Largo's Exam Regular Schedule

School Times for 2018 2019

From Dr. Grego's desk:

Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, many schools will have new start and dismissal times. These changes were made after an extensive review of start times by a cross-functional task force. We listened to input from families, students and employees. In an effort to move high school start times later, the task force worked to review all possibilities for adjusting times while focusing on safety and the ability of school buses to transport students in all grade levels on time.

The start and dismissal times, approved on April 10, 2018, by the Pinellas County School Board, are listed by school online: School start and dismissal times for the 2018-2019 school year.

Largo High School        7:20 a.m. start      1:50 p.m. dismissal

Leaving School Early

Recently, we had several students walking off campus without acquiring permission to leave school.  County policy mandates that a student must have permission from the school to leave campus. 

At Largo High School, students are required to get permission to leave campus through the front desk.  There are no excuses for not following this policy.

Parent, guardian or authorized person may (name listed in Focus)...

• Call - may release your child by calling Mrs. Brock at 727-588-3758 x2000
• Email or Write a Note - may write a note to Mrs. Brock (brockb@pcsb.org) which should include
  • the student's legal full name (first and last)
    
  • parent name
  • parent contact number
  • date of release and time 

Students will receive a Permit to Leave (PTL) which is proof of leaving campus legally.  Students should write their name clearly on the log indicating time of departure as log entries are used to modify attendance. 

Students not following policy may face disciplinary actions.
