Principal's Message

What another awesome week! Can you believe we have completed 4 weeks of school already?

Our students have been working hard and we have been collecting data to determine what they need through classroom differentiation. We believe in small group instruction at Layer, and collaboration with peers is incredibly helpful as we practice at task-aligned stations. Thank you for being invested in your child's learning and for your support at Curriculum Night. We look forward to conferences being scheduled in the upcoming weeks so we can continue to work together for your child's individual achievement. Here are the presentations that were shared with families:
As always, please let us know if you have questions, feedback, or suggestions!

Food Safety Reminders

We are excited to welcome families to have lunch with their children starting Tuesday! Please remember the following:
  • You need your ID to check into the office through Raptor. We then will get your child from the cafeteria to eat with their parent/guardian outside.
  • Adults may only eat with their child (no additional friends) and the adult must be listed in Skyward or on their security card.
  • NO OUTSIDE FOOD can be dropped off or ordered for students to pick up (Uber Eats, GrubHub, etc,) due to safety! This includes parents dropping off fast food for breakfast or lunch.
  • If a parent is eating with their child during lunch, you may eat that outside with your student.

Pride Expectations

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!
