Transition Planning for Military Families

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 Atlantic Beach 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 Atlantic Beach Elementary, the only Lighthouse School at the Beaches. For transitional enrollment support, please reach out to our school’s Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) and our Military enrollment lead, Mrs. Markee, for school transitional planning and support. Mrs. Markee can be reached by phone 904-247-5924 or by email at MarkeeC@duvalschools.org to schedule your student-led transition 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
We know that transitioning into a new school can be stressful, so please reach out to our Military transition team after you have completed the initial district enrollment process with the Office of School Choice. To further support and distress your family’s introduction into our learning community, active-duty service members of transitioning military students, can request a one-on-one orientation session. The school military transition team will guide you through the enrollment process here at Atlantic Beach Elementary. To request our military student transitional support, please contact our school liaison by phone at 904-247-5924 or at MarkeeC@duvalschools.org.
