Please contact Karen Stephan if you are able to help with any of the following volunteer opportunities:
March 3: Need volunteers to help with Picture Day for class and individual pictures.  This will take all day.  We can use any time you can give.
March 4: Sip & Read - Need volunteers to help distribute smoothies to our students at 1:30pm for the Book of the Month reading.

Library: Need help in the Media Center on Mondays, Tuesdays, and some Fridays returning library materials to shelves.
Art: Need volunteers to assist our Art Teacher with art classes specifically in the afternoon with Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.

Survey: Tell Them What You Think

The Florida Dept of Education is working with schools to gather information on how well parents think their child’s school is partnering with parents of students with disabilities, and would like to include your input. Your responses will guide efforts to improve services and results for children and families.


Who should fill out the survey?

All parents of children with disabilities and a current IEP in grades preschool to grade 12 (note: this survey is not about gifted programs and services.)

Go to ESEsurvey.com to complete the survey anytime between now and June 30th 2011.

Parking on the Grass

Parking on the grass has become a concern.  While the school appreciates that parents want to walk their children up to the building, some concerns have been raised to the Administration that parents are not properly parking in the grass section or are even driving onto the sidewalk

Please realize that parking in that area is a courtesy and be mindful of everyone's safety when parking in that area.  Thank you.

Kindergarten Performs this Thursday

Please join us for our PTA meeting this Thursday February 17th at 7:00pm and enjoy a performance by our Kindergarteners.  It will certainly be an entertaining night!

Send in BoxTops by Friday

Don't forget to send in any BoxTops you have collected by this Friday, February 18th. Please include your child's name and teacher because the class with the most BoxTops will win an ice cream party.

Come Counting with Us!

Thank you to all our parents who are collecting BoxTops to earn money for our school!  We are now in need of some great volunteers to help us count all those cash-earning rectangles!!  We will be counting BoxTops this Friday, February 11th at 9:00am.

If you are interested in helping us count so that we can meet our deadline to submit all collected BoxTops, please contact Karen Stephan at 382-7161.

Boundary Changes for Kernan Trail Elementary

The Duval County School Board voted 7-0 to re-establish the boundaries for Kernan Trail Elementary School.  To decrease overcrowding, the School Board voted to have 3 neighborhoods redistricted to other schools.  Wynnfield Lakes and Hawkins Cove subdivisions have been reassigned to the new school off North Kernan for the 2011-2012 school year.  Bentwater Place subdivision area will be reassigned to Abess Park Elementary for the 2011-2012 school year.
