Approximately 70 students currently receive after school academic assistance at no charge by enrolling in the TEAM UP Program.  The program, which meets from 4:20 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays provides homework assistance, reinforcement activities for the FCAT and silent reading toward reaching the 25 book reading goal.

Students receive extra assistance in preparation for the FCAT by accessing the FL Department of Education's free online program called FCAT Explorer. By logging in to www.fcatexplorer.com while at school or at home, students can practice the reading and mathematics skills needed to improve their FCAT scores.

• Twin Lakes students should log in to FCAT Explorer by entering their last name+first initial (no spaces).
• FCAT Explorer passwords are composed of the number 16+the first four letters of the student's last name+his/her 2-digit birthdate.
• An example of a password for a Twin Lakes student named John Smith with a birthday of January 1, 1992 would be:
