The Fifth-Grade team would like to invite you to our Rising 5th Grade night on May 28th from 6:00-7:00 in the Blue House Common Area. 5th Grade teachers will be discussing 5th Grade expectations. We will also be showing the curriculum we use, reviewing our behavior expectations, answering questions they might have in order to best prepare their student for the next school year. We will also be passing out 5th grade supply lists and explaining state testing requirements for the next school year. This will be taking the place of 5th Grade curriculum night in September 2025. We will be hosting a quarterly curriculum night next year, but May 28th will be more of an informational hour for parents and their students before heading out for summer break this year.

DISMISSAL CHANGES are accepted until 2:00 p.m. (M, T, TH, F) and 1:00 p.m. (W)
EARLY CHECK-OUTS (for any reason) must be completed by 2:10 p.m. (M,T, TH, F) and 1:10 p.m. (W).
Your respect for our dismissal policy helps maintain safety and security as we complete attendance/dismissal change/check-out reports accurately before students prepare for and move to their dismissal stations. It is often very difficult to locate students or get them ready to leave early during the last minutes prior to dismissal bell. Teachers and students are completing lessons, packing up, or on the move to dismissal stations.
Thank you for your understanding and compliance as we work together for all students’ scholastic success!

Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) conducts a survey designed to provide FDOE and the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, with information on how well Florida's schools are partnering with parents and promoting parent involvement in their child's education. The survey is open to all parents of children with an individual educational plan (IEP) receiving ESE services from preschool age through grade 12.
The 2024-2025 ESE Parent Survey is open beginning February 2025 and will close on June 30, 2025.
Your responses will help guide efforts to improve services and results for children and families. All information provided will remain confidential. You may submit one online survey for each child receiving services.
