      • Welcome Military Families!

        Thank you for choosing to be a part of Team Duval. With Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport in Duval County, we are home to hundreds of military families and look forward to helping your children thrive academically. 

        The district’s Office of School Choice serves as the link between base commanders, military families, and our school. They will assist you with completing the initial enrollment process. Upon choosing to enroll here at Chimney Lakes Elementary, our military transitional staff will support you with completing your school-based registration process. Our student transition team has received specialized training in supporting our military students.  We look forward to welcoming you to Chimney Lakes Elementary, an International Studies Magnet School. For transitional enrollment support, please reach out to our school’s Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) and our Military enrollment lead, Ms. Williams, for school transitional planning and support.  Ms. Williams can be reached by phone (904) 573-1100 or by email at stevens@duvalschools.org to schedule your student-led transition tour of our school today.
