📣 Important Information About Upcoming Fine Reminders
As we prepare to send out fine reminders, some families may receive an email notification indicating that a new item has been added to the system. Please note: This message does NOT necessarily mean your student owes a fine. The email simply lets you know that an item has been activated in our system and is available to review. We strongly encourage seniors to stop by the Bulldog Student Union to check on any outstanding fines. Taking care of these items as soon as possible will help ensure they are cleared to participate in graduation ceremonies.
If you have questions, feel free to contact Mr. Stokes, StokesR@lake.k12.fl.us with questions.
