JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The school of the day is Don Brewer Elementary School in Duval County.
The 2015-2016 school year marks Don Brewer Elementary's 13th year of serving the children of the Arlington area.
Don Brewer Elementary only has third, fourth and fifth grade students, which makes it unique because it is only one of two intermediate schools in Duval County, according to the school's website. Don Brewer Elementary's sister school is Merrill Road Elementary.
Students who attend Don Brewer Elementary are afforded a standards-based education, in which teachers provide scaffolded instruction to help students develop into independent learners. The school has a full time art, music and PE teachers. It also has a part time media specialist who works to support students in media and technology. Don Brewer Elementary is a gifted site for the Arlington area.
The school's vision is "to be a collaborative learning community dedicated to engaging and empowering students to become responsible and productive lifelong learners." The faculty and staff work to fulfill the district's mission "to provide educational excellence in every school, in every classroom, for every student, every day."
A big congratulations to Don Brewer Elementary for being the school of the day! Go Bobcats!
