Free Online Math Help with live educational math experts will be available every Tuesday and Thursday after school beginning Tuesday, September 3rd from 5 to 7pm. If interested, please check out the flyer below!

Please put your child's name on all personal items such as water bottles, lunchboxes, hats, jackets, etc.

Reminder: All sweatshirts and jackets must be plain with no words or designs on them. Thanks for your help and understanding!

Please try to remember we do not allow early sign outs for students between 1:30 and 2:10 unless in the case of an emergency. We understand emergencies do come up, however, it is very difficult for our office staff and classroom teachers to prepare students for dismissal when we are finishing up our school day and preparing for whole school dismissal. Thanks for understanding!

It is extremely important that EVERY parent is signed up for a FOCUS account and all children/students in the family are linked in the account. Along with report cards and other important academic information, the FOCUS account will house emergency forms that must be completed for every student. You will need a PIN number to set up the account and to add and link all siblings. This PIN number can be given to you by calling the school at 239-283-3043. Please access the following information sheets and videos to help you register for this account, and call the school if you are having difficulty.

Remember: Even if you have a FOCUS account set up for your child, you will need to go into the account to fill out important health and emergency forms for the new school year. The district will no longer be sending home paper copies of report cards, so having a FOCUS account is vital to receiving academic information. Please let us know how we can help!

Please register for the Where's the Bus App if you have a bus assigned to your student. You will be able to see when your student boards, track the ride to and from school, and see when your student leaves the bus. The district would like to have all families of bus riders registered in the App, so please see below for instructions as to how to register. Thank you!

Parents are welcome to eat lunch with students in the courtyard. Simply come to school at your child lunch time, sign in the office, and wait for your child outside. It is helpful if you plan your lunch in advance, so the teacher can remind your child to find you outside, however, last minute lunches work too! Reminder: Only your child can eat lunch with you, and siblings from other grade levels are not allowed to join you for one lunchtime. Thanks for understanding!

Florida State Statute 1012.42 recognizes that teachers at times must be assigned duties in a class outside the field in which the teacher is certified. The following teachers at Trafalgar Elementary are certified, but may be assigned one or more classes outside their areas of certification and are required to take appropriate steps to comply with the statutory regulation. The following teachers are engaged in training to add English for Speakers of Other Languages to their certificate.

Thank you,
