Greetings Imagine Broward Families!
Shine On Students
We want to congratulate Jiya Anand from 8th grade and Ethan Ortega from 5th grade for being selected as our Shine On students for their exemplary community service to their school and community. They have gone above and beyond to help others and be involved in community projects. The City of Coral Springs will be honoring these students in an upcoming drivey by parade Shine On School Recognition ceremony taking place outside of Coral Springs City Hall. Congratulations Jiya and Ethan!

FSA Testing
On February 15, 2021, the Florida Department of Education issued Executive Order No. 2021-EO-01 that modified requirements for the State of Florida Spring Assessment. It is effective immediately and will remain effective through the 2021 summer semester. The order extends the testing windows which will allow for fewer students to be on campus on any particular testing day. The State of Florida does not allow for testing from home or another non-school site. If a student is not physically present by being in school for the exam, the student will be marked absent. Students who are currently learning remotely must come into the school building to take their scheduled test(s). The State of Florida does not provide a parental opt-out mechanism, including writing to your child’s school or to the District. Schools will follow existing COVID-19 related health and safety protocols at all times, including mandatory wearing of face masks, temperature checks, physical distancing, daily cleaning and sanitation of classrooms and throughout the school before and after test administration.
Please note that on FSA testing days there will no or limited Specials classes and ESE services.
Carline Schedule for Testing:
In order to keep with our safety protocols, remote students will be dropped off in the back carline in the mornings for testing. Pick up at the end of testing for online students will be in the front carline. In person students will have normal hours for school.

COVID
Imagine Broward has worked diligently to have procedures and protocols in place to keep staff, students, and families safe. Social distancing, masks, temperature checks, classes in pods, sanitizing stations, etc. are just to name a few. As the end of the school year is nearing and FSA testing is upon us, it is important for parents to stay vigilante and follow our school policies. If your child has any symptoms of illness, keep them at home and have your student continue their learning online. If a student goes to the clinic during the school day, a parent has one hour to pick up their child. If any individual in your household tests positive for Covid, parents are to contact the front office within 24 hours and keep their child at home for the recommended quarantine period and may return if no symptoms develop and with a negative covid test. If you get your child COVID tested and are waiting results, contact the front office and do not send them to school. Please note that no rapid tests will be accepted.
