Planning for the Soarin' Eagle Jog-a-thon in February 2025 has begun to take place and we are looking for a 6th grader to help us with the logo for the event. Any 6th graders interested in submitting a logo for the 2025 Jog-a-thon please submit the drawings by Monday, December 2nd.
One entry per student. Images should be in color. The image will be voted on anonymously so please do not put your name in or below the sketch design (put information on the back). The theme this year for the Jog-a-thon is Ninja Warrior. The winning logo will be featured on Jog-a-thon handouts, banners and advertisements. The winning artist will win a gift card to Long Doggers as well.

Student attendance and timely arrival at school during testing is important for student success since we begin testing in the morning. Make sure your student gets a good night of sleep and eats breakfast on testing days. Please do not schedule appointments on testing days.
Your student’s results from PM2 are for informational purposes only, and you will be provided with information about how to access the results after testing is completed.
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 ELA Reading and Mathematics sample items at home, sample test materials are available at https://flfast.org/families.html .

Be prepared to eat lunch at the outside picnic tables. Students will only be available for lunch during their regularly scheduled 30-minute lunch time. Students need to report back to the cafeteria before the end of their lunch period. You must always supervise your child during your time. Sign out in the front office.
