Catch the Wave with Ms. Todd!

We love our Layer Community! THANK YOU to our amazing teachers, staff, students, families, volunteers, and community partners!

This coming week, we are excited to celebrate education during American Education Week. We invite all our families to celebrate education & all its parts..... educators, students, parents & community! Make sure to read below to see what is happening each day!

Quarter 2 Progress Reports posted on Friday and are available in Skyward for you to view. We appreciate your continued support and your willingness to help Layer students achieve!

We will be out of school the week of Thanksgiving and the school will not be open for that week. Enjoy the time relaxing and spending time with loved ones. We will be eager to welcome our learners back on November 30!

As always, please let us know if you have questions or needs!

Catch the Wave and Ride to Success at Layer!

Important Layer Info:

5th Grade Egg Drop Supplies

We are seeking donations of "stuff" for our 5th graders to use to create a perfect vessel to bring their egg safely down to earth without breaking!

If you have any of the following items (or things like it), please send it in to school and have your student place it in the box in the front foyer! Thank you for helping! Make sure to watch the Layer Facebook page to see the 5th grade Egg Drop and which eggs survive the drop on November 20th!

Egg Drop Items Needed:
small boxes, cereal boxes, bubble wrap, yarn, foam, packing peanuts, masking tape, feathers, rubber bands, cardboard tubes, straws, plastic bottles or containers, etc.
 

Attendance is important!

Please send in your excuse notes for absences or tardies to LRES_attendance@myscps.us or log into your Family Skyward account. Please be sure your doctor's & excuse notes are in within two weeks of the absence so they can be entered properly! Excuse notes need to explain the family emergency or if your child is sick to be excused. After 10 written/emailed parent notes, doctor notes are required.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

We want to ask for your assistance since we want to keep our campus safe for all students during arrival and dismissal. Please check out the reminders below:
  • Thank you for making sure your child arrives between 8:05a.m.-8:35a.m. each morning! Tardy slips will be given at 8:35a.m. If your child is tardy, you must walk them to the front office to check them in.
  • Teachers open their classroom doors at 8:30a.m. and students transition from their holding areas. Students need the time to settle in their classroom as they start the day!
  • Please do not drop off your child before 8:05a.m. since there is NO supervision until then. We need all students to remain in their cars until the 8:05a.m. bell rings. If your child is a walker, please help their timing so they do not arrive to campus before 8:05a.m.
  • In the morning parents are encouraged to utilize our carline so that we can get students in safely. If you plan to walk your child to the front entrance, please only park in the main parking lot and cross on the cross walk. No families should be parking on the side grass area, the handicapped spots without a decal, or the bus loop.
  • The “Reserved Parking” spots to the left of the handicap spaces are for ESE students that may need support transitioning in and out of school each day.
  • As we are building routines, we ask that you check your student out by 2:30p.m. if you need to get them early. It is also helpful for the teacher to know your timeline so they can support your students and have their needed items ready to go. We want everyone to be safe and accounted for during our busy school-wide dismissal!
  • ALL people who are coming to check out their child must have an ID present for us to verify. We will scan your photo ID for safety purpose in the Raptor system. In addition, it is helpful if the teacher knows in advance that they will be leaving so the student can have their backpack with them if they are not in the classroom.
  • If you have any changes with dismissal, please call the front office before 2:30p.m. or notify the teacher in writing in the student planner. Emails/phone calls directly to the teacher might not be received before dismissal!
  • If your child is a car rider, please pull all the way forward so we can fit as many cars as possible on the line in the morning and the afternoon. No adult should get out of their car and students should be exiting/entering on the right side of the car.
  • We appreciate your patience in car line. Please DO NOT weave around other cars or staff members supporting the cross walk during arrival and during dismissal.
  • Our car line will be moving quicker each afternoon after the first week! Please be sure to be at Layer by 3:15p.m. for pick-up. It is helpful if you please leave your car sign visible until your child gets in the car. If a student has not been picked up by 3:20p.m. they will be brought inside and they need to be signed out in the office.
  • Any inclement weather announcements will be made through Parent Square.

Prestige
 

Layer PRIDE and 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!
