Mission

Loretto Elementary School, as part of the Duval County Public Schools, is committed to providing differentiated, standards-based instruction that will allow all students to achieve their goals and use their knowledge to be successful in a culturally diverse and technologically advanced world.

Vision

At Loretto Elementary, the school, home and community will work together to provide a safe and successful academic environment, which is committed to assisting in development of each student while exploring the social and technological world around them.

As we have entered into the cold and flu season, please be mindful and keep your child home if they are feeling unwell or vomiting. Below are some helpful guidelines that we ask everyone to follow.

Please ensure that you remain in the right lane during drop-off in the morning, leaving the left lane open for vehicles exiting the campus. The left lane is designated for traffic coming from the CSS car line after dropping off students. These vehicles are not attempting to bypass the line; they are simply following the proper route for departure. Thank you for your cooperation!

Please make sure you are using the designated crosswalks. Crosswalks are both a guide for pedestrians and a way to communicate crossings to motorists. Crosswalks are there to keep pedestrians and drivers safe!

Thank you for keeping our students, parents and community members safe!

Duval County Schools will be using PikMyKid again this year as their Dismissal Manager! Please see below for some important information:

-You will recieve 1 car tag at the beginning of the year with your students PikMyKid ID number on it. Don't worry, you can still use last year's tags if you have more than 1 person picking up your student. ((Secret Hack...if you go over the number with an expo marker, permanent marker will come off so you can adjust the sign as needed!))

-PikMyKid and FOCUS work together. Please make sure your FOCUS accounts are updated with the correct information as it changes.

- Parents are unable to select buses and extended day due to registration requirements. Please call the front office for help making those changes for your child.
