This is Mr. Phillips, principal of Lutz K-8 School.
This is a reminder that every Monday is an early release day for students. Students are dismissed at 1:10 P.M.
This week is Celebrate Literacy Week. Please reference the flyer that was sent home with students.
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. There have been students not following dress code expectations so please ensure as we continue the second half of the year that students adhere to district and school uniform expectations to prevent next steps or actions. Please reference information available on our website around uniforms.
The Junior Civitan pet supply drive continues this week but will end this Friday. Students can drop items in the bins in the hallway for den points.
Yearbooks are now priced at $45 dollars and will be on sale through May 1st.

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.
