Good morning. I would like to share the letter that I forwarded to the Saint Johns school district…read moreso maybe one day things can change: "Good morning, we live in Ponte Vedra Beach exactly 2 miles from Ocean Palms Elementary School but to not lose my job (no after care) we were obligated to move her to Flagler Charter School and now I'm driving around 30 minutes to my daughter to go to school with after care available. We've tried all the private schools around our home without spots. Nicole was adapting well and loving the school and the After care and school administrators didn't bother even to answer Yes or No after 6 months trying waitlist and several phone calls and e-mails. The last time Ms Kim LaMondie answered "At this time we are on a waitlist. We will be sure to put Nicole on the list. I will reach out to you as soon as we open our waitlist." was on Jan/23/2023 and since then we didn't have any responses after several times trying contact. So, to not lose my job I was obligated to change my daughter to somewhere with after care. Now we drive very far every day for school. I don't think this is fair to us and our daughter always cries missing her neighborhood friends and the school - It looks like we are out of the social neighborhood now even though we live right there. We hope this situation can change because we are very unhappy to not be able to study around our home and to be excluded from the social around there for this reason. We hope Nicole can study again on Ocean Palms too."

I went to PVPV, when it was just PVPV. The Rawlings 'wing' didn't exist. Ocean Palms didn't exist…read more Heck, Landrum didn't come into play until I was in 5th grade. That's right, PVPV used to be K-6 all in one building. Very hard to believe. The students graduating this year (2014) have never known NE St. Johns County to not have more than one elementary school. If i was planning to raise little rugrats of my own, I would definitely find a way to live in this part of the county as I would want them to attend this school. I'm sure all the teachers I had have long since retired, but this school still has - and will probably keep - a great reputation. As someone that lives in the neighborhood, the only thing I could complain about would be the traffic in the mornings. But it's really not THAT bad and they've got it down to a science.

My children have attended PVPV/Rawlings since 2008. This is the best elementary school in the…read morehighly-praised Saint Johns County School District. The teachers are excellent, the parents are highly involved, and the principal is very skilled at managing the school. She is also accommodating and open to making time to speak to parents. The very active PTO does so much each year to support the efforts of teachers and staff, and to raise additional support for the school.

We have lived in multiple cities, and our kids have gone to public schools, private schools, parochial schools, and now we homeschool our oldest 4. We're incredibly particular about who teaches our children, and Goddard continues to exceed our expectations. The teachers truly form loving relationships with the kids, and the children are taught kindness and basic routines from the beginning. The turnover is low, and it is obvious that this school does a great job of treating their staff with respect and love - which translates to the kids. They feel like an extension of family. Highly recommend!!!
