Week 2 Updates
Posted by Ciera Johnson on 8/23/2020 8:00:00 AM
Happy Sunday Patriots,
As we start Week 2, I want to tell you how impressed we were bringing up JSMAL here in the building and on Duval HomeRoom. Yes, we had some district wide glitches with Microsoft Teams, but everyone was so flexible, patient and understanding. We have changed the way we bring in cadets with taking temperatures, social distancing, wearing masks AND we are teaching our DVHR cadets online in addition to teaching face to face. All of our normal procedures have changed. We have been stretched, changed, challenged and everyone has stepped up to make this work, in spite of all the obstacles. I am one proud principal!
Cadets did a great job wearing their mask. The mess hall looked and felt so different. It was awesome to have so many of you on the announcements that first day of school. Parents, we did get three water stations delivered. You may continue to send your cadet with a water bottle, but just know cadets do have the ability to get drinking water here at school.
Just a few updates for this week.
1. Only 6th and 7th graders are in the building tomorrow (Monday, Aug 24).
2. 8th graders and Duval HomeRoom are online tomorrow (Monday, Aug 24).
3. We have only accounted for approximately 2/3 of our cadets. Please make sure you are logging in to your online classes when you are supposed to and you are coming to school when you are supposed to. Attendance is really important for schools, especially the first 10 days, so we don't lose any staff members.
4. Cadets attending brick and mortar - If your cadet needs additional face masks, reach out to his or her first period teacher. Many of them are holding onto the mask in the event he or she loses it.
5. If your cadet is still in need of a laptop, please reach out to Ms. Myers at myersv@duvalschools.org
6. Cadets on DVHR - On Wed and Thurs this week we are having an instructional material drive through pick up from 4:30 to 5:30 in our bus loop. All our textbooks and resources are online, however, if your cadet would prefer a physical copy of a workbook or text book, you can come to the drive up this week. The following textbooks/workbooks will be available on Aug 26 and Aug 27 from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
Science - All grade Levels except Biology
Math - All grade Levels except Geometry
Social Studies - 6th Grade US History only
ELA - None available. All online.
