Keeping Poinciana High Families in the Loop

September 12, 2025

Student Attendance During Modified Testing Schedule

As we move into the second week of our modified testing schedule, we want to remind families that every day still matters.

Even on days when your child is not testing, valuable instruction, review, and learning activities will continue. Teachers are working hard to keep students engaged and prepared for success.

Please continue to ensure your child brings their school laptop and charger each day. These are essential for both testing and daily classwork.

Your child’s presence and preparation make a big difference in their confidence and progress. Thank you for your continued support as we move through this important time!

My School Bucks Information

To help keep students in class and avoid unnecessary office visits, we ask that families use the attached MSB Support Guide when access issues come up. This guide includes easy step-by-step instructions and customer service contact information to help resolve most problems quickly.
In many cases, issues with MSB can be fixed by contacting customer service directly—often within minutes. Since staff cannot always assist over the phone or see what parents are viewing, using the guide and reaching out to MSB support is the fastest and most effective option.
Thank you for your support in keeping our students focused and learning!

Turbulence Control 🚨

Student Services Update

As a reminder, water guns are not allowed on campus or in the school parking lot at any time. Any student found with a water gun on campus or in the parking lot may face serious disciplinary action from the school and law enforcement. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Safety Law and Liability

Due to safety laws and liability, students wanting to leave school before the end of the day must be signed out by an adult on their contact list in Focus, even if the student drives and is 18 years old. Only students legally emancipated from their parents in a court of law can sign themselves out in the state of FL.
Enrolling parent or guardian MUST come in person to submit the Student Information & Emergency Contact Update. You can pick up a form in the Front Office.

Connect with a Counselor 🌻

Students can connect with their school counselor during their lunch period.

Prioritizing Safety for All Students

FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows individuals to submit tips concerning unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent, or criminal activities and threats. That information goes immediately and directly to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
The app was developed by former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.


You can download the app on your mobile device or submit tips on your desktop computer at www.getfortifyfl.com. You can leave contact information but can also report anonymously, if you prefer.
