LP Graduating Class of 2019 What High School Will Our 8th Grade Graduates Attend for 9th Grade?
Dear Lutz Preparatory 8th Grade Parents,
Based on the variety of options for high schools in our area (public, magnet, IB, charter, and private schools), we know that many of our graduating 8th graders will not be attending their traditional zoned school based on your residential address. To assist our registrar in transferring your student's records to the correct high school over the summer please complete this quick online form.
If you are still undecided at this time, please mark that option accordingly so we may follow up with you over the summer.
Please complete by Thursday, May 16, 2019 at midnight.

All Pro Dads Breakfast
Hey Dads and Kids...summer break is sneaking up. Last breakfast of the school year. Don't miss this month's opportunity. Join us for May's Lutz Prep/Lutz Pre-Prep All Pro Dad - Dad’s and Kid’s Breakfast.
This month's topic is "Honesty". Big Idea: Honesty is a core value that we should teach our children. This quality will breed trustworthiness that will lead to later success as they grow. If your children wants to be hired by future employers or build healthy relationships, they have to be trustworthy.
Team up with other Lutz Prep Dads and Kids for a quick before-school breakfast on Wednesday, May 15th, 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.
