Why is the 1 mill back on the ballot this November?

The current 1-mill was approved by Duval County voters in 2022, and under Florida law, voters must consider its continuation every four years.

The 1 mill has helped support teacher compensation and efforts to recruit and retain qualified, certified educators. Since 2022, teacher vacancies have declined, teacher retention has increased, and Duval County Public Schools has become an A-rated district for two consecutive years.

As we approach the November election, we’ll be sharing factual information to help our school community understand what the 1 mill is, how the funding is used, and what voters will be asked to consider.

Good evening, Bayview Braves,
Happy Friday and 10th day of school!
I wanted to thank you all for the patience and understanding as we work through slight hiccups that the beginning of a school year always has but I can genuinely say that these 1st two weeks have been the best start in my 19 years as an educator!

A few reminders:
-ALL students must have clear or mesh backpacks!
-No students can be dropped off on campus prior to 8:00 AM- there is no staff to monitor for safety
-Attendance is EVERYTHING! Please have students on time- 8:35 AM is tardy

I wanted to share the happenings at the 'View for next week:
Bayview’s School Store “The Brave Zone” will be open for business! Students will be able to spend their ClassBank money that they have earned for their positive behavior over the last two weeks!!
Thursday, August 27th from 6-7 PM- Open House for all grade levels- come out and visit with your students' teachers!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend and look forward to seeing our Braves for an amazing 3rd week of school!

Good evening, Bayview Braves!

What a wonderful 1st three days we have had here at the 'View! I know today's dismissal was longer than usual but with the severe weather, we took every precaution to ensure both our students and staffs safety. I appreciate your patience and grace shown as well as the smiles of understanding!

I do need for our families who are car riders for dismissal to remember that Lake Shore Blvd is one lane each way and all cars need to enter our car rider loop from the North, not South. I do understand that the line is very long but I can assure you that it will get quicker- please ensure that for safety that you are not coming from the South to turn left into the loop.

Thank you so much for an amazing start to a wonderful new year!
Stay dry and get some rest.

Always,
Principal York

Good afternoon, Bayview Braves!

This is Principal York here ready to welcome all of our Braves back to school for an amazing year!

School hours are from 8 am- 3:00 pm. Please do not drop off students earlier than 8 am each morning-there is no staff on duty outside to monitor for safety.

Parents, you are welcome to walk your students to their classroom on tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday only. Please remember that instruction begins at 8:30 am so ensure that your student arrives prior to this time to not be counted tardy.

Lastly, dismissal will begin early for the first week of school- with students and staff staging for dismissal at 2:20 pm.

Students will not be released to parents coming into the main office after 2:15 pm due to transitioning for dismissal.

2:30 pm- Walkers will be released and siblings of CSS students will transition to their siblings classroom

2:35 pm- general education car rider pick up will begin- *a red car rider decal must be displayed in the car window

2:40 pm- Communication and Social Skill parent walk up begins

2:45-3:00pm- Bus rider dismissal begins

As a reminder, transportation -both buses and car rider pick up tend to be late the first few days of school. Should you need to contact transportation the numbers are:

Have an amazing night and I look forward to seeing you all for the 1st day of a wonderful school year!
