** Update to last weeks message shown below

RETURNING STUDENT VERIFICATION IS STILL IN PROGRESS

Returning Student Verification emails are still being sent out. Emails are sent on a staggered schedule based on grade level. If you have not received your students yet, please be patient. They will continue to go out according to the staggered grade level schedule.

RETURNING STUDENT VERIFICATION GOES OUT THIS WEEK! (April 17-21)

This week you will receive an email from the St. Johns County School District with your student’s Returning Student Verification (RSV). YOU WILL NOT GET ALL OF YOUR STUDENTS RSV LINKS AND SNAPCODES ON THE SAME DAY. They are staggered by grade level. You should have one for each of your students by end of day on the Friday, April 21^st. If you have not received one for each of your students by Monday the 25th, please call us.

CURRENT 5^th and 8^th GRADE FAMILIES: It is important that you click on the link contained in the email, update your information, and submit the residency documents that are required. If it is not complete by the time Middle School and High School back-to-school activities begin this summer, your student could be prevented from getting their schedule, locker, etc. The sooner you complete your students RSV, the better!!!

ALL OTHER GRADE LEVELS MUST COMPLETE THE RSV ONLINE FORM AS WELL. Only 5^th and 8^th are required by the District to provide residency, unless you have moved and residency will be required to make those changes to your student’s information.

IF YOU ARE NOT RETURNING (moving out of St. Johns County, going to private school, etc): Please log in using the link and snapcode provided. One of the first few questions asked is if you are returning (no) and where you are going (city, state, school if you know it). Once you have completed the basic information you can submit it. This allows us to withdraw your student at the end of the school year and wait for a request for records from the school they will be attending in the fall. IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE RSV, THE DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO EMAIL YOU ALL SUMMER UNTIL YOU SUBMIT THE FORM.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
