Military Familes & Purple Star School

We are proud to support our Military Students!

Thank you for choosing to be a part of Team Duval. With Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport in Duval County, we are home to hundreds of military families and look forward to helping your children thrive academically. 

The district’s Office of School Choice serves as the link between base commanders, military families, and our school. They will assist you with completing the initial enrollment process. Upon enrolling here at  Abess Elementary School, our military transitional staff will support you in achieving your school-based registration process.

Student Registration

Families new to DCPS must create their Parent and Student FOCUS accounts by visiting the online enrollment process

We know that transitioning into a new school can be stressful, so please reach out to our staff after you have completed the initial district enrollment process with the Office of School Choice. To further support your family’s introduction into our learning community, active-duty service members – of transitioning military students – can request a one-on-one orientation session. Our transition team will gladly guide you through the enrollment process here at Abess Park!

To request our military student transitional support, please contact our school liaison.
