directed to pull all the way forward. Following staff directions helps us load multiple vehicles at once and keeps the line moving.
Please do not get out of your vehicle while in the car rider line. If you need to assist your child with a safety lock, car seat, seat belt, or another issue, please pull into the parking lot.
Patrol parents: Please do not park or wait in the car rider line. Park in the parking lot and wait for patrols to be released at 3:10 PM. The car rider line is not a parking area, and stopped vehicles prevent traffic from flowing out of the parking lot.
Thank you for helping us make dismissal safer, faster, and more efficient for everyone.
⏰ LATE PICKUPS
Please remember that all students are expected to be picked up no later than 3:15 PM.
We do not have staff assigned to supervise students after dismissal has ended. The employees who remain with students after that time are staying beyond their scheduled workday.
If your child is regularly unable to be picked up on time(3:15) and is eligible to ride a school bus, please consider using bus transportation. Families of students attending through school choice who are not eligible for bus transportation will need to make alternate arrangements to ensure their child is picked up on time.
We appreciate your help in respecting our staff members' time and, most importantly, ensuring that every Mustang has a safe and dependable plan for getting home each afternoon.
👨👧 ALL PRO DAD
We had a GREAT turnout for All Pro Dad/Parent last night! Thank you to all of our families who joined us. We hope to see even more of you next month!
Be on the lookout for information about our next monthly meeting. 💙
🌙 FALL SAFETY REMINDER
As we move further into the fall season, it is darker in the mornings when some of our students are walking or waiting at bus stops.
Please remind your children to stay aware of their surroundings, use extra caution near roadways, and wear bright or reflective clothing whenever possible. We want all of our Mustangs to arrive at school safely.
Thank you, Mustang families, for your continued partnership and support. Have a wonderful evening, and we look forward to seeing all of our Mustangs back tomorrow bright and early!

October Family Newsletter
Hope to see you tomorrow night!
Dear Mustang Families,
I want to make you aware of a safety situation that occurred on campus today.
During the school day, our Centegix safety alert system was accidentally activated, which initiated a schoolwide lockdown. There was no threat or danger to our campus, students, or staff. Once we confirmed that the alert had been activated accidentally, the lockdown was cleared and normal school operations resumed.
Because the alert occurred during a lunch period, some of our students were in the cafeteria at the time. Our students and staff immediately followed our established lockdown procedures, including moving to the designated secure areas for that location.
While this was not a planned drill, it provided us with an opportunity to see our safety procedures in action. We are proud of how our students and staff responded. As we do following any safety drill or activation, our administrative team will review what occurred, identify anything we can improve, and reinforce procedures with staff and students.
We also recognize that an unexpected lockdown can feel concerning or confusing to students. Teachers and staff will continue to reassure students that they were safe and that following these procedures is one of the ways we work together to keep everyone protected.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work every day to keep our Mustangs safe.
With Mustang PRIDE,
Casie Doyle
Principal
Chaffee Trail Elementary School
