Sunday Call Blast 1/28/2024

From Principal Maldonado:

Greetings Duval MYcroSchool families! 

There is information in the Google classroom about the Student Handbook for 2324, Acceptable Technology Use Policy, Code of Conduct, School Uniform, and school safety information.  Students that are not in school uniform will NOT be admitted to class until someone can bring them school uniform.  Uniform t-shirts and sweatshirts can be purchased with correct change, cash only, in the front office from 9am-3pm M-F with a limit of 3 shirts per person.  Other uniform pieces include khaki pants, and closed toe shoes.  Crocs and croc-like shoes are not allowed.

Teachers are the first point of contact for issues and concerns.  Make sure your student knows who his or her advisory teacher is.  This person is found on their schedule.  Teacher emails are listed on www.duvalmycroschool.org. The advisory teacher will support them through their educational journey in addition to the other staff at Duval MYcroSchool. 

Please keep in mind that each student has a specific shift.  AM students go from 7:30am-12:34pm, and PM students attend at 10:02am-3:11pm.  Please make note of early dismissal days as we do follow the district calendar, but due to testing and other academic functions, we have more early dismissal days.  BOTH SHIFTS attend from 7:30am-12:34pm on early dismissal days.  Please see our school calendar posted on our website and social media.  Do not bring your scholar to any other shift other than the one on their schedule.  Students will not be allowed in if they are more than half an hour tardy for school.  This policy is in our student handbook on our website and in the Google Orientation classroom.

If your student has not been reporting to school, he or she needs to call us and report immediately to Ms. Green so they can be counseled to a more appropriate setting that will work for them.  Duval MYcroSchool now has a waitlist, and we would like to extend a helping hand to those students waiting to enroll that want to graduate.

Senior warning letters are going home to those students in danger of not graduating.  Please make sure to check your mail.  If you have any questions, please contact lyvonia.green@duvalmycroschool.org.

If your student hasn’t been at school he or she is missing state testing requirements.  Please make sure your student gets to school accordingly as the amount of students that we test is how the school is held accountable by the state.

January 31, 2024 is a DCPS early dismissal day.  Please remember that on all early dismissal days, PM students are to attend with the AM shift.

February 10, 2024 is ACT National Test Day.  Report time to your test center is 7:30 am.

February 14, 2024 is a MYcroSchool Early Dismissal Day. Reminder that PM students are required to attend the AM shift. Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 15, 2024 is the in school Classical Learning Test.  This will give our students a chance to earn a concordant score in math and reading.  Students registered for this test will be given notice in advance.  Students not registered for this test must return their signed letter excusing their absence to be able to work from home.  Please keep in mind that teacher availability will be limited at school this day.

February 19, 2024 all schools are closed in observance of President’s Day.

February 23, 2024 is the deadline to register for March SAT.

February 28, 2024 is a DCPS early dismissal day.  Reminder that PM students are expected to attend the AM shift.

February 29, 2024 is the Leap Year Day! 

Seniors, please remember to put your down payment on your senior package with Mr. Johnson!  Thank you to those families that got their payment in on time.  Please remember to view the Band app and Google classroom for all senior information and announcements.

Please observe reporting threats of violence on the link to FortifyFLorida on our website.  The school needs your support for monitoring your student’s social media and internet time.  If your student brings drama and violence to school, there will be consequences.  Parents, please discuss our code of conduct found on our website with your student and the importance of limiting time on mobile devices, as well as creating a negative digital record for oneself.  Students need to understand that making threats over the internet can cause police intervention these days and that there are more consequences to social media threats of violence than just what the school can divvy out.

Finally, please make sure you have provided an email so you may receive progress reports in your inbox on Sunday evenings.  If you don’t see a progress report, let us know. Scholarship warnings will go out when we return from Winter break. Please make sure to clear your junk mail if you do not see weekly communications from us.  Edmentum will send you a progress report each Sunday at 6pm. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
