Summer Information

Summer Student Services Information


General

Lake Nona High School will be open each day Monday through Thursday from 7am-3 pm from June 1st-June 7th. Beginning June 8th-July 28th we will be open from 7am-5pm. Student Services will be closed from July 3-7, 2023 when LNHS will be closed. We will be closed each Friday over the summer from June 9th-July 28th.


Registrations

To ensure students have a schedule on the first day of school, all documentation needs to be in to our registrar by Friday, August 4th, 2023. The link to the enrollment section of the OCPS website is here: https://www.ocps.net/departments/student_enrollment

Community Service

Community Service Hours no longer need pre-approval before beginning hours. Students are welcome to turn in hours to our office whenever they are ready. Forms and suggested service sites are here: https://lakenonahs.ocps.net/student_services/community_service_hours

Counselor Availability

Counselors will have select days over the summer to complete various day to day tasks. We will have open office hours during this time to see all students from 9:00 am-1:00 pm daily.

FLVS Courses

Students will be able to request elective courses on FLVS at any time and counselors will approve the courses periodically. If the course is a full year course it needs to be completed by August 1, 2023, to avoid the course being on the student’s schedule in the fall.
Before requesting core classes, you will need to send an email explaining why you are requesting to take the class online instead of during the school year to Mrs. Rivera ([email protected]) who will forward the request to one of the counselors to review your academic history and decide if to approve or deny.

Please know that course level presentations and course selection is typically done through English classes. We highly recommend that courses with a state assessed end of course exam, such as Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology, and US History, are taken face to face, as opposed to online.

Dual Enrollment

All students interested in taking Dual Enrollment classes in the fall must complete four items:

1. View the LNHS Dual Enrollment Policies and Procedures Presentation and complete the quiz in the Dual Enrollment Canvas course.

2.
Complete the LNHS Dual Enrollment Contract in Canvas

3.
Attend a meeting face to face with a counselor during open office hours over the summer bring them your Student Detail Schedule from Valencia.

4.
Complete the Early Release/Late Arrival Form that you will get from a counselor. This form will be given out after you have met with a counselor to go over your DE and LNHS schedule.
