UPDATE: Caterpillars
16 beautiful butterflies were released
this morning at 1030am on the playground.
The students have enjoyed observing the
metamorphosis of the butterfly. The entire
process was just over two weeks.
Update on Caterpillars/Butterflies
Monday morning our butterflies are emerging!
Some are in the state of Imago, but most are
full fledged butterflies! There are still two in
their chrysalis.
Caterpillar/Butterfly Update
The caterpillars (larva stage 2) made their cocoon/chrysalis
(pupa stage 3) over the weekend. Next stage we will be
looking for is the adult (imago stage 4) then into fully fledged
butterflies.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Under Florida Governor and First Lady DeSantis’s leadership, initiatives for enhancing Floridians’
mental health and wellness resulted in a series of education rules related to mental and
emotional health, substance use and abuse, and child trafficking prevention. The Florida
Department of Education has entrusted Florida School Districts to provide age and
grade-level appropriate education on those topics. For additional information,
refer to the State Board of Education Rules listed below.
- RULE NO: RULE TITLE: 6A-1.094121 Mental and Emotional Health Education
- RULE NO: RULE TITLE: 6A-1.094122 Substance Use and Abuse Health Education
- RULE NO: RULE TITLE: 6A-1.094123 Child Trafficking Prevention Education
To meet mandatory state requirements, the Okaloosa County School District is utilizing
Suite 360, a state-approved online curriculum. All elementary and secondary students
will complete a series of age and grade-level appropriate modules designed by experts in
the field of mental health. Parents wishing to preview lesson summaries, vocabulary,
and follow up questions may access The Florida Edition Teacher Companion Guides
for 2020-2021 here.

As always, it is our goal to keep you informed and to provide a safe environment for your child
to learn and grow. By meeting these legislative requirements and our goal of safer,
stronger schools, our sincere hope is to provide your child with additional tools to enhance their
health and safety.
