ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — St. Lucie Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jon R. Prince announced Thursday that the first day of school for students at Tradition Lakes K-8 will move one week, from August 10 to August 17. The superintendent said the additional week gives teachers and staff time to complete final classroom preparations at the district's newest school. WPTV'S BACK TO SCHOOL COVERAGE“After inspecting the school, I didn’t feel staff had enough time to adequately prepare it for our parents and children. "Our families have waited a long time for this school, and Tradition Lakes students deserve the very best we can give them," Prince said. The district said updates will be posted on the Tradition Lakes K-8 website and on school and district's social media channels.
