Good morning, Ramona families,

This is Mr. Greene, your assistant principal with an attendance update. The results are officially in, and what a CLOSE RACE we had for October's Attendance Challenge! First, let me congratulate our 2nd Grade Team for becoming our OCTOBER ATTENDANCE CHAMPIONS!

I must say that our second graders were READY for the Water Balloon Challenge! They showed me absolutely NO MERCY! I thought those students loved me, but after the way they launched those water balloons, I'm beginning to question everything! They came with one mission, and that was to SOAK Mr. Greene! Mission accomplished! I certainly enjoyed seeing the excitement, laughter, and school spirit from our students.

Now, let's look at just how close this competition was!

🏆 OCTOBER ATTENDANCE FINAL RESULTS 🏆

🥇 2nd Grade — 91.78%

🥈 3rd Grade — 91.73%

🥉 5th Grade — 91.11%

4th Grade — 91.01%

Kindergarten — 89.48%

1st Grade — 88.08%

Can we talk about that difference between 2nd and 3rd grade? Just 0.05 percentage points separated our champions! That is how much EVERY DAY and EVERY STUDENT matters!

While we certainly have reason to celebrate, we also have some work to do. Our overall schoolwide Average Daily Attendance (ADA) for October was 90.43%, our LOWEST attendance rate of the school year thus far. This is a reminder that we cannot afford to lose focus on attendance.

As we continue Breaking the Code to Success, we must remember that students cannot master what they are not present to learn. Every instructional minute matters, and consistent attendance is essential to achieving our goal of becoming an "A" school!

However, we must continue to push! Our schoolwide ADA goal is 92% or higher, and we have some ground to make up. Let's be intentional about following our attendance expectations, celebrating students who show up consistently, and working together to remove barriers that prevent students from attending school.

To our 2nd Grade Team, congratulations again! You earned those bragging rights, and your students certainly earned the opportunity to attack their Assistant Principal with water balloons!

Let's make November even better! I look forward to our next attendance challenge and seeing which grade level will rise to the occasion!

Remember: ATTENDANCE starts with "A," and we cannot be on our "A" Game if our students are not in the game!

Let's keep showing up, pushing forward, and SOARING toward SUCCESS!

Good afternoon, Ramona Boulevard Elementary Families,

We want to inform you that Bus #4 currently does not have an assigned driver for afternoon dismissal today. Transportation is actively working to secure coverage; however, we do not have a confirmed driver or estimated arrival time at this time.

We are asking all families with students assigned to Bus #4 to please make arrangements to pick up their children through our car rider dismissal process today.

We understand that this may cause an inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for the disruption. Please know that student safety remains our top priority.

We will communicate any updates regarding bus coverage as information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation.

Hello, family, friends, and community supporters!

This is Mr. Greene, Assistant Principal at Ramona Boulevard Elementary School, and I'm asking for your support as we work toward raising $22,000 to send our Safety Patrols to Washington, D.C., in 2027!

This opportunity is especially meaningful to me because I was once a fifth-grade Safety Patrol, and I had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. myself! I still remember that experience, and now, as an assistant principal, I want to help provide our students with that same unforgettable opportunity.

Our Safety Patrols demonstrate leadership, responsibility, service, and commitment to their school community. This trip will allow them to explore our nation's capital, experience history firsthand, and create memories that can last a lifetime.

Our fundraising goal is $22,000, and we need YOUR help to make it happen! ❤️💙

Through our school's Changemaker Fundraiser, you can support our students by making a donation or even rounding up your everyday purchases to contribute your spare change.

Every dollar counts! Whether you give $5, $10, $25, $100, or simply share our fundraiser with others, your contribution can make a BIG difference!

As we continue Breaking the Code to Success – We're on Our "A" Game, we want our students to know that their dreams and opportunities extend far beyond the classroom.

📱 Scan the QR code on the attached flyer to become a Changemaker!

You can also text RBES to 404-994-3399 to get started.

$22,000 is our goal. Washington, D.C., is our destination. Our students are our WHY!

Thank you for investing in our future leaders and helping us turn this dream into a reality.

🎶 Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious? 🎶

❤️💙 RAMONA'S VERY OWN… DR. DEVONNE LAMPKIN! ❤️💙

October is National Principals Month, and we couldn't let this special month pass without celebrating the phenomenal woman and leader who pours so much into The Boulevard!

Last Friday, the faculty and staff of Ramona Boulevard Elementary secretly planned a day filled with balloons, love, and heartfelt appreciation for our amazing principal, Dr. Devonne Lampkin! 🎈

But there was a twist! Each staff member was challenged to present Dr. Lampkin with a special balloon and a message from the heart. The one rule? The balloon couldn't say "Thank You!" Instead, each balloon carried words that reflected the love, admiration, and appreciation we have for our leader. Throughout the day, she was showered with reminders of just how much she means to us!

To know her is to love her!

Dr. Lampkin is a woman of wisdom, a woman with a heart of gold, and a truly virtuous woman. Her leadership is rooted in compassion, strengthened by conviction, and guided by an unwavering commitment to children, teachers, and families.

Under her leadership, Ramona Boulevard Elementary has soared from a "D" school to a "B" school for THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS!

And while we celebrate how far we've come, we know the best is yet to come! As we continue "Breaking the Code to Success" and striving to earn our first-ever "A" school grade, we stand in GREAT EXPECTATION because we have a leader we believe in, a leader we respect, and, most importantly, a leader we genuinely LOVE to follow!

Dr. Lampkin, thank you for your CARE, COMPASSION, CHARISMA, and CONCERN! Thank you for leading with love, serving with purpose, and never settling for anything less than excellence. Thank you for educating not only the children of The Boulevard but also the teachers and staff who grow under your leadership.

You don't just lead a school. You inspire a family! ❤️

NOW, WE HAVE ONE SPECIAL REQUEST!

To everyone reading this message—parents, students, staff, former colleagues, community members, and friends—we invite you to FLOOD THE COMMENTS with words of love, appreciation, thanks, and encouragement for Dr. Lampkin!

Let's give her flowers while she can smell them!

🎶 She is LOVELY!
🎶 She is WONDERFUL!
🎶 She is PRECIOUS!
🎶 She is ONE OF A KIND!

And we are blessed to call her OUR PRINCIPAL! ❤️💙

Happy National Principals Month, Dr. Devonne Lampkin! 👑

With love, your Ramona Boulevard Elementary Family!

Dear Ramona Boulevard ElementaryFamilies, 

From October 5-23, Ramona Boulevard Elementary will participate in the districtwide Data Triangle Survey. 

Students in grades 4-12, staff, families, and community members will have opportunities to share their experiences and perspectives. The feedback helps our school understand what is working well and where we should focus our improvement efforts. 

Before the survey begins, families can visit https://duvalschools.org/surveys to learn more and preview the survey questions. Parents and guardians of students in grades 4-12 may also choose to opt their student out of the student survey. Opt-out requests must be submitted through the Parent FOCUS account by October 4. Additional information is available at the link above. 

We look forward to hearing from our students, staff, and families during the survey window.

Good afternoon, Ramona Parents and Families,

This is Mr. Greene, your Assistant Principal, coming to you with an important message regarding transportation safety and expectations.

I understand that our bus situation has been frustrating at times this school year, and I sincerely appreciate the patience many of our families have demonstrated. However, even when we are frustrated, we must continue to follow established safety protocols and treat those serving our students with respect.

When we have a substitute bus driver, the driver will ask for identification and confirmation of who you are before releasing a kindergarten student from the bus. Please understand that this is not intended to inconvenience you—it is a safety measure designed to ensure that our youngest students are released to the appropriate adult.

Parents and guardians should not enter the school bus to retrieve a child or engage with the driver in a disrespectful, threatening, or disruptive manner. Entering the bus without authorization creates an additional safety concern for the driver and all students on board.

We have been fortunate to have drivers willing to assist with transporting our students when coverage is needed. The behavior of both students and adults can impact transportation operations and the willingness and ability of drivers to support particular routes. We want our interactions to reflect the type of school community we are working to build.

I recognize that delays, substitute drivers, and changes in transportation can be frustrating. Your concerns are valid, and we want to hear them—but we must address those concerns appropriately. If there is an issue, please contact the school so that administration can assist rather than confronting the driver.

As adults, we set the example for our children. They are watching how we respond when situations do not go as planned. I am asking our entire Ramona community to model respectful communication, follow safety protocols and procedures, and work together to resolve concerns appropriately.

As we continue Breaking the Code to Success, it will take our entire school community being on our “A” Game. I truly believe we have what it takes to become an “A” school, and that includes excellence not only academically, but also in how we treat and support one another.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership this school year. If you have a transportation concern or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or our Principal, Dr. Lampkin, so that we can assist.

Let’s keep our students safe, support one another, and continue Breaking the Code to Success!

📣 Ramona Families, the challenge is ON! 🎈💦

This is Mr. Greene, Assistant Principal, and I’m putting myself on the line for ATTENDANCE! Our schoolwide attendance goal for the 2026–2027 school year is 92% ADA (Average Daily Attendance), and we are off to a strong start!

❤️💙 In August, Ramona achieved 92.3% ADA, exceeding our schoolwide goal! 3rd Grade took the attendance crown for August 🏆, and we are currently awaiting September’s final results to see which grade level comes out on top.

Now, we’re turning up the competition for October! Every day a student is present and on time helps their grade level—and our entire school—stay above our 92% goal.

And October comes with a BIG reward! 👀 The grade level with the highest ADA for October will earn the opportunity to throw WATER BALLOONS at me—Mr. Greene! 😂💦🎈 The Water Balloon Challenge will take place on November 6, 2026!

Kindergarten through 5th Grade, WHO’S GOT THE BEST ADA? Come to school each day, arrive on time, and be ready to learn!

🔐 Breaking the Code to Success: We’re on Our “A” Game! Let’s keep Ramona at 92% and above!
