One of THE BEST parts about Layer is the amazing community that we have! Thank you to all of our students and families for making Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week so special! We are truly grateful to have your support!

We look forward to finishing the last two weeks of school strong! Our students have grown tremendously and we are proud of their hard work!

As always, please let us know if you have questions, feedback, or celebrations for our team!

Happy Mother's Day to all of our Layer Mamas! We hope you enjoy the weekend!

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.

5th Grade Car Parade- May 27

It’s almost time for our 5th Grade Clap-Out & Car Parade! Read below for directions & reminders!
  • Car Parade- Wednesday, May 27th at 9:00am
  • The Car Parade will line up in front of the school as we do with car line, beginning at the stop sign LEAVING the car line. Our deputy will lead the line of parent cars around the bus loop then back through the parking lot. We will go twice around!
  • Car Parade "staging" can begin at 8:45am. Please form a single line in the right lane so that visitors can still get through.
  • We will begin our Car Parade directly after the 5th Grade Clap-Out (where Layer students line the bus ramp and clap as the 5th graders walk past). Parents are allowed to watch the Clap-Out but please stay on the sidewalk by the handicap spots!
  • Feel free to decorate your car or make signs! There are only a few times when you are encouraged to embarrass your child at school..... this is one of them!
  • 5th grade students will be sitting under the awning of the bus ramp. That means the passenger side of your car will be seen by our 5th graders but the entire bus ramp will be filled on both sides with all other Layer students!
  • Please drive SAFELY & leave distance between your car and the one in front of you! All students will be outside to watch the 5th grade Clap Out & Car Parade. Make sure you remain alert while driving!
  • If you are planning on having your younger Layer children ride in the car with you, please check them out at the front desk through our regular check-out procedures before 8:50am. Make sure you bring your ID!

Please be sure your doctor's & excuse notes are in within two weeks of the absence so they can be entered properly!

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!
