MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Whichever school you choose, parent and guardian involvement is critical to student
success. Students achieve when parents or guardians are involved in their education.
Involvement with your child’s education can be easy:
• Establish a good relationship with your child’s teachers. Ask teachers how you can
best reinforce lessons at home.
• Create a quiet, well-lit space for homework; turn off televisions and limit distractions.
• Ensure your child has time to complete homework and let the teacher know if your
child is struggling.
• Make sure you communicate the importance of education to your child. Let them
know that good school behavior and trying their best at school makes you proud.
Encourage your child when they struggle, and celebrate them when they succeed.
Dr. Diana Greene, Superintendent Team Duval represents all the people who are contributing to your child’s success.
As parents and guardians, you are an important part of our team. If you ever have
questions about how you can better support your child, or if you have input on your
child’s educational experience, I encourage you to speak with your child’s teachers and
school principal. Open communication between you, your child and your school team
is essential to a great learning experience. On behalf of everyone at Team Duval, I wish
your children the very best education in whichever school you choose.
Sincerely,
EVERY SCHOOL. EVERY CLASSROOM. EVERY STUDENT. EVERY DAY.

In the morning, transportation is currently provided to students attending Darnell-Cookman, Kirby-Smith, Landon,
LaVilla, James W. Johnson, Joseph Stilwell, Young Men’s Leadership Academy and Young Women’s Leadership
Academy on neighborhood buses to the neighborhood high school followed by shuttle service to the magnet school.

Bus stops and times are subject to change for the 2019-2020 school year. To be eligible for transportation, students
must apply to a magnet school by the February 28, 2019 application deadline. Once accepted, families may view
current bus routes at www.duvalschools.org. A Magnet Bus Stop Form can be submitted to the Transportation
Department. Stops will be added according to guidelines, and submission of form does not guarantee a stop will be
added. For more information regarding transportation, contact the Transportation Department at (904) 858-
6200. To download a Magnet Bus Stop Form, visit www.duvalschools.org/schoolchoice in the forms section.
*Express Routes have limited bus stops and are located at or near a Duval County public school or other public location
selected by the Transportation Department. The District distance-to-stop policy does not apply to Express Routes.
Parents or guardians are responsible for transporting and supervising their children to and from bus stops.
