Message from Mrs. Kunze
This Saturday, August 6th, we will hold our annual "Get Ready for School" event. We ask that you please attend during your assigned time to ease wait time in lines. We understand if you have a conflict and need to attend a different time slot, but if all 1,271 did this the lines would be incredibly long.
Saturday will be crowded, so we ask that you please be patient and bring a positive attitude. Remember that most workers at the stations are VOLUNTEERS, who are giving up their Saturday to assist us. Parking will be available in the back parking lot and all back doors will be open. We ask for safety purposes that you do not park on Greenbriar Road.
In addition, we ask that if you must bring younger siblings that you do not bring a stroller, as the hallways are very crowded.
We are still in need of volunteers, so if you are available to assist, please click on the link below to go to our Sign-Up Genius.

The stations below will be open on Saturday. After you complete Station #1 & #2, you can visit the rest of them in any order. ALL students must complete Stations 1 & 2 even those that attended camp. There have been many schedule changes as we are enrolling students daily.
We still have 95 7th graders who have not provided us with an updated FL 680 Form indicating that the child has received the required tDap vaccination. These students will NOT be allowed to go to Station #1 & #2 until we have the required FL 680 Form. If you bring your FL 680 Form on Saturday, you will need to go to the clinic (main office) first.
Station #1 - Pick-up St Johns County Registration Form and Student Code of Conduct in the library. MUST enter through library side door in main entrance hallway across from the office.
Find a seat in the library to review information on the Registration Form and make any necessary changes. Please highlight changes. We will have pens and highlighters available. Complete pages 60, 61, & 62 in the Student Code of Conduct and tear out these pages.
Station #2 - Schedules in the libary
Take updated Registration Form and Pages 60, 61, & 62 to the schedule tables to receive your schedule and school map.
IF you have a note from a friend allowing you to pick-up their schedule. We will give you their Registration Form and Student Code of Conduct book as well.
