Parent Resources

Parents and/or teachers or staff are encouragd to discuss concerns regarding classroom materials with their child's teacher and/or their school administrator. If the concern is not resolved, the parent, staff member or an individual who does not have a child who attends a Lake County School, may request a district level review as required by Florida Statute 1006.283 for "Challenged Materials." To request a district level review, please submit the "Challenged Materials" form in its entirety.  The form is available HERE.

Pursuant to State law, the Lake County School Board must provide an evidence-based, medically-accurate comprehensive health education curriculum that includes state-required instruction in the concepts of reproductive health. In Lake County Schools, this required instruction for students occurs in Grade 5, Grades 6, 7, 8 and in high school using the School Board-approved, age-appropriate Reproductive Health Curriculum. Learn more HERE. 

Every year, as students head back to school, we issue reminders to motorists to drive carefully:

• Be alert and watch for children, especially near schools, bus stops school buses and in school parking lots;
• Watch for and obey signals from school crossing guards;
• Only drive or park in authorized areas to drop off or pick up children at school; and
• Stop when approaching a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing and STOP arm extended.

We added a new reminder to the list a couple of years ago. No texting and driving. It's against the law. In fact, the law prohibits drivers from even holding a wireless device while in a designated school crossing, school zone or an active work zone with workers are present. So, if you’re near a school, please put down your phone.

Hands-free use, such as through a Bluetooth device, is still allowed.
