Day 8: Meet Chase! Today we rang our Good News Bell for him as he enlisted in the U.S. Army. In 2027, he will begin his service as an Air Defense Artillery recruit! Congratulations, Chase, on finding your path after Lake Minneola High School! 🔔 #OneHawk
Day 7: Meet our incredible Media Specialist, Ms. Strickland! She is a vital asset to our school, constantly finding ways to improve how we operate. Most recently, she developed and executed a plan to issue Chromebooks to students before the school year even started. Thanks to her hard work, 60% of our Hawks had their devices early, and 100% of our school was fully connected by the 3rd day! She is absolutely amazing! 🦅 #OneHawk

Dear Hawk Families,
We are so excited for the start of the new school year and cannot wait to see everyone on Monday, August 10th!
Below is crucial information regarding arrival times, campus safety traffic patterns, and student schedules to ensure a smooth first week.
⏰ Key Times for Monday, August 10th
Gates Open: 6:50 AM
School Begins Promptly: 7:20 AM
🚗 Traffic Reminder: Please exercise extreme care and patience during drop-off and pick-up. Travel times are always a bit slower during the first week of school, but traffic flow will improve rapidly as everyone gets used to the routine!
🚨 Campus Traffic & Safety Changes
Please take note of two important updates to our morning routines:
New Morning Drop-Off Pattern: Last year, we have updated our car rider drop-off line to expedite student offloading. Please follow all posted traffic cones and directions from campus personnel to keep the line moving safely and efficiently.
Front Office Parking / Fire Lane: The driveway directly in front of the main entrance is now designated as an official Fire Lane. Parking in the front driveway is strictly prohibited. When visiting the front office, please park in a designated parking stall.
📱 Student Schedules
Our guidance counselors are actively processing schedule correction requests.
Action Item: Before heading to campus on Monday morning, please have your student check their portal and take a screenshot of their schedule on their phone so they know exactly where to report.
We look forward to a fantastic school year! Have a great rest of your week, and remember: We are ONE Hawk!
