Important Transportation Information
Please see the Student\Parent Handbook for full details on arrival and dismissal procedures and policies.

 


 

As a public charter school of choice, Lutz Prep does not offer neighborhood pick-up and drop off by school bus. Parents provide transportation to and from school.

The Administration shall not permit, under any circumstance, Lutz Preparatory Elementary and Middle School students to walk or ride bicycles from home to school and from school to home. The Lutz Prep campus is adjacent to Hwy 41 which is one of the most traveled and hazardous major thoroughfares in the area. There are no designated pedestrian crossing areas near the school’s entrance that are monitored by crossing guards during the school day, nor school zone traffic signals. The school site is situated in a commercial area that experiences high traffic volume, and therefore for reasons of personal safety to students, requires motorized transportation to ensure safe movement of all students to and from school.

 


 

Inclement Weather (excerpt from the Handbook)

*During inclement weather, it is especially important that families follow all the traffic safety
rules and any updated directives issued by the school; it will take a little longer, but it will
ensure the safety of everyone. At times, it may be necessary to pause dismissal during
inclement or severe weather for everyone’s safety. Please remain in vehicles in carline and
dismissal procedures will resume when it is safe to do so. For smooth and safe student drop-off
and pick-up times, we ask you (and your authorized person(s) designated for transportation)
to support and comply with the following dismissal procedures.

 


CARPOOLING WITH LP FAMILIES: LP highly encourages parents to create carpools with other families. To assist with arranging carpools, LP has created an opportunity for families to sign-up to use a carpool database. For more information and/or to register, families can view further details on the school’s website or sign-up using the following link: Carpool Sign-up form.
