 Dear Largo IB Families, 

Hello, my name is Arni Kumar and I am a junior in IB. I was hoping to inform and promote my CAS project that Megan Mcarthy and I are doing. We are selling bracelets for $5 made in Nicaragua and Guatemala to support artisan families and fair trade. For in-person students, we will be selling these bracelets during lunch on Monday and Wednesday, and for online students, I have attached a flyer with a QR code for them to choose one of three days to pick up the bracelets after school. I have attached a flyer to provide more information. I spoke to Mr.Liem and he suggested reaching out to you to help Megan and me to promote it. 

Thank you

-Arni

 Below is the updated 1st-semester exam schedule.

FAFSA: Fill it out!

Good morning.

Attached you will find a flyer for the upcoming virtual FAFSA Completion Events that will be offered in conjunction with SPC. Additionally, here is a direct link to the sign up (also listed on the flyer): https://web.spcollege.edu/survey/31150.

 

To attend, students will need to register so that they can be emailed a link to the event. There isn’t a deadline to register; however, it is possible that the events will fill up so I would encourage them to sign up early.

 

I am going to add this information to our FAFSA & Financial Aid pages as well as request that it be added to the banner on the PCSB main page. I will also add it to Peach Jar. I am checking with Strategic Communications to find out additional ways to promote such as School Messenger but I haven’t heard back. I will keep you posted but encourage you to get the word out to your seniors.

 

Thanks,

Assistant Principal Jonathan Marina weekend update

 

Good afternoon Largo High Family. This is assistant principal Jonathan Marina. Welcome to another installment of the weekend update.

Tomorrow, Monday, October 26th, 2020 is NOT a school day for our scholars.  Please keep them home.
 
We wrap up PSAT on October 29th with our current face to face 9th graders.  Those of you just moving back to face to face should be on the lookout for a Freshman makeup day in January. 

All enrolled LHS scholars can get their flu shot at NO COST!  The email version of this message has consent forms in it.  Let’s work hard to stop the spread!  If you choose to not send your child to school for more than two days because he or she is sick, please notify the Largo High School Clinic to make them aware of your child’s absences.

Please support the Referendum. It funds strengthening reading, music and art programs; provides current technology and textbooks; and helps recruit and retain quality teachers. Pinellas County voters have renewed the Referendum every four years, by large margins, since the half-mill property tax was approved in 2004. Every penny collected through the Referendum is locally controlled and supports Pinellas County teachers and scholars.

Please join our award-winning PTSA. There are two ways to join: online at https://largohigh.new.memberhub.store/store or fill out the attached form and send it into the front office or mail it in.

Our afterschool program, RISE, runs Mondays - Thursdays, from 2:00 - 3:30 each day.  At 3:30, all scholars in attendance are eligible to stop by the café and pick up a free to-go dinner.
