CELEBRATING SCHOOL COUNSELORS — Team Duval is proud to recognize National School Counseling Week and the incredible impact our more than 240 school counselors make every single day. They advocate for students, help them navigate their academic journeys, and guide them toward their goals. Our success as an A-rated district with a 97.6% graduation rate would not be possible without these dedicated professionals. As part of this special week, dozens of counselors gathered at the Schultz Center for their annual conference, focused on building student “superpowers” like grit and resilience – perfectly aligned with the national theme of helping students thrive and preparing them for college, career, and life. Their commitment to growing their own “superpowers” directly fuels student success across Team Duval. Join us in thanking our outstanding school counselors for the lasting difference they make in our schools and community!




This week we are celebrating School Counselor Week! We are excited to recognize and appreciate our amazing school counselor, and all that Ms. Turano does for our students.
Please be sure to check the attached photo, which shows the daily dress-up themes and activities planned for each day of the week. We hope everyone will join in the fun and celebration!
Thank you for your continued support.

Families are invited to join us tonight at 6:00 PM for our Title 1 Literacy Night! 🎪📚
Enjoy Carnival-themed escape rooms and then visit the Book Fair with your students afterward. We hope to see you there for a fun evening of learning and excitement!
