Dear Families,
Exciting news! I will be leading a group from our school community on an educational tour in the summer of 2027.
Selected students, parents and faculty are going to have the most unforgettable experience in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Together, we will stroll down iconic canals and pass narrow rows of gabled houses in Amsterdam, before delving into the country’s poignant past at the Anne Frank House. In Brussels, we’ll see how the European Union headquarters lends the city a note of modern political importance. And in Paris, we’ll experience a strong sense of culture, history, and national pride within the iconic landmarks and world-class art museums. It’s going to be incredible!
I will be hosting an info session for families to learn more on Thursday, February 20th. A parent/guardian RSVP is required to receive the meeting location and the follow up information.
Please RSVP here: https://bit.ly/4g6lhlP
I am looking forward to this fantastic journey together and I hope to see you on February 20th!
Sincerely,
Brittany Hansen

Good evening, Peterson People,
Our schools are eligible to receive additional federal funding for students whose parents work at Jacksonville’s Navy bases or other U.S. government agencies, such as the Postal Service.
This funding supports our schools by helping to pay teachers and staff, purchase instructional materials, and cover other school expenses.
To secure these funds, parents and guardians need to confirm their federal employment status through an annual survey.
If you haven't completed the survey already, please take a moment to use your linked parent account to access FOCUS in the Family Portal and fill out this brief survey. Thank you for helping us secure valuable resources for our students!
Completing this survey will provide you full access to your OneView account, including your parent Focus account.
