This is it - the last newsletter of the school year!!

Last Friday, our 8th graders went back to the 2000s for the 8th grade dance. Thank you to all of the PTSA & 8th grade Committee Members for a wonderful event.

Congratulations to Luke Seagraves and William Wang. Both received an award for their Reflections competition entry at the State level! They will be celebrated at the Florida PTA Reflections Award Ceremony in July.

Oviedo Mayor, Megan Sladek, visited and spoke to some of our Civics classes today about ways they can make a difference and have a voice in government. This offered them the opportunity to do just that and hopefully helped them understand that they can continue to be active in sharing their ideas if they see changes that they feel need to happen.

8th graders dissected frogs in Science classes this week. Some enjoyed it more than others!

This week was 8th grade spirit week. Their favorite spirit day was Anything but a Backpack Day where they got to showcase their creativity.

Pictures of all of these events can be found HERE.

Have a great summer - we cannot wait to see our Panthers back in August.

Eighth graders: Best of luck in high school!

Dr. Laudani

The program follows a simple, effective process to ensure your child gets the help they need:

On-Ramp is an ideal tool for independent learning because it is accessible from anywhere. It uses interactive tools to build a strong foundation, ensuring your child is ready for the upcoming school year.

To support your child's math journey over the break, please refer to the attached Teacher Flyer, Parent Flyer, and Parent User Guide. These resources will help you navigate the platform and encourage your child to stay on track for math success.
