PreK–2 Lake Lu Families,

Our students had an amazing experience with the Coastal Wilds Zoo program! They enjoyed learning about kangaroos, a millipede, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and a Madagascar tenrec.

Coastal Wilds has been visiting schools all week and is unfortunately low on inventory. Any items your child purchased—other than the photo with an animal—will be shipped to the school. We expect to receive the items and distribute them after Spring Break.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

PreK–2 Lake Lu Families,

This Friday, our primary students will enjoy a FREE in-school Zoo visit with Coastal Wilds! 🐾

In order to attend, each child must have a signed permission slip on file. A second copy is being sent home today. Please sign and return it as soon as possible.

If you would like your child to make an optional purchase during the visit, please send CASH ONLY in a zip lock bag or envelope labeled with:
• Your child’s name
• The item being purchased

We kindly ask that all permission slips be returned by tomorrow so we can properly plan for student attendance.

Good morning Lake Lu families,

We are excited to celebrate the students who met their Winter Reading and Math goals and qualified for the Zoo Field Trip on Monday, December 15th! 🎉🦁

As a reminder, only DCPS Level 2–cleared chaperones are permitted to attend field trips with students. We sincerely thank the Level 2 chaperones who will be attending with us. At this time, no additional chaperones are needed.

Please note that families may not purchase separate Zoo admission and join or follow the group. During an instructional day on an approved field trip, only certified staff and Level 2–cleared volunteers may be in contact with students.

If you are interested in chaperoning future field trips, please visit the Duval County Public Schools website and complete the volunteer (Level 2) clearance process.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in keeping our students safe and successful.

Lake Lu Blue Through & Through,
Mrs. Walsh 💙
