New Procedure to Report Student Absence

Due to new health protocols that we have in place for the 20-21 school year we have created a new method for notifying the office if your student will be absent (full or partial day). 
  1. Please click HERE and complete the online form to report your child's absence.  This link is also located on our school website; it is the button on the lower left corner.
  2. Please send any doctor's notes or other attendance correspondence/supporting documentation to ATTENDANCE@LutzPrep.org.

Please review the academic calendar on our school website and  make every effort to schedule appointments and vacations outside of these dates.  Good attendance leads to academic success!

Middle School Leadership House Ceremony & Penny Wars
On Wednesday, our middle school held their annual Leadership House Sorting Ceremony for all new students in 6th-8th,  The houses are part of the middle school Leader in Me program to promote leadership and collaboration with our older students.  The Leadership Houses are comprised of students from each grade level and three to four teachers to serve as advisors. Each Leadership House is represented by a different animal with characteristics that a leader would typically demonstrate. Students will remain in their Leadership Houses throughout their middle school career at Lutz Prep, and welcome new members each year. We are excited to see how the Leadership House Program will help shape our future leaders through various activities, events, and teamwork, while simultaneously building school camaraderie. Every Friday students are able to show house pride by wearing bandanas or appropriate accessories in their house colors.  The Houses also host Penny Wars as just one of the friendly competitive activities throughout the year.  

Our ceremony looked a bit different than it has in past years and included both our on campus and eLearning student in a live Zoom meeting where the random sorting of our new students were announced to their Leadership Houses. 

The Leadership House friendly competition has officially begun with the start of the Penny Wars, don't forget to bring in your pennies to add to your House!

When Will Proofs of Fall Picture Day be Available?
In about three weeks, once Gigante Productions processes all student photographs a new link will be sent out to families where a proof of the image can be viewed using your student ID as the online code.  At that time, any additional or new orders can be placed.
