Duval County Public Schools uses Oneview/Focus, an online Student Information System, to help parents stay up-to-date on student information and ensure the school has access to student emergency contact information. The parent portal allows parents to access grades, progress reports/report cards, attendance, and apply for Middle Schools. It is also the system where emergency contact information is held and updated. It is very important that families have access to their child's Focus account by creating a Focus account and linking their account to their child. Information on Focus can be found below.

Title 1 News

Title I, Part A is a key component of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), previously known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Its intent is to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach proficiency on challenging State academic content and performance standards.

Focus areas of Title I include student achievement, parental involvement, high quality teaching, professional development, and supplemental services.

Please make sure you keep your emergency contacts up to date. You can add or change information at the front office.

Mantenga actualizada la información de contacto de emergencia. Pase por la oficina para actualizar la información.

Parents, please remember to bring your state issued id when picking up your student(s).

Padres, recuerden traer su identificación emitida por el estado cuando recojan a su(s) estudiante(s).

Hello Team Duval families,

Your child has a right to be safe at school and learn in an environment free from sexual discrimination and harassment. These rights are rooted in Title IX, a federal civil rights law that makes sex-based discrimination and harassment illegal in schools.

To assist with equipping students with this information, we have created three age-appropriate videos for each grade-level that discuss Title IX and the resources that students have to report concerns.

Over the next few weeks, schools will be reaching out to families regarding when their video presentations are taking place. We wanted to ensure you had the opportunity to view these videos in advance. There are three videos, and each one is geared toward a specific grade band: elementary, middle, high. They can be found at www.duvalschools.org/titleix.

We encourage you to watch these videos with your children. If you would like your child to view the video in school, no further action is required. If you would like to opt your child out of watching the video in school, you can submit a Parent Opt-Out form. You will find this form in Focus under Forms. It is titled “Title IX Grade Level Video Viewing.”

Thank you as always for your support and partnership. If you have any questions related to Title IX, please email TitleIX@duvalschools.org.

We would love to have you volunteer in our school! See the link below for more information.

Stay in contact with your child's teacher to ensure a successful partnership all year long!

4th: Ensure students know their multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and can add and subtract within 1,000.

5th: Ensure students can multiply 2 by 2-digit numbers and understand parts of a fraction.
