VISITORS: All campus visitors will need to show their ID at the door and also to receive a visitor pass.  Based on the School District of Lee County safety procedures, we are ONLY allowed to accept physical forms of ID when you show up on campus.  Unfortunately, we are unable to accept picture IDs on a cell phone or from the Florida Real ID website.  Thank you for your understanding and for helping to keep our campus safe.

Electronics/Telecommunications Devices (ETD) – Display or use of a personal electronic or telecommunication device during school hours. Students may possess cell phones and other personal electronic devices (including, but not limited to, cell phones and/or auxiliary/ancillary devices such as watches and earbuds) while on school grounds during regular school hours. However, they must be turned off at all times, unless utilized for an approved activity. Possession of all personal electronic devices, including cell phones, is at the student’s own risk, and the school assumes no responsibility, legal or otherwise, with regard to these items. As of 7/1/23, the following meet the criteria for prohibited applications as established in Section 112.22(1)(f)*, F.S.: QQ, TikTok, WeChat, VKontakte, Kaspersky.

Liveschools House System
Which house is your student in?

The goal of positive behavior support is to create an environment that enhances the growth of ALL of our students. As a school, we are always looking for new and engaging ways to help teach kindness, positivity, and teamwork. The PBIS “House” system will foster a deeper opportunity for our students to develop and exhibit each of these character traits. Our new House system will go live on the first day of the 2023-2024 school year! Each student (and staff member) will be randomly assigned to a LiveSchool “house”. Our houses will be led by teachers and staff members throughout our school campus. Each time students earn individual points, it will add to their collective house point total. Each month, we will get to celebrate the house that has earned the most points (for showing positive behaviors and exhibiting their PAWS expectations, of course!) Each “house” will have a designated color and character word. We can’t wait to unveil these to our families at Open House. These color houses will bring about camaraderie, competition, and SO MUCH FUN for every student and staff member in our school! Below you can see the shields for each of our 8 houses. Your child will find out what house they belong to at Meet Your Teacher Open House (Aug.8th).  Each month, there will be designated “color house days” in which students will wear their color house shirts. We can’t wait to see the fun, healthy completion, and positive behaviors shining.
