From Principal Maldonado:
Greetings Duval MYcroSchool families
We hope you have an amazing school year with Duval MYcro! For those of you that are new and returning students and families we welcome you!
There is information in the Google Classroom Virtual Orientation about the Student Handbook for 2526 posted on our website, Acceptable Technology Use Policy, Code of Conduct, School Uniform, and school safety information. Parents and students need to ensure that students have left the school no later than 15 minutes after dismissal. Students are still being left up at the school until well after 3:30pm and that is unacceptable. When students are not picked up or do not ride the bus, and are left up at the school in an unsafe situation, the school has to report it to DCF. We are small and do not have the manpower or budget to pay staff to stay late waiting for students to be picked up. Please make transportation arrangements ahead of time and a plan for severe weather and traffic. We appreciate your efforts!
Additionally, all communications will go on the school’s Band app. For questions about virtual orientation, please email Mr. Booth, Mrs. Waters, or Mr. McDonald at stephen.booth@duvalmycroschool.org, anne.waters@duvalmycroschool.org, and evan.mcdonald@duvalmycroschool.org
Students will not be able to start school on their first day unless they already have their uniform. Uniform t-shirts and sweatshirts can be purchased with correct cash only in the front office with a limit of 3 shirts per student. We strongly suggest that you purchase at least 1 sweatshirt and multiple undershirts to wear underneath, as the building temperature can vary. The dress code is in the student handbook on our website at www.duvalmycroschool.org.
Teachers are the first point of contact for issues and concerns. Make sure your student knows who his or her advisory teacher is. Thisperson 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.
Parents, please make sure your students are not coming to school with vapes and marijuana. I will not be allowing any snacks or unsealed drinks in the school due to students hiding contraband and illegal substances. Furthermore, students are sneaking illegal substances into the school and distributing it to other students without disclosing that it is tainted. This is why we cannot risk doing anymore dress down days. Please support us in keeping the school safe by reading the code of conduct posted on our website in the student handbook and encouraging your student not to take any food or drink from anyone, other than their reward snacks from the principal.
AM students go from 8:30am-1:34pm, and PM students attend at 9:46am-2:50pm. 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 8:30am-1:34pm on early dismissal days. Please see our school calendar posted on our website and social media. Students will not be allowed in if they are more than fifteen minutes tardy for school. This policy is in our student handbook on our website and in the Virtual Orientation classroom.
