ABSOLUTELY NO ORDERS ACCEPTED AFTER AUGUST 21st!

Open House Night

Indialantic families are invited our 2023 Open House on August 22nd (Kindergarten through Second Grade) and August 23rd (Third through Sixth Grade). There are two informational sessions each night. Teachers will review information on the curriculum, class procedures, and how parents can support their child in the specific grade level. Our designated parking is limited, so arrive early in case you need to use

adjacent parking at Hoover Middle School.


Please plan to attend one session with your child's homeroom teacher:


Tuesday, 8/22 for K- 2nd Sessions at 5:00-5:40 or 5:50-6:30


Wednesday, 8/23 for 3rd-6th Sessions at 5:00-5:40 or 5:50-6:30


From your donations, PTO will provide teachers with sandwiches, fruit, drinks and snacks prior to the open house.

Parent Approval for Nick Names

Does your child prefer to go by a nickname other than their legal name (example Tim is used rather than Timothy, the legal name)? In accordance with Florida Statute, Brevard Public Schools has a form that gives permission to the teacher to use the preferred name. Even if your child has a nickname in Focus, this must be verified by a form completed by the parent. Forms will be available at Open House or in the Front Office or download and print here.

School Advisory Council

The School Advisory Council is made up of parents, teachers, staff and community members, and the school principal. The SAC meets once a month on Friday afternoons at 1:45 pm. The first meeting of the school year is August 25th at 1:45. All interested parents are invited to attend.


The purpose of the SAC is to provide guidance for the school for areas of improvement. There is no special training or expertise to be part of the SAC. If you are interested in being a parent representative on SAC, please complete the form at the front office or send an email to lord.colleen@brevardschools.org with School Advisory Council in the subject line. All submissions must be completed by August 28th .

Donations for School Clinic

The school nurse sent a message saying the clinic is in need of clothing donations - especially girls size S shorts/pants, boys and girls shoes - smaller sizes, and med/large socks.

Register to Volunteer

All volunteers must be fingerprinted and cleared through the district office prior to being allowed to volunteer for activities during school hours. Register to volunteer by following the directions on this webpage: https://fl02201431.schoolwires.net/Page/11104.  The fees for registering to volunteer are currently waived.  It  can take several weeks to process your application, so this is the perfect time to register so you can participate in upcoming events this school year.


Once you become a registered volunteer, you will have to pay $8.00 per year to maintain your status. You will get an email from donotreply@raptortech.com 60 days before your volunteer status expires.  Failure to renew your volunteer status will require you to redo the initial volunteer process; which will include the cost of fingerprinting. Please use the full name that is on your Drivers license when renewing your status:  https://www.e-billexpress.com/ebpp/BPSPayment/.

Treasurer's Report

We continue to work on projects to beautify the school and support teachers who ask for help.  If you're a teacher, and you need money for a special project, please fill out a Superfund Request to be considered for financial support from the PTO:
