Dear families and staff,
Two meetings have been scheduled for a stakeholder working group to discuss and recommend new school boundaries potentially impacting multiple middle schools on the Westside for the 2025-26 school year.
The boundary change discussion involves the following middle schools: Chaffee Trail Middle, Westside Middle, Westview K-8, Baldwin Middle-Senior, and Lakeshore Middle School. The change is under consideration due to significant overcrowding projected at Chaffee Trail Middle School.
Here is the information for the upcoming meetings:
Feb. 6, 2025, at 5:30 p.m.
Feb. 10, 2025, at 5:30 p.m.
Both meetings will be held at:
Edward H. White High School (Room: Houston Hall)
1700 Old Middleburg Rd. N.
Jacksonville, FL. 32210
Both meetings are open to the public and include a time for public comment.
Attention parents! The window to submit School Choice applications closes tomorrow, January 31st. Be sure to check out all of the opportunities for students in Duval County Public Schools. Please be aware that Chaffee Trail Elementary will not have lottery seats available for the 2025-2026 school year. Due to an increase in attendance zone numbers, we are unable to offer spots to those outside of our current zone.

Yearbook Reminder

Happy New Year Mustang Family! We hope you have had a wonderful break. Are your children bored yet? Remind them there is still time for them to beat their boredom while preparing for their return to school in a few short days. They can complete the winter packet if they are bored. If they turn it in on Tuesday completed in its entirety, they will receive a treat, and their name will be entered into a drawing for some fun prizes. We will send a parent newsletter with updates and reminders on Monday. We hope you enjoy the next 2 days remaining on winter break. We will see students back on Tuesday January 7th starting at 7:50am.
