FSA Writing Assessment: April 2nd & 3rd
Lynx Lane Orcas will be taking the FSA Writing Assesment on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019 and Wednesday, April 3rd, 2019. We would like to remind you to make sure all Orcas arrive to school on time, get plenty of sleep and eat a well-balanced breakfast.
Attention 8th Grade Orcas: Submit your 2019-20 School Year Course Preference
Take time to carefully select possible courses in the order of your preference. Due to class size restrictions, prerequisites and your academic readiness, you may not be assigned the classes you requested. Sometimes, your last choice is the only option that will work when creating a schedule. Therefore, please complete all of the course categories including the contingency (back-up) course offerings. We will try our best to accommodate your requests. All final placement decisions will be made by the administration and guidance departments after reviewing students' end of year grades and test scores.
If you are not satisfied with your schedule or have different needs, please do not hesitate to email Mr. I until the end of the first two weeks of the new school year. Students should check their high school graduation requirements from the Florida Department of Education's website.
Please feel free to see Mr. I for further questions.
