What is the magnet lottery?
The lottery is the process used to place students in for our magnet program when the number of applications exceeds the number of available seats
Do military families have priority in the magnet lottery?
Military families who are interested in exploring their choices should email our Military Liaison
Do I have sibling preference?
Sibling preference is for a student who has a sibling residing at the same address who attends a magnet program at the same school and is eligible to return next year. Siblings applying for the first time are not eligible to receive sibling preference. Siblings are defined as brother, sister, step-brother, step-sister, half-brother, half-sister living at the same address.
Do I have to get the principal's signature?
No, it is not required, but it does give your student a priority in the magnet lottery. The priority applies to students whose parents attend a tour or open house at the magnet school they are applying for and have the principal’s signature indicating attendance. Schools will enter tour/open house attendance electronically through FOCUS.
I live outside the attendance area, is there transportation available for magnet students?
Mayport Middle utilizes the Coastal Transportation Plan to provide limited service via shuttle buses from Fletcher, Sandalwood and Terry Parker high schools. Parents are responsible for getting their students to and from Fletcher, Sandalwood and Terry Parker.
Are school uniforms required?
Currently Mayport Coastal Sciences Middle School does not require daily school uniforms. However, physical education classes, athletic teams, and some clubs require uniforms.
