Good morning to all of our Fishweir Families! We hope you are having a wonderful 4 day weekend and wanted to remind you that when you return to school on Wednesday, it will be Fall Picture Day.

📢 Don’t Get Them Confused!
Amendment 3 and the Duval County Public Schools 1-mill referendum are two separate items on the November 3 ballot.
🏫 The 1-mill referendum is a continuation of the millage approved by Duval County voters in 2022. It supports school funding, including teacher pay, as well as arts and athletics.
🏠 Amendment 3 is a proposed change to the Florida Constitution addressing property taxes statewide. The amendment excludes school funding.
Take a look at the graphic for a quick side-by-side comparison and visit www.DuvalSchools.org/Vote for more information about the 1-mill referendum.
Hello Fishweir Families,
This is a friendly reminder that there will be no school for students on Monday, October 12, and Tuesday, October 13. We hope our students and families enjoy the extended break and take time to rest, recharge, and spend time together.
We look forward to welcoming our Deep Divers back to school on Wednesday, October 14!
