Dear Seahawk Students and
Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to South Lakes High
School and the 2017-2018 school year! We are preparing to open school on
August 28, 2017 with over 2,470 students in grades 9-12. Our
school hours will remain at 8:10 a.m. – 2:55 p.m. We are looking
forward to working with you toward a productive and successful school
year. Please review the important information listed below:
Class Schedule: Starting August 22nd all students will have access to their schedule in
Student Vue. Student Vue will allow students to access their attendance,
class performance, demographic data and course materials. Student Vue can
be accessed at: https://sisstudent.fcps.edu/SVUE/Login_Student_PXP_OVR.aspx.
Students can log in using their FCPS user name and password. If you are
new to FCPS, you will receive information about logging in to Student Vue at
Orientation on the 24th.
If you have any problems logging in
to Student Vue, or if parents need to activate Parent Vue, there are two opportunities for hands-on assistance:
Back to School Bash, Saturday, Aug. 12th from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in the Career Center
South Lakes Block Party, Friday, Sept. 1st, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Career Center.
If you need to discuss any errors
in your schedule, please contact your counselor on or after Monday, August 14th.
Staffing decisions for this year were based on student selections made last
spring. Students had the ability to make changes throughout the spring
and should not expect to make changes at this point. Counselors will not
make teacher changes. Students are reminded that they may not
drop an Honors or IB course until after the first quarter.
An Event for New Seahawks: 9th grade
and New Student Orientation, Thursday, August 24th from 9:00 a.m. to
12:30 p.m.
Students will receive information about life as a Seahawk
and will be able to walk their schedule and meet their teachers. Please

Locker Assignments:
Ninth and tenth grade students will receive their locker assignments in their
first period class on Monday, August 28th.
Eleventh and twelfth graders will be eligible to receive lockers, on a space
available basis, on September 1st following the return of all the
required paperwork from the “Back to School Packet” distributed on the
first day of school and have paid any outstanding fines.
Lunch: Students are
assigned to lunch periods according to their 5th and 6th
period classes. Lunch can be purchased for $3.25. Students who want
to put money on their breakfast or lunch accounts may bring a check to the
Cafeteria before school or during lunch or by creating an account at www.MySchoolBucks.com. Students
who receiving free or reduced lunch must apply each year. Last year’s
accounts will be active for only the first two weeks of school. Please
save the confirmation letter you receive from Food Services.
Parking and Student Drop Off:
Students who live along FCPS transportation routes are strongly encouraged to
ride the buses. Parents who must drive their students to school should
use the STADIUM side drop off area: dropping students off in the staff
parking lot is not permitted. Arriving by 7:50 a.m. will help
avoid traffic back-ups. For the safety of students and staff, please
follow the designated stadium/kiss and ride parent’s traffic pattern.
Student parking will be located on the stadium side of the school. The
building will be open to students at 7:30 a.m. Please do not drop off
students prior to that time.
Required Forms: A
packet containing essential information and an Emergency Care Card will
be distributed during 1st period on Monday, August 28th.
Required signature forms should be returned to your student’s 1st
period teacher no later than Wednesday, August 30th.
Subschools: South
Lakes is organized around subschools designated by grade level. There is
an assistant principal assigned to supervise and support each grade
level. In addition, we have an assistant principal who oversees special
education.

Summer Assignments: Every
student has a summer assignment for their English class. Some students
will have additional summer assignments depending on their class
schedule. Details can be found at: http://live-fcps-southlakes-hs.pantheonsite.io/academics/2017-summer-assignments
PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 8/9:
The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered to tenth and eleventh grade students,
and the PSAT 8/9 will be administered to ninth grade students on Wednesday,
October 11th. FCPS will cover the cost of the PSAT 8/9
to ninth graders and the PSAT/NMSQT to tenth graders. The cost of the
test for eleventh grade students will be $20.00. Additional information
for registering eleventh grade students will be forthcoming. Eleventh
graders who receive free or reduced price meals are eligible for fee waivers.
Tenth and eleventh grade students
with disabilities who have been identified for testing accommodations in a 504
Plan or an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) may request accommodations for
the PSAT/NMSQT. Accommodations must be approved by the
College Board and documentation must meet the criteria outlined on their
website. Not all students with disabilities require accommodations and
some accommodations received by students in school are not deemed necessary by
the College Board for the purposes of participating in the PSAT. Requests
for accommodations should be directed to Ms. Mary Strait at MCStrait@fcps.edu by August 20, 2017.
For ninth grade students taking the PSAT 8/9, accommodations are handled at the
school for students with disabilities who have been identified for testing
accommodations in a 504 Plan or an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Additional information will be provided in the upcoming weeks. More
information is available about the PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 8/9 by visiting www.collegeboard.com.
We would like to make the
transition into the new school year as smooth as possible for both parents and
students. If there is any way we can assist you, please contact the
Counseling or Administrative staff.
Sincerely,
South Lakes High School
Administrative Team
