We are trying to hire the correct number of personnel, so it\u2019s imperative that families register as early as possible and declare their intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How can parents register their children for school?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>A: They can check with their local school, and most of the paperwork is done online. There is an address locator on our main website (www.stjohns.k12.fl.us) that will let residents know exactly which schools their home is zoned for. We encourage parents to register as soon as they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What\u2019s happening in May in the district?<\/strong><br>A: Importantly, we will honor teachers for their hard work each and every day with Teacher Appreciation Week the first week of May. I ask our community to join me in supporting our teachers and celebrating their hard work and the invaluable contributions they make to our students\u2019 education and well being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Do you have any kudos to share?<\/strong><br>A: Yes, we\u2019ve had a number of recognitions and award ceremonies lately. Each school as well as the district has named its Volunteer of the Year in Adult, Senior, and Student categories.

We ask parents to continue to closely monitor their children. Engage them in conversations about risky behaviors for themselves and at school and the potential consequences that arise. We want to help support families with their efforts in keeping our children safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How can our readers contact you?<\/strong><br>A: They can email me at kelly.barrera@stjohns.k12.fl.us or call me at (904) 547-7510.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Is it too early to register children for the next school year?A: Not at all \u2014 especially this year, as our budget is very tight.
