Daily car rider drop off may begin at 7:50 am, and should only be done in the parent loop off of San Diego Road in front of the Cafeteria. Student pick-up after school is in the same location from 3:25 – 3:55. Students who are in supervised activities and on campus after 4:00 must be picked up promptly at the conclusion of the activity in the parent loop.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents of the Duval County Schools’ policy regarding students that remain on campus after school. According to page two of the Student Code of Conduct:
Duval County Public School employees are not responsible for supervising students who arrive on school property 30 or more minutes before school or a school-sponsored activity is scheduled to begin. Further, Duval County Public School employees are not responsible for supervising students who remain on school property 30 or more minutes after school ends, or 30 or more minutes after a school-sponsored activity ends.
This means that students remaining on campus after 3:55pm who are not participating in a supervised after-school program will not be in an area that is supervised. We will provide supervision in the mornings beginning at 7:55 a.m. in the cafeteria ONLY. We apologize for any inconvenience this policy may cause and are happy to have further dialogue about possible solutions to any exceptions you may have.
Traffic Pattern Changes Due to I-95 Construction
March 6, 2025
DASOTA Family,
I want to make you aware of an upcoming road closure at the intersection of San Diego Rd and White Ave that may affect your commute to and from school. As you have noticed, FDOT is currently working on the I-95 overpass over San Diego Rd. Beginning in April, the intersection of San Diego Rd and White Ave (in front of the school) will be closed.
None of the parking lots will be blocked. All vehicles entering the student drop-off circle off San Diego Rd will only have access from Spring Park Rd. The bus loading zone/senior parking lot off White Ave will only have access from Atlantic Blvd. There will be a pedestrian sidewalk available for foot traffic underneath the bridge on San Diego Rd throughout the duration of the closures.
FDOT anticipates keeping the closures for the following duration:
San Diego Rd will be closed from April 2025 through Winter 2028
White Ave will be closed from April 2025 through Summer 2026
Please take the next couple of weeks to map out the best route for your commute to and from the school that will allow you to avoid this intersection once the road closures take place. We want to ensure all students are still on time and safe while you make adjustments to your morning commute.
Below is a map overview with the road closures included to give you a visual representation of what will take place in April 2025.
Sincerely,
Timothy M. Feagins, Principal
