All Pro Dad's Breakfast
Hey Dads and Kids...Before taking off for Spring Break, join us for on Wednesday, March 11th for Lutz Prep/Lutz Pre-Prep All Pro Dad - Dad’s and Kid’s Breakfast. This month's topic is "Courage". Big Idea: Courage is the ability to face and overcome fears. It is an important attribute of your child’s character. Raising children to be courageous gives them the tools to conquer difficult challenges.
Team up with other Lutz Prep dads and kids for a quick before-school breakfast. On Wednesday, March 11th, doors open at 7:00 AM and t he program starts at 7:15 and ends at 7:45 AM. 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.
Leader in Me: Lightning Leaders and February Habit of the Month Tip of the Week: Sharpen the Saw/Sharpen the Brain: I can keep my brain sharp through various activities and trying new things. Sharpen the Saw: I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body). I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school (brains). I spend time with family and friends (heart). I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul). I balance all four parts of myself.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we have begun the second part of the school year, we want to inform you of some key information regarding the upcoming spring 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 on campus.
Below are some good tips to help your child during testing:
Get a good night’s sleep
Eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school
Arrive to school ON TIME! Tardiness will affect your child’s testing schedule
Avoid scheduling appointments during the school day; limiting tardies and early sign outs
Remember to notify attendance@LutzPrep.org immediately if your child is ill
Reminder: Absolutely NO electronics allowed during testing (cell phones, smart watch/wrist phones, etc.)
Help reinforce academic integrity and that this is a snapshot of your child’s progress
Encourage them to do their best and not stress

Florida Department of Education Florida Standards Assessments Portal
The FSA portal is your source for information about the Florida Standards Assessments.
Florida’s K-12 assessment system measures students’ achievement of Florida’s education standards, which were developed and implemented to ensure that all students graduate from high school ready for success in college, career, and life. Assessment supports instruction and student learning, and test results help Florida’s educational leadership and stakeholders determine whether the goals of the education system are being met.
