🎉 Get Ready to AttenDANCE 🎉
This exclusive, in school event, is specially designed to reward our dedicated students who achieve 100% perfect attendance for the entire month of October (October 1st – October 31st).
What Counts as Perfect Attendance?
Students, to earn your ticket to the dance, you must be at school every single day for the full day. As per Principal Gentry, this means:
No late arrivals (excused or unexcused)
No absences (excused or unexcused)
No early check-outs (excused or unexcused)
Every single minute counts! Be here, arrive on time, and stay for throughout the school day in order to secure your spot on the dance floor. Let's make every day in October count!

📸🐊❤️ Celebrating World Heart Day! ❤️🐊📸
Everyone at Spring Park Elementary was encouraged to wear red to school today to recognize World Heart Day and help raise awareness about the importance of heart health. We loved seeing our students and staff showing their support and coming together for such an important cause! Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make our school shine RED today! A special thank you to Ms. Resta, Ms. Ocasio, Ms. Affatato, Ms. El Dabai and Ms. A Taylor for sharing today's photos with us!




Spring Park Gators, let’s show our support for healthy hearts! ❤️🫶
On Tuesday, September 29th, we encourage everyone to wear RED as we recognize World Heart Day and help spread awareness about the importance of taking care of our hearts.
🐊❤️ Let’s paint Spring Park RED! ❤️🐊





📚⭐ Attendance Matters! Every school day is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, and build positive relationships. Consistent attendance helps students stay on track academically and make the most of their time at school. Please take a moment to review the information in these flyers, from Duval County Public Schools, regarding attendance, excused and unexcused absences, and what families can expect if absences continue. Every day counts. Every student matters! Thank you for your support in your child's education. We appreciate you!




A reminder to our Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 3rd Grade families that students will participate in vision and hearing screenings on Monday, September 14th. Students who wear glasses or have a vision prescription should bring their glasses to school on Monday so the glasses can be used during the vision screening. Thank you for helping us make sure our students are prepared!
