SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
Weather Update:
We will be actively monitoring Tropical Storm Eta and provide updates to families. With guidance from SDHC we will make determinations on the status of opening/closing school this coming week. We will keep you all informed of any changes, should any need to be put in place.
Afternoon Dismissal Reminder:
Every car picking up at dismissal must have the official 2020-21 LP dismissal tag to proceed through the line and pick-up students. No pictures on cell phones are permitted at any time.
Those families who do not have the official Car Tag in carline will be asked to park and wait until the end of carline to pick up in the front office. Per policy, there will be NO ENTRY during 2:00-3:30 – or until end of carline.
Inclement Weather Dismissal:
Regular rain does not change our normal dismissal process. If inclement weather impacts our local area please review our updated Severe Weather Policy below and follow instructions from staff in carline. We will also communicate with you via text messages through HCPS Parent Link system with the cell phone number from your student's file.
Severe Weather Policy:
If lightning, weather warnings, or other weather-related elements deemed unsafe for staff and students to follow normal dismissal procedures, LUTZ PREP will halt/stop dismissal and have students and staff remain in the building until it is safe to resume.We ask that parents remain in their cars while dismissal is stopped. The school will send out messages via text system in an effort to keep parents notified of updates as the school receives them.
If your contact information changes at any time, please make sure you update your student's records with our registrar or send an email to admissions@lutzprep.org.
Last Time to Check Out Students Early from the Office:
Reminder the latest time to check out students early from school at the front office is 2:00 PM on regular school days and 11:00 on early release days.
Thank you for partnering with us to help keep safety a top priority!

Families can access the report cards website two ways:
Students can access their own report cards by logging in with their user ID and password: User ID is 7 digit student number (ex 1234567) and password is birthmonthdayyear (ex 01152011 for Jan 15, 2011)
If a student cannot access the report card for a parent/guardian, a PIN can be requested by selecting "Request a PIN" on the report cards website. A PIN can be sent to the email address or mobile phone number of a parent/guardian in the Student Information System (listed on the student’s emergency card).
