Hurricane Michael Information
The Hillsborough County School District Security and Emergency Management Department are monitoring the track of Hurricane Michael very closely.  At this time no shelters are being opened in Hillsborough County and the school district is not anticipating closures at this time.  As Floridians, we know that weather can be unpredictable so please continue to monitor local news media. 

Information from Lutz Preparatory Administration will come via Parent Link emails, automated calls, and texts.  In addition you may also monitor the pop up box on our website, www.lutzprep.org, for up to date information on closures related specifically to Lutz Preparatory K-8 and Lutz Pre-Prep.

The Hillsborough County School District will also be keeping all families up to date on district wide information.  Important:  If you receive news either directly from the school district or from the local news media that Hillsborough County Schools will close this closure would also include Lutz Preparatory School K-8 and Lutz Pre-Prep.  

PTA Updates
Grandparent Breakfast
Important Reminder:  Due to increase school safety procedures and the large number of attendees at our wonderful grandparents breakfast the event and the attendees will be restricted to the gymnasium.  Entry and exit to the breakfast will be entering the gate on the south side of main building and proceeding to the back gym door entrance only.  Attendees will not be able to access the main lobby, hallways, student classrooms, or any other area of the school.  Grandparents will bid farewell to their grandchildren in the gymnasium at the end of the event so the student may proceed to class by 8:00 AM for morning announcements and the start of the normal school day.

Unless you have notified us via your RSVP that your guest needs additional assistance or a handicap parking space reserved for them, all breakfast attendees must park in the FIELD ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE MAIN BUILDING and follow the sidewalks to the gate located on the south side of the main building (near the south car loop crosswalk) and proceed to the BACK ENTRANCE of the gymnasium.  There will be staff outside guiding our guests to the correct gym entrance.  Guests attending the event WILL NOT be using the front lobby entrance or exit, as it will be used solely for students entering our campus for the school day.

Students attending the event must also enter through this gate (please make all attempts to hand off students to their grandparents prior to entering the gate).  If a meet up has not occurred prior to this time then the small field inside the gate will be a meeting area for students and grandparents so that there is not a backlog near the gymnasium doors.
