Serving Those Who Serve Our Country

We will guide you through enrollment

Our Military Transition Team begins working with military families months before they move to Jacksonville. We assist families with priority enrollment, applications, school records, transcripts, creating Linked Parent Accounts, and placing students in the right grade level and courses. We will also facilitate communications between families, schools, and district departments.

Remember - We're a Choice District

Once you are enrolled in Duval County Public Schools, you will also have the option of participating in our choice application process. This is where families can apply to attend a magnet school or another school outside their attendance zone. The application window is Jan. 1 through the last day of February. The Military Transition Team can answer specific questions about enrollment options. 

We offer a variety of academic programs and experiences to meet the unique learning needs and interests of our students. From the Arts to Pre-Kindergarten, we invite you to read more about our offerings below.

The State of Florida has recognized our efforts to support military families in Duval County by naming several of our schools  To earn this designation, schools must demonstrate a commitment to meeting the needs of military students by providing resources and support such as academic planning and designated points of contact for transitioning military families. This award is valid for three years.
