Summer Message from Your Principal

If you are considering enrolling your student, we invite you to join our high-performing school within Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district recognized for its commitment to student achievement. Click here to enroll. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Our school day begins at 7:10 a.m. and dismissal is at 2:05 p.m.

One of the major benefits of enrollment in our school is the wide variety of courses we offer – click through our website to explore available courses and programs. Our counselors will be on campus every Wednesday to respond to emails or meet with students in regards to the upcoming year. Starting on June 3, 2026, our school counselors will be available to meet with students regarding schedules, academic planning, or other supports to ensure a successful start to the year. Please follow our Activities account on Instagram @lelyactivities, or check our website for our summer schedule for sports as well as Band and Color Guard. We will be hosting summer testing opportunities on campus; 7/13-7/15 will be Algebra 1 EOC, ELA FAST, and Geometry EOC. Please log on to Focus and register for those opportunities if needed.

For our returning families, thank you for your continued confidence in our school, and we are excited to welcome back students for another successful year. Over the summer, we encourage students to stay engaged by taking advantage of the 2026 Summer CCPS Classics Reading List.

We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.

Have a great summer!

Jennifer Bledsoe
Lely High School Principal
