Congratulations to Julie Whiteley, The Polk County Public Schools School-Related Employee of the Year 2023

Julie Whiteley 

Whiteley is the principal’s secretary at Garner Elementary, and she’s often the first person to arrive at work. She warmly greets students and employees as they come to school and is known for having positive relationships with all staff.

Whiteley takes time to read to students and comforts them when they are sick. She also cheers their academic progress and good behavior. Garner administrators say the school runs more efficiently because of the systems Whiteley has developed. In addition, she volunteers her time with the school’s advisory committee and PTO.

1:1 Devices

Polk County Public Schools has begun an exciting new initiative that will help improve learning for all of our students.
Each PCPS student will be provided with an internet-accessible device through our school district’s One-to-One Digital Learning Initiative.
Younger students in elementary school will be issued iPads, and older students in middle and high school will have laptops.
In the coming weeks, parents will receive more information from their child’s school. Schools will be sending devices home gradually as students learn how to care for them responsibly.
Please visit polkschoolsfl.com/onetoone for a FAQ and additional information.
