Jacksonville Country Day School

President's Message

Greetings JCDS parents!

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I know we can all agree that we had a strange and unpredictable ending to the spring semester! Together, we all adapted to our new normal: our faculty and administration worked tirelessly to transition us to remote learning, our children met the challenge of adjusting to new routines, and we parents added “teacher” to our new responsibilities at home. I’m sure I am speaking for most of you when I express my renewed appreciation for our wonderful teachers and gratitude for all that JCDS provides for our children on a daily basis! Everything from Art, Music, Spanish, STEM, PE, Library, Dance, Band, Chorus, various enrichment activities, and school-wide family events all contribute to the JCDS experience we all value.

As we start the 60th Anniversary year of JCDS, your Parents’ Association is planning (with some modifications) the upcoming year’s calendar of events. Of course, the health and safety of our students and families will always be our top priority, so we’ve created a flexible schedule that can easily adapt to any new developments and recommendations set forth by state and local authorities. Although things may look a bit different at the start of the school year, the most important things will remain the same: our commitment to providing the best education for our children in a safe, nurturing environment, while creating a strong community in our school for the families that belong to it.

We would love to have you involved in any way, big or small. All help is appreciated! Additionally, I hope you will plan to attend our PA meetings during the school year. We meet once a month, beginning in August, to discuss planned events and hear updates from faculty and administration on a range of topics. Please watch the PA News for updated information.

Best Regards and Go Sharks!

Holly Kobrin
PA President 2020-2021
