Dear Lutz Prep Parents/Guardians, 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. *Note: eLearning Families will receive further communications on their testing plan. **TENTATIVE** Testing Plan **Reminder: These timelines are tentative and CAN CHANGE at any time** *Specific dates and additional updated information will be provided as we get closer to testing windows* Please visit the Florida Department of Education's Florida Statewide Assessments PortalThe portal provides access to general information about the Florida Statewide Assessment Program and links to other Florida resources to include practice tests, frequently asked questions, testing resources, etc. PTA Corner Teacher Appreciation Week Click HERE for Favorite Things Listing 2020-21 Yearbook Middle School Strike Zone Please check out our students as they received their award and reward for 2nd quarter.
