Florida Standards Assessments
Below you will find tentative testing dates for the grade levels and their respective assessments.  Please be aware that these dates are provided within testing “windows”, and they can change based on various factors.  State and district changes, unforeseen technology issues, and internal scheduling at Lutz Prep all can play a factor in altering testing dates and times.  While we make every attempt to communicate with families, teachers, and our students in order to be best prepared, we appreciate your flexibility and patience during this time. In addition, please note that during testing windows, we will be a ‘closed campus’ and no volunteering is available.

Please click the button below to visit the Academics\Assessment tab of our website for the testing dates.
 
**Reminder: These dates are tentative and CAN CHANGE at any time**

21st Century Skills and Leader in Me Program

21st Century Skills and Leader in Me Program
Focus for April:

  • 21st Century: 
    • Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy
  • Leader in Me:
    • Habit #6:  Synergize
      I value other people's strengths and learn from them.  I get along well with others, even people who are different than me.  I work well in groups.  I seek out other people's ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could alone.  I look for Third Alternatives.
