Directions to East Lake High School

5-28-2020  

Good Evening Eagle Families,

Tomorrow we begin yearbook distribution and textbook and other item collection. Seniors only tomorrow! Here is a reminder on the specifics 

Yearbook distribution, locker item distribution, textbook and other item collection

Please see this map for directions: 

Yearbooks are expected to be delivered May 27th.  There are a very limited number of yearbooks available for sale if you have not already ordered one.  At this point, we have roughly 50 extra copies, but the demand is high. Distribution will occur on May 28, May 29, June 1, and June 2nd. Seniors will be on the 28th, and they will get first chance at the extra books, since the current pandemic has cancelled so many of their end of year events. After that, juniors will be on the 29th, and Freshmen and Sophomores will be on the 1st and 2nd of June. If any books are available after the senior day, then they will be available subsequent days.  They will be $80 and due to the timing; the sales will be cash only.

* We are requiring students to show a picture ID when picking up their yearbook.  If someone is picking up their book, we must have it in writing from the student’s parent with a telephone number to verify.  The person picking up the yearbook must also show ID.

Lockers have been cleared out by our staff.  Any text books in lockers have been collected from the lockers.  Other items have been placed in bags and labeled with locker number and name (if known).  If your student was storing items in a friend’s locker, please ask them to contact their friend for their items.
 

All textbooks, uniforms, and other school items will be returned on the dates scheduled below.
 

Seniors only - Computer returns will be on the 28th.  
 

Gym lockers have also been cleared out and those items may be picked up on the same day. 
 

May 28th   Seniors only - 9 AM-11:30 AM and 3 PM-5:30 PM

May 29th Juniors only -   9 AM-12 PM

TEMPORARY DUAL ENROLLMENT PLACEMENT INFORMATION:

Per the Florida Department of Education, administration of the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) is suspended due to the fact that it is not presently available to all students.  In the absence of PERT, SAT and ACT administration, Pinellas County Schools and St. Petersburg College selected the option to use the PSAT/NMSQT for placement into dual enrollment classes.  Students who wish to take dual enrollment classes at SPC may use existing PSAT/NMSQT scores to qualify for the courses with a minimum score requirement, which are included in the Approved Course List (see link below) - the PSAT/NMSQT minimum scores are the same as the SAT minimum scores.  For courses that lack a minimum score requirement, students must still have a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA. From the Advanced Studies webpage regarding dual enrollment (https://www.pcsb.org/Page/1558)
