📚✏️ FAST Testing Begins Next Week! ✏️📚

Lake Manatee K-8 students will begin FAST testing next week. We encourage all students to get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day ready to do their best!

We believe in our Otters and know they are ready to show what they have learned. Thank you to our families for supporting your child and helping make testing days successful.

💙 Remember: Do your best, stay positive, and show what you know!

Hello 6th grade Otters!!

We are so excited to announce that we will be establishing our middle school sports with you!

Currently, we are gauging interest in our golf team. There will be room for both boys and girls to participate. If you are interested, please fill out the form by clicking the link below or scanning the QR code.

Please know that this is just to gauge interest. If we have enough students interested, we will reach out to provide information about tryouts.

If golf is not your thing, keep your eyes out for Cross Country and Track tryouts that will be coming up very soon. We are also hoping to get Tennis going in the spring.

As we add grade levels in the next couple of years, we will be able to add other sports as well.

We are looking forward to beginning this adventure with you!
