Amendment 3 and the Duval County Public Schools 1-mill referendum are two separate items on the November 3 ballot.
🏫 The 1-mill referendum is a continuation of the millage approved by Duval County voters in 2022. It supports school funding, including teacher pay, as well as arts and athletics.
🏠 Amendment 3 is a proposed change to the Florida Constitution addressing property taxes statewide. The amendment excludes school funding.
Take a look at the graphic for a quick side-by-side comparison and visit www.DuvalSchools.org/Vote for more information about the 1-mill referendum.

Do you know a family interested in joining the Mandarin family? We would love to meet them! Please help us spread the word by sharing our upcoming school tour dates with prospective families. School tours are a wonderful opportunity to learn about our programs, meet our staff, and experience what makes Mandarin such a special place to learn and grow.
We look forward to welcoming future Hawks to our Mandarin family!

Attention Gaming Club Parents:
Due to the large number of participants, we will be splitting Gaming Club into two groups starting next week.
We will alternate weeks as follows:
Week 1: 6th graders ONLY
Week 2: 7th and 8th graders
We will continue to alternate in this pattern. This will give all students the opportunity to enjoy Gaming Club to the fullest without running out of chairs and computers.
When we make posts, we will specify which grade level is invited that day on both the school website calendar and social media.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Pikulinski at PikulinskiO@duvalschools.org
