Fort Caroline Elementary-FCE

Over the last three days, the Fort Caroline Elementary administrative team has been engaged in leadership training and professional learning as we prepare for an amazing 2026–2027 school year!

As Duval County Public Schools ❤️💙💛💚continues on its journey to becoming a world-class school district, we are committed to ensuring exceptional learning experiences for our students, outstanding support for our teachers, and top-tier customer service for our families and community.

Professional growth never stops, and we're excited to bring back new ideas, strategies, and inspiration to help our students and staff thrive.

MTSS Summer Learning 📚🏗️💚💛

Over the last two days, the Fort Caroline Elementary MTSS Team participated in intensive professional learning focused on strengthening the implementation and monitoring of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) process to ensure success for all students.

We are especially proud that Dr. Faith Roberts-Graham, Principal, and Ms. Holly Parnaby, School Counselor, served as panelists, sharing how the MTSS process is implemented at The Fort to support academic, behavioral, and social-emotional growth for every student. Their insights highlighted the collaborative efforts that help our students thrive.

Our team is excited to bring back new strategies, resources, and learning that will continue to strengthen our support systems and student outcomes for the 2026-2027 school year.

🌎✈️ Multicultural Fair Recap! ✈️🌎

Today was an incredible day at our Multicultural Fair as students traveled around the world right here at school! 🌍📚✨

Students explored different countries and cultures while carrying their passports, stopping at each destination to learn something new and collect stamps along the way! 🛂⭐

From discovering traditions and landmarks to learning about customs from around the world, our students had the opportunity to celebrate the beauty and diversity of different cultures. One of the highlights of the day was getting to enjoy taste tests of foods from different countries and experiencing flavors from around the world! 🍽️🌮🍙🥟

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a special learning experience for our students. Today was a wonderful reminder that learning about other cultures helps us grow, connect, and appreciate the world around us. 💙💛

🌍 Many cultures. One school. Endless learning.

🌎✨

The competition was fierce, the laughs were nonstop, and the school spirit was unmatched! Students gave it their all, but in the end… the STAFF took the victory! 🏆😎

Thank you to everyone who came out and made today such a fun event. We’re already excited for next year! 👀🙌
