Indialantic families are invited our 2024-2025 Open House on Thursday, August 29th. There are two informational sessions for your scheduling convenience. 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:
Session 1 4:30-5:15
Session 2 5:30-6:15
From your donations, PTO will provide teachers with sandwiches, fruit, drinks and snacks prior to the open house.
The best preparation for the FAST Test is daily instruction and attendance. On testing days, make sure your student gets a good night of sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, starts the day on a positive note, and arrives on time. Kids should not be discouraged when they get an answer wrong. They should just take their time and do their best. If your student does not feel well on the day of testing, it may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please do not schedule appointments on testing days. Students with accommodations may be tested on an alternate date due to scheduling.
