Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
Our school is continuing to implement the Leader in Me leadership program, it teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
 
Our school will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all full-time staff members, parents/guardians, and students in Grade 4 and up to participate.
 
Parent Participation
If you decide to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey (without sharing your name or other identifying information) that will be available through the web link below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household. The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child's experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth.
 
CLICK HERE to take the survey.
 
Please complete the survey by: Sunday, April 11, 2021

Caps for Kids Day at Lutz Prep and Lutz Pre-Prep

We love our learning community and appreciate the care we show when we support each other.  One of our incredible 7th graders is currently battling leukemia.  She is on the waitlist for Caps for Kids to receive her own autographed cap from the celebrity of her choice.  For more information about that program please see the attachment.

We want to demonstrate our support for her, her family, and other children battling cancer.  We are hosting a Caps for Kids day at Lutz Prep on Thursday, April 29, 2021

We would love to see the whole school community participate for an individual $1.00 donation per student.  You may donate virtually at the website Caps for Kids created (see link below) or you may have your child bring in a donation in an envelope to give to their classroom teacher.  Our goal is to have our on campus and eLearning students all contribute to display our love and kindness to this wonderful 7th grader who calls Lutz Prep her home.  Thank you for your support and generosity. 

Date to wear school appropriate cap:  Thursday, April 29th

 Ways to donate:

  1. CLICK HERE for LP virtual collections for Caps for Kids via their website
    OR
  2. Bring money in an envelope to give to your child’s teacher

See read this for full details regarding Caps for Kids.

As we are in the second half of the school year, we want to inform you of some key information regarding upcoming spring assessments. While we are still waiting for additional communication from the state and district to share with families, we wanted to send a quick note to help prepare as best we can.  
 
As we know, we are in a school year like no other. The term “tentative” has never better described the upcoming testing months of April and May. Please be aware that while the state and district provides us with testing “windows” and proposed dates, they can change based on various factors.  State and district modifications, unforeseen technology issues, and internal scheduling at Lutz Prep can all 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, understanding, and patience during this time. In addition, please note that during testing windows attendance and punctuality is important; please limit scheduling appointments and early sign-outs.
