Principal's Message

As we start the 2025-2026 school year, we are pleased to share that Layer is an "A" school! Our students work incredibly hard to achieve each day and their needs are met through our various learning structures! Our teachers and staff have been intentional with the planning so that we differentiate instruction, develop collaborative opportunities, and create positive classroom environments! We are grateful for everyone's support within our community!

Please know Skyward is updating and schedules can be viewed on Friday, August 1. However, your teacher assignments will not be official at Layer until Wednesday, August 6.

If you need support with registering or withdrawing your child for next school year, please call our office or email us at Layer_Registration@scps.k12.fl.us.

As always, please let us know if you have questions, feedback, or celebrations! The "Adventure Awaits...LEARNing is a Journey at Layer!"

PRIDE Expectations with PBIS!

Layer is proud to be a PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Support) School! We expect all students to follow our PRIDE expectations so we can keep our school a happy and safe place for all students.

We appreciate family support as we link all behavior choices to our expectations across our campus with our continued Lucky Bucks and our consistent Behavior Alert system. Layer follows a Heirachy of Consequences in every classroom which can be viewed HERE.

HERE is the Seminole County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct. These are the expectations that all students follow to keep our school happy and safe.

HERE is the Seminole County Public Schools Dress Code. We ask that all students have appropriate clothing and safe shoes to play outside in each day. No flip-flops please!
