We are proud to support our Military Students!

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 Mayport Coastal Sciences Middle School, our military transitional staff will support you with completing your school-based registration process.

We look forward to welcoming you to MCSMS! For transitional enrollment support, please reach out to our school’s Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) Fernette Hoag or Chris Koek, our School Military Point of Contact (MPOC) for school transitional planning and support. 

Ms Hoag can be reached by email at hoagf@duvalschools.org OR Mr. Koek can be reached at koekc@duvalschools.org to schedule your student-lead transitioning tour of our school today. 

Student Registration

Families new to DCPS must create their Parent and Student FOCUS accounts by visiting the online enrollment process @ https://dcps.duvalschools.org/enroll.

We know that transitioning into a new school can be stressful, so please reach out to our staff after you have completed the initial district enrollment process with the Office of School Choice. To further support your family’s introduction into our learning community, active-duty service members – of transitioning military students – can request a one-on-one orientation session. Our transition team will gladly guide you through the enrollment process here at MCSMS!

To request our military student transitional support, please contact our school liaison.
