The St. Johns County School District has received a recommendation that it be awarded district accreditation as a quality school system. This recommendation was made by the AdvancED External Review Team at a special School Board meeting held April 10. District accreditation is the highest level of accreditation that a school system can receive from AdvancED, the recognized accrediting agency for K-12 schools internationally. Five years ago, the district received its initial accreditation. Prior to this, all St. Johns County schools were individually accredited.  Here are the results from Durbin Creek’s accreditation survey. Welcome back parents and visitors! A drivers license or State ID is required at all times on school property. You must be a registered volunteer in order to accompany your child for lunch as well as participate in classroom activities and field trips.  Due to district policy exceptions are not permitted.  Thank you for your continued support! School Access Form can be found at http://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/depts/cr/volunteer/  To find out the status of your school access form please notify the Volunteer Coordinator Ashley Schaefer at sissy06@comcast.net  New email address for dismissal changes dcesnotifications@stjohns.k12.fl.us .  The attendance line is (904) 547-3915.
