Instructional Materials Adoption for Personal Financial Literacy and Money Management
The St. Johns County School District has begun its review of instructional materials for Personal Financial Literacy and Money Management (Grades 9-12). These resources are chosen from the list of materials submitted to the Florida Department of Education (Instructional Materials).
You may access digital resources on EdCredible.com, once they are available from the publisher (view instructions for access).
Print Materials: Some printed materials might be available. You may review materials from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM when district offices are open. To access them or receive assistance with online resources, call 904.547.8900.
Get Involved: Parents and community members are encouraged to participate. If you want to join a school committee to serve on a review team, contact any school or call 904.547.8900 by January 10, 2025. Committee spots are limited, and school administrators will select members from those interested.
"Foundations for Lifelong Success: Enhancing Executive Functioning Skills" Virtual Discussion on February 4
Please join us on February 4, 2025, from 6pm to 7:30pm for a virtual discussion titled "Foundations for Lifelong Success: Enhancing Executive Functioning Skills." This informative session will highlight practical strategies to strengthen your child's executive functioning skills, including planning, organization, emotional regulation, and self-control, setting the foundation for lifelong success.
School Access
In an effort to provide safety and security to our students and staff, we check identification for all vendors, visitors, volunteers and parents each time you enter the building. Volunteers must have clearance to enter the building. If you have not already been cleared, please submit a School Access Form. Please input full legal name (first, middle and last) on the application. If you already have clearance, please do not submit an application. Expired accounts will be rerun automatically.
FortifyFL App
FortifyFL is a website and app developed at the direction of the Florida Legislature. Any student, educator, parent, or member of the public can report school safety concerns directly to law enforcement and school administrators anonymously and easily through the FortifyFL app or getfortifyfl.com.
Florida school districts are now required by the FLDOE to make a FortifyFL Training Presentation available to parents and guardians.
