Senior Pictures

Seniors!!! It's time to get your senior pictures taken! Leonard's Studio will be on campus July 25-26 from 9am-3pm. Each of you will receive an appointment card in the mail about two weeks prior to the picture date. Once you receive the card, please call and confirm your time. This will cover your yearbook portrait. Ladies, you need to wear some type of spaghetti strap top to accommodate the drape used in the photos; Gentlemen, wear a light colored undershirt. Leonard's will supply the drape for the ladies and the tux, shirt and bow tie for the gentlemen. Please bring a few different outfits, if you choose to upgrade your session. If you do not receive an appointment card, please call the senior dept at 888-224-5045 to make your appointment. You MUST have your yearbook formal taken with Leonard's in order to be in the yearbook. Congrats, class of 2018!  Please email Ms. Brescia at bresciab@pcsb.org if you any questions.

Summer Reading Resources

From our media specialist - share this with your scholars or you can use this with your own school aged children:  Summer Reading

•  Istation and ST Math are only available to elementary level students but if you have children in those grade levels then they just use their log-in credentials to gain access. 

•  We do not have a subscription to Overdrive because I buy all my e-books through Mackin or Follett but some of the elementary schools have access. 

•  Remember to go through Destiny Discover to access e-books instead of the MackinVia app.  It’s much easier to search in Destiny than in MackinVia and you also will have access to district level purchases. 

•  MyOn requires students to complete an inventory assessment before reading books.  It will tell you your Lexile level and will recommend books that are on or above level based on your interests.  After 5 books or 3 hours, whichever comes first, you will have to take another inventory assessment to make sure you are making progress. 

•  Remember these resources are for Pinellas County Public school students and do not apply to charter or private schools.  Check with those schools to see if they have access to similar resources.
