Duval County Public Schools Provides Winter Packets for Continued Learning over the Holiday Break

Jacksonville, FL - Duval County Public Schools is providing winter packets to students and parents to continue enriching the academic success of all students during the winter holiday. Research suggests that students who continue to work while on school breaks and vacations maintain their academic progress made during the school year.

All K-8 students, parents and community members are encouraged to log ontowww.duvalschools.org and print out grade appropriate materials for students during the winter break. Math, reading and science worksheets are available.

To access the winter packets, visit www.duvalschools.org and click on the winter packets section in the banner on the homepage.

In addition to the winter packets, the Jacksonville Public Library is providing information on winter break resources. Click here to view information on upcoming events and programs.
