NEW TO LANDON?

Military families new to Duval County should begin with the district's online enrollment process through FOCUS. Once enrollment has been started, our Landon team can help with the next steps.

We can help with:

  • Registration and enrollment questions

  • Campus tours and orientation

  • Academic programs and course selection

  • Clubs, athletics, and extracurricular activities

  • School-based services and resources

  • Connecting students with their new Landon community

THE LION LINK

The Lion Link is a peer-to-peer, student led, leadership and transition club to connect students while building change and resiliency skills. The club provides opportunities for students to enhance social skills, learn leadership skills, build character, improve self-esteem, and integrate into their community. The Lion Link provides military student support for students to help fellow peers navigate the unique challenges of the military.

A circular logo features a lion, stars, and dandelions. It reads "The LionLink" and "Connect, Support, Lead."

TEAM MEETING:

Each Team Leader is responsible for implementing a Club Feature of The Lion Link. Meetings are held as often as needed before, after, and during school to collaborate with the Lion Link Reps on implementing the Club Features and discuss the current needs of the school and the local community. Team Leaders will complete and submit the meeting minutes to the Advisers.

REAL TALK:

Real Talk focuses on Team Leaders connecting with the student population to explore various transition topics. Team Leaders will use discussion questions and activities to create a safe place to discuss the topics and teach life skills to overcome the transition. Real Talks are held before, after, and during school, and the Lion Link provides topics for the Team Leaders to choose from.

QUOTES:

Team Leaders and the Lion Link Reps will share an inspiring message or quotes to set the stage for daily positive interactions within the school community. The Team Leaders and The Lion Link Reps will not only memorize the quotes but will be able to use the quotes to offer new perspectives on overcoming obstacles.

THE LION LINK KITS:

The Lion Link Middle School Kit provides age-appropriate resources to support students who are experiencing a change. Students who receive a Lion Link Kit are encouraged to take their resources home and share with their families.
