Dear LCMS Panther Families,
Your LCMS PTSA has started their “No Fuss Fundraiser”. They decided that instead of selling cookies, candles or other “stuff” through companies that keep a percentage of the money, they are simply asking for donations of which 100% will go to making improvements on campus, including additional security cameras and the window vinyls pictured above for the Growl Grill windows on the bus loop. Donate today following the directions provided on the flyer below.

Our theme for this year is “All In”. Our faculty and staff had a professional development during preplan focused on building relationships and reaching ALL of our students so that ALL students feel welcome at school. Please view this video from Paws52 that introduced the concept of All In to our students this past week:
Here at LCMS, we are All In for our kids, committed to giving our best for our students each and every day.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is a progress monitoring tool that will be administered three times
per year to track your student’s progress in learning the Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards
throughout this school year. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your student will participate in the first
administration (PM1) of the Grade 6-8 Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) Reading and
Mathematics assessment[s] on Aug 31/Sept 1 and Sept 7 & 8. Your student’s results from PM1 are for informational
purposes only, and your student’s school will provide you with information about how to access the results after testing is
completed.
FAST assessments are computer-adaptive tests taken on a computer or tablet. The questions get easier or more difficult
depending on how the student responds, and each student will see different questions from a common item bank. Each test
attempt (PM1, PM2, and PM3) will present 35–40 items that will cover the entire test “blueprint,” meaning students will
encounter items representative of the standards within the subject or grade level. Students may bring a book to read if they
complete the assessment prior to the end of the session. For more information on the test design, please visit
https://www.fldoe.org/accountability/assessments/k-12-student-assessment/best/. If you or your student would like to
interact with the online testing platform or review FAST Reading [and Mathematics] sample items at home, sample test
materials are available at https://flfast.org/families.html.
If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact Dr. Pagnotti at 407-871-7013.
For more information about the FAST program, please visit the portal at FLFAST.org.
Thank you for supporting your student and encouraging him or her to do his or her best during this test administration.
Sincerely,
Dr. Melissa Laudani
All students will have their picture taken on August 26 through their Social Studies classes. Preorder @ https://www.leonards.com/ or send in the photo form below. Forms will be sent home during Social Studies classes or can be picked up in the Front Office.

We have noticed some issues in the car line, particularly in the afternoon. Please be sure to follow these procedures. Please see the diagram below for important information regarding the car line.
1 – Car Line starts here. Please pull all the way up before stopping to drop off or pick up your student.
2 – Do not park here and have your student walk to your car. This is a safety hazard, and they will not be allowed to enter the parking lot.
3 – There are no left turns into or out of the school. In the morning, if you live in the Sanctuary neighborhood, go out the other entrance and enter the neighborhood by Addition Financial so that you can make a right turn into the school.
4 – Do not park along the side of the road in the roundabout or on the streets in the Sanctuary subdivision.
Our school behavior expectations this year have been updated to PAWS:
Panthers Always:
Practice Safety
Accept Responsibility
Work Hard
Show Respect
Please view this video from our PBIS Coach, Mrs. Higley, with more information. #PawsUp
To maintain a secure campus, we ask that all visitors enter campus through the entrance in the Sanctuary Subdivision. Our bus loop is for Buses only and not open to the public. Please refrain from walking, running, or walking your dog anywhere inside the perimeter of our campus, including the bus loop.
