Good afternoon Largo High Family. This is assistant principal Jonathan Marina. Welcome to another installment of the weekend update.
The City of Largo would like us to remind scholars that there is only one week left for your family to complete the census. This must be done by Wednesday, September 30th, 2020.

Once again PTSA is offering the National PTA Reflections program to our scholars of all grades. Reflections is an arts recognition program with an emphasis on allowing all kids to participate, not just our kids who are really into the arts. Students can participate in photography, filmmaking, dance, literature, musical composition, and visual arts. Last year we had two young ladies advance to the state competition with one earning an award of merit in that round. Scholars wishing to participate or just learn more can email ptsalargohigh@gmail.com for the guidelines.
This year for our athletic games will no longer be selling paper tickets. You will only be able to buy your tickets online. Tickets will not be sold at the gate, and we are limited to 25% of our normal capacity. As a result, we will be limiting the number of tickets that someone can buy to 2-4 tickets per person. Once you purchase your ticket, you will receive a message with your ticket- hold on to that until the day of the game! Once you get up to the gate, bring the ticket (s) up, validate them in front of the ticket taker, and that will get you into the game. Do not take a screenshot of your ticket. We will not accept screenshots.
We have our home contest this week in with JV football on Wednesday at 6:30 pm and swimming and diving on Thursday at the Seminole Middle pool. Our volleyball team is on the road against Clearwater.
Our football game this week is home starting at 7:00 pm against Countryside High on Thursday, October 1st, 2020. You can find the link on our school website or go directly to goFan.co.
