Challenge Day 2012-2013
Our second annual Challenge Day will be held on October 29th, 30th, and 31st. This program was
extremely successful last year in showing students, staff, and volunteer community members
how important it is to show who we are as individuals on the inside. It taught participants
how to break down the barriers we put up and to stop judging others based only on what we
see, but rather on who we are. We are still seeking financial
support as this is a huge expense, but one that is very worth

The Patriot Freshmen Connection
link crew
Residency Guidelines
A warm welcome to the Class
of 2016! Your attendance and
participation at the 2012 Link Crew Orientation on
August 3rd was phenomenal! A BIG thanks to our Link
Leaders who went “all out” to show you a great time
and help you get acclimated to campus life. Those
who were not able to attend either the Orientation or
Pre-School Processing should stop by the Principal’s
office and get a complimentary t-shirt and planner.
Freshmen, if you haven’t heard from your Link Leader
yet; they are looking for you! Please stop by the
Principal’s office and Mrs. Comerer will have you fill
out an information sheet to assist your Link Leader.
We want all our 9th graders to feel comfortable going
to your Link Leader with your very important questions;
they are your essential “link” to what being a Patriot is
all about.
Our Link Leaders are forming a committee to plan various
social activities in the coming months for our freshmen.
Please check the Lake Brantley website for upcoming
events and information at www.lakebrantley.com.
We hope all of our freshmen have an outstanding first
year in high school!
Within 30 days of moving, the FTE office will need
the following information:
•
If you rent/lease, we will need the complete lease,
current electric bill and a copy of the parent/guardian
driver’s license with the new address.
•
If you have purchased the residence, we will need the warranty
deed (you receive this in your papers at closing) or declaration
of homestead exemption along with a current electric bill and
a copy of the parent/guardian driver’s license with the new
address.
•
If you are a family living with another family, you need to fill out
and submit a special form at Lake Brantley High School along
with necessary documents.
•
If your lease has expired, we will need the renewed lease along
with a copy of a current electric bill.
All seniors are still required to reside in our district and under
no circumstances can you be a resident of another county and
go to or graduate from Lake Brantley High School. Also, if you
change phone number(s), please notify us of the correct phone
number(s). Failure to provide required residency verification and/
or falsification of residency information could result in a student
being withdrawn from Lake Brantley. Any questions regarding
residency, to report a student not living in our district, or to report

Annual College Fair
The only College Fair for Seminole County will be held Wednesday, October 10
from 7-9 PM, at Seminole State College. There will be over one hundred college
representatives in attendance. Dr. Ann McGee, president of SSC, is opening the SSC
campus that night to accommodate Seminole County students. Students from all
grades are invited to attend!
PSAT
The PSAT will be given at Lake Brantley Wednesday, October 17. Current 10th graders
will be given the opportunity to take the PSAT for free. LBHS guidance recommends
all juniors sign-up, and pay $15 to take the test. For juniors, the PSAT is the only
avenue to be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Qualifier (NMSQ), which could
mean thousands in college scholarships.
Scholarship Room Open for Seniors!
The Scholarship Room is a service offered to seniors every Wednesday from 10:30
AM-12 PM. We encourage seniors to bring in their lunch while they investigate different
scholarships available to 2013 graduates. There is a broad range of scholarships for
the students to review; furthermore, scholarships will be posted on the LBHS website.
We receive new information each week, so the students should visit often to keep
up-to-date on scholarship offerings. Available scholarships can range from nationally
recognized scholarships (Best Buy and Coco-Cola) to state-related business
sponsorships (Florida Association of Secondary Schools and Florida Engineering
Society) to scholarships offered by generous individuals (Brett Lane Scholarship of
the Promising Patriot Scholarship). Students should make the effort to join us on
Wednesdays – it could help make a difference in many ways.

Discipline Policies for Common Infractions
Student Attendance Policy
• A student under the
age of 16 is required by
state law to attend school. Additionally, a student
may have his/her driver’s license revoked due to
excessive absences. All doctor notes and/or other
official documentation must be turned in within 5
days of the absence. PARENT NOTES DO NOT
EXCUSE ABSENCES.
• A student with more than 9 unexcused absences in a
one-half (1/2) credit class will receive a grade of F for
the term regardless of the calculated grade. Make-up
time is available but must be completed before the
end of the semester or the student will lose credit for
the course.
• A student will be considered absent from class if the
student arrives late or leaves class for greater than or
equal to 5 minutes.
• A student participating in school activities or
attending to school business during the school day
is considered in attendance. The activity is usually
considered a field trip.
• Out of school suspensions are considered unexcused
absences.
• All attendance information is available on Skyward
Family Access and is updated daily. Please login to
Skyward on a regular basis to track your student’s
attendance.
• Changes to sign-out procedures: There will be
no sign-outs after 2pm on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays. There will be no sign-outs
during Pep Rallies, during testing, and after 1pm
on Wednesdays.
BYOD: Bring Your Own Device ***NEW***
Lake Brantley High School is committed to developing a 21st century
learning environment that encourages technology use among students
and staff members for educational purposes on our campus. We are
piloting a new policy which will aid in this process. Students and staff
will now be able to access our wireless network with their personal
devices (laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, etc) during the
school day. With classroom teacher approval, students may use
their own devices to access the internet and collaborate with other
students. Without teacher approval, the previously established
electronic device and cell phone policy is still in effect. Many schools
across the nation are implementing Bring Your Own Device policies
for their students and staff. By allowing students to use their own
technology on campus, we are hoping to increase the access all
students have to the technology they need to succeed. Additionally,
the school bears no responsibility for devices that ar lost or stolen, so
be sure to keep your device secure at all times.

1st offense = Warning
2nd offense = Teacher detention
3rd offense = Saturday School

3rd offense = In-School Suspension
4th offense = Out-of-School Suspension

What is PBS?
•
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) gives people a different way to think
about behavior. PBS is based on understanding why problem behaviors
occur - the behavior’s function, uses evidence-based strategies and
systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase
safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.
•
PBS provides a positive and effective alternative to the traditional methods
of discipline. PBS methods are research-based and proven to significantly
reduce the occurrence of problem behaviors in the school, resulting in a
more positive school climate and increased academic performance.
•
LBHS is dedicated to the success of its students. We want to use positive
reinforcement to create a school climate that fosters growth and learning.
Our mission and vision are driven by our school-wide expectations:
SCPS Honor Code
In conjunction with the Ready to Learn and
Responsible schoolwide expectations, all
students are required to uphold the principle
of academic honesty in all classes. The
SCPS Honor Code is in effect at all times.
A student who violates the Honor Code will
receive a grade of zero on the assignment/
test and a disciplinary consequence. For
all Honor Code violations, parents will be
contacted by both the classroom teacher
and an administrator. Honor Code violations
jeopardize participation in extracurricular/
athletic activities and membership in
honorary societies. At Lake Brantley, the
display or use of an electronic device during
an assessment is an automatic Honor Code
violation regardless of the student’s intent.
Electronic devices should be switched off
and put away during all assessments.
Respect
Responsibility
Ready to Learn
Because we have many students to reward and limited
funds for this program, we are seeking support from
the community. We would be grateful for donations of money, merchandise, or
services at your business for use as student and staff incentives and supplies.
Game tickets, gift cards, and other donations are appreciated!
More information on discipline procedures
and infractions is available in the SCPS
Student Code of Conduct.
For information or to make a donation, please contact: Trish Elkharchafi: 407746-3660, [email protected]. Monetary donations can be
made payable to LBHS, with a note indicating PBS.

Letter from the PTSA President
As you read this issue of Patriot Parade, do you realize that this is a project of our
LBHS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)? If not, let me take this opportunity
to share with you the programs of our PTSA. Along with the Patriot Parade, PTSA
sponsors a Financial Aid Workshop, parent education sessions, a scholarship
resource room, and Teacher/ Staff Appreciation events. But the biggest project of
PTSA is student scholarships and student financial assistance. Each year, PTSA presents Proud Patriot Scholarships to deserving seniors. This past
year, through the generosity of the many supporters of PTSA, we were able to present
six $500 awards to seniors who were nominated by faculty, staff and students.
Throughout the school year, as funds are available, PTSA also provides financial
assistance for students who are unable to afford items required for class, such as
workbooks, dance shoes, or even graduation fees. We are also sponsoring “Challenge
Day” this year. PTSA provides a means by which our school is transformed into a
community. As a community, we can accomplish great things because we have the
input and support of a diverse group of people working together towards a common
goal: the education and character development of our teens. I hope you will find
something that inspires you to become involved at Lake Brantley. Your support and membership in PTSA is needed and appreciated. In addition,
parents can become involved with the Lake Brantley Booster Club, Band, Chorus,
Dance, and Drama Boosters, and the School Advisory Council (SAC). Please take a
moment and register to be a school Dividend. It’s easy to sign up via the Seminole
County Public School system website: www.scps.k12.fl.us. Parent and community
involvement keeps Lake Brantley the highly regarded school that it is. The PTSA Board meetings are open to all interested parents and students. Our meetings
are on the third Tuesday of every month at 6 PM. If you haven’t had a chance to
become a PTSA member, please fill out the membership form and mail it to our school.
We are looking forward to a fabulous year with so many wonderful programs to offer
you and your family. We hope you can come to our meetings. For more information,
please email me at [email protected] or call 407-497-0226. Thank you! Abby Sanchez, Lake Brantley PTSA President

The Leadership class is well underway
with their many projects of the year.
Their anti-bullying campaign, TBK (To
Be Kind), was recently highlighted
at a back-to-school bash at Amway
Arena which brought great exposure
to the program. They were even able
to present the program to Governor
Rick Scott who made an appearance
at the event.
The planning of this year’s Homecoming
Week(October 8-12) is well underway
and headed in the direction to be the
best one Lake Brantley has seen yet.
With the 40th Anniversary of the school
this year, Leadership is redefining
Homecoming. Some of the wonderful
additions to this year’s festivities is a
potential food truck bazaar the day
of the game, the Homecoming dance
to be held in the beautiful courtyard,
fireworks, and much more! This is one
event no one will want to miss. But
we can use your help. We are seeking
chaperones for the dance on Saturday
night, convertibles and drivers for the
Homecoming Court during the parade,
and we are looking for white Christmas
lights that you might be willing to lend
for use at the dance. If you can help in
any of these areas, please contact the
Leadership advisor, Adam_Sherman@
scps.k12.fl.us.
In addition to Homecoming, there
are many other great events and
opportunities. Leadership is selling
40th Anniversary calendars for
$10. They feature images from the
very first Yearbook of Lake Brantley
with images of the current campus.
On September 21st, the LB vs.
Lyman football game was a RedOut, supporting the American Heart
Association. On October 5th, the
LB vs. Seminole football game will
be the annual Pink-Out for breast
cancer awareness, so get that pink
gear ready! Again, please contact
Mr. Sherman with any questions or
for more information.

GAPP 2012
We left Orlando June 3rd and arrived in Germany on June
4th, to begin a tour of Frankfurt, where we overnighted. We
spent a few days in the State of Hesse, seeing cities like
Limburg, Braunfels, Weilburg, Runkel, Wetzlar, and Diez. We
saw some great historical sites, including some great castles,
and attended a huge state festival called “Hessentag” in the
city of Wetzlar. Our last two nights were spent in an old castle
that had been converted into a youth hostel--a really cool
experience for everyone.
We then moved on to the State of Thuringia to our partner
school in the city of Rudolstadt, where we were met by
our host families. LB students did presentations in many
of the classrooms, sharing information about Florida, such
as history, economy, and attractions. Our hosts took us on
field trips to various local cities like Weimar and Eisenach,
and hikes through the beautiful Thuringian Forest. After two
weeks, it was time to say goodbye to our German partners,
who threw us an awesome grill party, with the amazing
Thüringer Bratwurst and other treats.
We then moved on to Bavaria, where we toured through
some of the most scenic areas of the Alps, including several
famous palaces and castles, picturesque mountain villages,
and a breathtaking cable car ride to the top of one of the
area’s tallest mountains, the Karwendel, where the students
got to enjoy the amazing view, play in snow, and eat a nice
lunch. Lastly, we drove on to Munich, where we ate a big,
traditional German dinner, a fitting end to a great trip! This
year’s chaperones were Mr. Brad Willis and Ms. Giselle Levy,
who accompanied 12 LBHS students.
This was an awesome experience for our students. There is
nothing like being in the country of the language you are learning
to make all those hours of grammar, vocabulary, and cultural
studies to come to life, becoming relevant and more meaningful.
We are proud of our LBHS German students and their willingness
to expand their horizons, face the unknown, and, in return, receive
a truly positive, enriching, and life-changing experience!
