Reminder: Weather Information During Dismissal/Pick-up:
Staff members WILL remain outside during rain to continue normal dismissal procedures and escort students to cars.
In the event there is thunder/lightning*, all staff and students will immediately return INSIDE of the building for safety.
If staff/students return to the building at any point during dismissal, parents/designated persons will remain in car loop.
As you pull up to the building (or if able to reroute your vehicle), YOU are able to park and walk in to the building with your official car tag to pick-up your student(s) of you deem it is safe to do so.**
*During inclement weather, it is especially important that families follow all the traffic safety rules; it will take a little longer, but it will ensure the safety of everyone. At times it may be necessary to halt dismissal during inclement weather for everyone’s safety.
**For K-8 students with Pre-Prep siblings, those students will be moved inside the main building as pick-up will NOT be available at outside gate in between buildings. Parents who typically pick up at gate are also able to come to main building with their car tag IF they choose.

PTA Updates All Pro Dad Meeting
Hey Dads and Kids... Only a little more than two months remaining until summer. Take this opportunity to join us for April's Lutz Prep/Lutz Pre-Prep All Pro Dad - Dad’s and Kid’s Breakfast (second to last one this year). This month's topic is "Excellence". Big Idea: The definition of excellence is “the quality of being outstanding or extremely good.” But how do we get there? What about the practice and preparation it takes to become excellent? This month we’ll dive into what it means to stand out from the crowd and go above and beyond so you can produce excellent results.
Team up with other Lutz Prep Dads and kids for a quick before-school breakfast on Wednesday, April 11th, 2018. Doors open at 7:00 AM. The program starts at 7:15 and ends at 7:45. It’s fun and it’s free. You and your kids will be glad you came! Great way to start the morning. Contact Ryan Martin with any questions.
