Hurricane Irma Make-up Days

Florida Education Commissioner Pam Stewart released guidance to school districts on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017, regarding the instructional hours we will be required to make up due to Hurricane Irma. The state waived two days and based upon the hours of attendance in Pinellas, we will need to hold a total of three make-up days during the 2017-2018 school year.

The first make-up day will be Monday, October 16, 2017. It is the first designated hurricane make-up day on the instructional calendar.

We will seek a recommendation from the district’s Calendar Committee to determine the two additional make-up days. The committee represents teachers, support staff, administrators, parents and the community. The recommendation regarding the two additional make-up days will be announced by Friday, Sept. 29.

Please mark your calendar and plan for a regular day of school on Monday, October 16, 2017, and expect additional dates to be announced by Friday, Sept. 29.

ACT Test

The September 9^th ACT was cancelled due to Irma. The test has been rescheduled for September 30^th.  ACT will notify all testers personally and they will work with them to find an agreeable test date if the 30^th is not a viable option.

September 23, September 30, October 14 and October 21

All shopping days are held on Saturdays. Hours are 10am to 2pm. No appointments are necessary, nor do we make them. These are the ONLY days to receive a dress.

Our boutique is located at 1210 Holt Ave. Clearwater, FL 33755 and is open ONLY on designated shopping days. We are not open year round.

Our mission statement is “No girl should be denied the opportunity to attend her high school dance because of financial difficulties”

We are a 100% volunteer organization and rely on donations and volunteers.We distribute dresses twice yearly, usually 4 dates in the fall for homecoming and 4 dates again in the spring for prom. High school girls can also get dresses for home school dances and military balls during these dates. Our volunteers have created a beautifully decorated 5,000 sq. ft. boutique for girls` shopping enjoyment. Girls can choose from over 3,000 dresses organized by size and color. Many of the dresses are new with tags

Girls qualify for a dress if they appear in person and attest that they are currently having financial difficulties. No documentation is necessary. We provide all forms. Girls also qualify if they have been referred by school or agency officials, or other non-profit organization. No referral letter is required. We operate on the honor system

Credit Recovery

Scholars who have received a failing grade or a "D" grade in a course may recover the credit and receive forgiveness for the poor grade.  This option is available in many courses taught at Largo.  Upon completion of Credit Recovery, the new grade will replace the old grade and will boost a scholar's grade point average.  Credit Recovery is a online, school-based, after school program at no cost.  Students work at their own pace.  Please contact Mrs. Tammy Proctor in room 2-244 before school or email her at proctort@pcsb.org for a registration form.  Classes are Monday - Thursday (no Fridays) from 2:30 to 4:30.  Classes start on August 14.  Please don't let a poor grade point average prevent you from graduating or losing acceptance to your choice university.  Register today!
