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!

You better watch the skies,
You better check the news,
Garrett’s got the forecast,
He’s sharing it with you!
Garrett Bedenbaugh came to our school!
He taught us about weather,
And how the storms form too,
We learned about the sunshine,
And what the clouds can do!

TODAY is Loretto Spirit Day at Chick Fila at either Mandarin location! Just say you are with Loretto Elementary and 20% of the net sales will go back to our school!
We spotted a certain green mischief-maker and a very festive helper spreading holiday cheer (and maybe a little chaos).
Rumor has it, they were on a mission to make spirits bright and maybe steal a few candy canes along the way.
Happy Holidays!
We are thrilled to celebrate Angela as the recipient of the “Unsung Hero” Award, a special recognition by DCPS School Board Member Melody Bolduc.
This award honors those incredible individuals who give selflessly to our school communities - those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, never seeking the spotlight, but making a lasting impact every single day.
Angela, your dedication and generosity inspire us all. Thank you for being a true hero to our students and staff! 💜👏
