Message from the Principal Dear Eagle Families, I hope you had a wonderful spring break and you are prepared for the testing season that is quickly approaching. Sophomores have already completed FCAT Writes, and our freshmen and sophomores are ready for FCAT Reading 2.0 followed by the end of course exams in a number of subjects. Please check our website and the PTSA eBlast for all testing updates. As always, we ask students to arrive on time and be prepared for testing by getting plenty of rest and eating a balanced breakfast. This year OCPS is offering an “AP Boot Camp” on individual school campuses to help students prepare for the rigorous AP tests in a variety subjects. The AP Boot Camp schedule will be listed on our web site, and teachers may be contacted directly should students have any questions. “Fire and Ice” is this year’s prom theme which will be held April 20 at the Sheraton in Lake Buena Vista. Students
must have at least a 2.0 GPA and parent permission to attend this event. Need a dress? Please visit our E Boutique for the latest styles and the best prices available (free!). Students are reminded that this is an OCPS school sponsored event, and the Code of Conduct is enforced. We encourage students to make good choices! The May calendar is filled with senior activities, so please check our website for events and information. Students are invited to visit the College and Career Center for scholarship and testing information. This is a very busy time of year, and we don’t want any student to miss deadlines or opportunities. Please note that graduation for the Class of 2013 is May 29 at 4:00 at the Amway Center. Where has the year gone? Michele Erickson, Principal
