Hi Caloosa Elementary Families –

It's hard to believe the first few weeks of the school year are already behind us! Watching the hallways fill with energy, curiosity, and bright smiles has been the absolute best start to the school year! Whether your family is returning or joining our school community for the very first time, we are thrilled to have you here with us. September is all about establishing healthy routines, building lasting friendships, and setting a strong foundation for learning. Thank you for your partnership, your enthusiastic support, and for sharing your wonderful children with us every day. Let’s make this September memorable!

What a night! 🎉

A giant thank you to everyone who joined us for Culver’s Spirit Night! Between the butterburgers and the fresh frozen custard, it was a huge success and so much fun!

We are so lucky to have such supportive families in our community. Thank you for coming out and making it such a wonderful evening! 💙

Please remember to log into FOCUS and complete your child’s Clinic Consent Form as soon as possible. In accordance with school policy, our health clinic staff cannot see or treat students without a signed consent form on file. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe and healthy!

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We encourage all families to download FortifyFL, a reporting app that allows you to relay information about suspicious activity quickly and anonymously to law enforcement and school administrators.

In 1986 Congress created AHERA (The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act). This act requires all school districts to put the below information out to parents, students, and possible visitors. All district sites have a current AHERA (The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) Inspection and most have a letter of exemption on file from the architect. Certain asbestos-containing materials or assumed asbestos-containing materials such as: fire doors, roofing materials, or other building materials could still contain ACBM and are monitored for no damage. In the School District of Lee County there is an active management plan for each district site. The report listing the location, quantities, and condition of any or all known materials, is available at the school’s front office for inspection during normal school hours.

Copies of the school’s asbestos file can be supplied to you at a cost.
