🎉Congratulations to Ms. Smart, Sheffield Elementary’s 2026–2027 School Related Employee of the Year! 🎉
Ms. Smart brings a smile, a helping hand, and so much heart to our Sheffield family! Ms. Smart is one of our CSS paras. Her patience, compassion, and passion for working with students shine through in both the classroom and Extended Day. Her colleagues describe her as a hardworking team player who willingly steps in wherever she is needed. Whether she is patiently supporting a student or lending a hand to a colleague, Ms. Smart makes those around her feel supported and valued. As one nomination said, “She is truly one in a million!” Ms. Smart, we see your dedication, appreciate your kindness, and are so proud to celebrate you. Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and families. Please join us in congratulating our very deserving SREOY!

This week, we join districts across Florida in celebrating our gifted teacher, Ms. Peterson!

Thank you, Ms. Peterson, for recognizing our students’ strengths and helping them stretch their thinking, build confidence, and grow academically and personally. We are grateful for the care and creativity you bring to our Sheffield family!

Good morning,

Once a year, the district hires a company to gather feedback about our school. I love that they do this because it gives you a change to let the district know how amazing of a school Wolfson is to you and your family. So, please don't put this off. Stop and take just a couple of minutes to fill out the following "family and community" survey: www.duvalschools.org/surveys.

Thank you for your support!
