This is Mr. Phillips, principal of Lutz K-8 School.
We hope this email finds our families well and we were excited to welcome our leopards back to campus today.
We continue our annual school wide principal fundraiser. We will be accepting donations to help purchase educational materials, student incentive supplies, and school enhancement initiatives. We always appreciate school support. Students who donate $10 or more to the school will participate in a popsicle party. Students and families who donate $50 or more will have the opportunity to silly string the school administrators. Our top 5 students will have the opportunity to go to lunch off campus with the administrative team. Celebrations for this fundraiser will occur in November. Thank you again to families for supporting our entire Lutz K-8 school community. Please feel free to call the front office with questions.
Our middle school boys’ and girls’ basketball teams compete tonight against Turner Bartels K-8 School at Turner Bartels K-8 School at 5:30 P.M. Come on out and support our Lutz Leopards.
Tomorrow night PTSA will have a bowling tournament at Main event at the outlet mall. The festivities take place from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Come on out for a fun event with our PTSA tomorrow evening.
This Friday is our September den reveal celebration. Students are invited to wear their den shirt to school on Friday.
Every Friday is college day. Students and staff are invited to wear college gear to school!
We want to remind parents that drop off begins at 7:10 A.M. As you drop off students in the morning, please be sure to pull all the way up to help expedite our traffic process. Drop-off in the morning takes place at elementary pick-up point for all students. Once our buses have cleared, we open the front drop-off area for vehicles. Vehicles entering the school from the southbound left turn lane should refrain from blocking northbound traffic on U.S. 41. If you are walking your child up to the front of the school in the morning, please be sure to park at the Old Lutz Schoolhouse as the front parking lot is reserved for teachers. Students should not walk from the parking lot without an adult as this is a safety issue. Thank you for your support with arrival and dismissal.
Please be reminded dismissal is at 2:10 P.M. and 1:10 P.M. on Mondays. It would be best for middle school parents to arrive after 2:15 P.M. as this would help to expedite our dismissal. If you are a middle school parent who arrives prior to 2:15 P.M., please follow the elementary pick-up point line and pull into the grass and staff will inform you when it is time to move to the middle school pick-up point location. Please refrain from parking in the front staff parking lot as this slows down the traffic flow during dismissal and helps to ensure safety for all stakeholders and ensures the car line continues to move smoothly. We are asking all parents to adhere to right turns only when exiting onto U.S. Highway 41. This will help to assist with traffic back-up into the school and will help to ensure a quicker dismissal process.
Lutz K-8 school will remain a closed campus to ensure the safety and security of staff and students. We do have staff members present at drop-off locations to assist with ensuring your students arrive in their classrooms safely. If you are walking students up to the front of the school, please drop them off near the gates to keep our campus secure. We appreciate your attention and understanding to this matter.
We want to remind all parents that our cell phone and uniform policy for students has been updated this school year. Students should be following our uniform policy on campus and the use of cell phones is prohibited at all times unless students utilize a device with a teacher for learning purposes.
Don’t forget to join our PTSA for the 2024-2025 school year. Parents can go to www.lutzk8pta.com to sign-up. On the website you can access information on ordering spirit gear for this school year.
Once again this is Mr. Phillips, the principal at Lutz K-8 school and each day is a new day of learning for leopards!
