A Message from the Principal
The month of May kicks off with Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Words cannot express the amount of admiration, respect, and gratitude that I have for the OUTSTANDING teachers and staff at Imagine-Chancellor. They have all put their hearts and souls into this school year to make it as "normal" as possible for our students. I am forever grateful for their commitment to our school community.
Throughout the month of May our students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA). I am confident our students are ready and will "Crush the FSA"! They have worked hard all year in preparation and will approach each assessment with determination and grit as they "Rock the FSA". Students in grades K-2 will be taking end of year assessments to track their progress throughout the year as well. I am so proud of all our students for demonstrating love of learning and curiosity throughout the school year as they accomplish all of their goals.
As I have said all year, we are One School. One Vision. One Family and Imagine-Chancellor STRONG. I am so PROUD to be the Principal of this school supported by outstanding students, staff, and parents. Thank you for your continued support!
With great appreciation,
Ms. Standley

Face Masks will be Mandatory the Rest of the School Year
On May 3, Governor Ron DeSantis signed an Executive Order invalidating local COVID-19 emergency orders.
Below is the guidance we have received from the Florida Department of Education:
Guidance on State of Florida’s Executive Orders 21-101 and 21-102:
Questions have arisen over the impacts of the Executive Orders EO-21-101, which is not effective until July 1, 2021, and EO-21-102, which is effective immediately.
To clarify, EO-21-102 only impacts city and county governments, and does NOT impact school districts and individual schools.
Moreover, EO-21-101 and EO-21-102 only impacts restrictive COVID-19 orders/ordinances that are adopted through emergency enactment.
Neither EO-21-101 nor EO-21-102 impact any school district’s policies for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year.
