Administration News

Parents and Students, we cannot AND WILL NOT be interrupting academic classes for telephone messages from home. Only clearly stated emergencies will be considered by the Assistant Principal. Reminders of after school appointments or transportation are not considered emergencies, as they should be discussed prior to the school day. This includes but is not limited to delivering lunches, money, homework, flowers, balloons, or gifts, will not be delivered or held for students. Your cooperation is needed and appreciated. Also, this is a reminder to all students not leave your book bags or valuables unattended while on campus. We strongly encourage our students not to bring expensive jewelry, large amounts of cash, digital cameras, I-Pods and valuable cell phone devices to school. Also, if you are using a locker, make sure it is locked and secured before you walk away from it. We have had some items that were misplaced and/or possibly stolen and we want to make sure everyone takes the necessary action to prevent this from happening.

Class Size Reduction law - http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/classsize/

Florida’s implementation of the state’s class size amendment remains an important topic for parents and communities throughout the state.  The Florida Legislature passed a proposed amendment to Florida’s existing class size regulations allowing for flexibility in the implementation of class size at the local level.  Whether or not the state is to adopt this proposed language must now be decided by Florida’s voters in the upcoming fall elections. 

As the state agency responsible for monitoring the implementation of class size in Florida, the Department of Education is committed to assisting every Floridian understand the history of class size and its impact in our state.  For this reason, the Department has created a Class Size Resource web page which can be found at http://www.fldoe.org/ClassSize
