Principal's Message

Happy National Volunteer Appreciation Week! Layer would not be GREAT without each of our families and our volunteers! We are thankful for the support and dedication to Layer students and staff. I personally want to invite all of our Dividends to be celebrated at our Appreciation Breakfast on April 22 (see information below)!

As we look ahead, we appreciate your help to make sure we finish the year strong! It's important that students come to school on time and that they are prepared to learn. Everyone is ready to show what they know on upcoming testing (which starts next week for primary) and we continue to master standards so that every student is prepared for the next grade level.

As always, please let us know if you have questions, feedback, or celebrations.

The Adventure Awaits at Layer!

Class Placements for Next Year!

Many families have asked about providing input about their child's placement for the 2026-20267 school year. Our leadership team and current teachers help thoughtfully place students, but we value your input as well.

We have created a Google Form for any family to provide us details about how your child learns best. If you would like to give us insight (without using teacher's names), you can your input on the link below by Monday, May 11th.

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!
