Intramural CoEd Flag Football (1st-5th Grade)
In keeping with our focus on offering more after-school athletic choices for our younger athletes we have decided to offer Coed Flag Football to all of our 1st-5th grade Bolts.  This will be a new and exciting venture for us and I am very excited to get it under way.  

Coach Bobby Fox will be coaching this inaugural season in hopes of teaching your athletes the basic skills, rules, and hopefully spark a love for the game all in a safe and fun environment.  There is an $80 enrollment fee that will cover all eight, one hour sessions as well as each athlete's own dri-fit shirt.  

Please note that this sport will only be offered to the first 25 students that sign up so please register as soon as you can.  If you have any questions or concerns please email me at chad.mollick@lutzprep.org.   Thanks and GO BOLTS!

Thank you PTA!  
We wish to send a “shout out” and huge thank you to our Lutz Prep PTA for our new bottle filling station in the main building!  These stations are available for any student, staff, or visitor near or passing by to fill up their water bottle/container with cooled and filtered water.  Check out our 1st graders, Payton S. and Kristina S. enjoying a quick water break.

As always, our school performs copper and lead sampling on a regular basis per licensing requirements. We’re looking forward to another great school year fully hydrated!
We also want to thank PTA for always treating our faculty and staff like royalty.  We truly appreciate the healthy snack station treats during the busy first few weeks of school.  

From the Clinic
Back to school tips to follow in order to help keep Lutz Prep Students Healthy

We are asking you for your continued cooperation in assisting us to control the spread of illness and communicable diseases.

Per section 1500.1 of the student/Parent handbook policy, if your student has been sent home within the past 24 hours or is showing any signs/symptoms listed below, WE ASK YOU NOT TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL until they have been fever and/or symptom free for 24 hours without medication (ie: Tylenol/Advil).

At any time, the school nurse and/or administration may ask for a written statement from a licensed physician stating that it is safe for the student to return.

  • Elevated temperature >100.0 F
  • Vomiting or diarrhea within past 24 hours
  • Excessive mucus from nose or eyes, particularly greenish-yellow mucus
  • Rash
  • Persistent Coughing or Sneezing
  • Lice

    Lice facts:
    By taking some precautions, you may be able to prevent your child from getting or spreading lice.
  • Check your child’s head every night.
  • Students should avoid sharing items that touch the head like combs, head bands, headphones, and hats.
  • Long hair should be kept up while in school.
  • Lutz Prep follows a no nit policy. If your student is found to have live lice or nits(eggs) they will need to be excluded from school until treated.
  • All students must be cleared by the school nurse before returning.
