School-Wide Resources: Click on the underlined links to navigate to other useful websites.
This year we will be taking a new statewide standards assessment. FCAT is no more. This is the official site for the new assessment and it includes a practice portal in which parents and students can become familiar with the test items.
Here parents and students can access news from around the district, read the school board agenda, or check the student code of conduct. |
Our school website provides information about the school's recent events, faculty emails, and useful scholarship and academic links.
