Dear Duval Families,

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our students and staff at all Duval County Public Schools. To help maintain a secure environment during the school day, Extended Day, and after-school activities, we are reinforcing our visitor safety procedures and ask for your continued cooperation.

Visitor Safety Procedures:

Valid Identification Required: All visitors must present a valid photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, state ID, or passport) upon entering any school campus. Access will not be granted without a valid ID.
Brief Screening Questions: Visitors will be asked a few questions regarding the purpose of their visit to ensure a safe and secure environment.
Individual Entry Protocol: To maintain compliance with these procedures, please do not hold the door open for others entering behind you. Each visitor must check in individually at the front office.
Badge Pass Sticker: Upon check-in, your valid ID will be used to issue a badge pass sticker, which must be worn visibly at all times on campus. Failure to display the sticker will result in being asked to leave.
To help you understand what to expect during your visit, you can watch this helpful video.

These measures are designed to prioritize the safety of your children and our school community. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to keep our schools secure.

If you have any questions, please contact your school’s front office or visit our district website for more information.

Thank you for your support.

Best,
Duval County Public Schools
