Good evening, Green Devil Families!

Here is your September 30^thweekly update for school events and information:

*As we prepare to reopen our school following the recent hurricane, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to those who have been affected by this devastating event, especially to families who have experienced significant loss, including the destruction of their homes.

We understand that many of you are facing extraordinary challenges, and the return to school may feel overwhelming. Please know that we are here to support you and your children in every way possible. Our staff is committed to creating a compassionate and understanding environment for students who may be struggling emotionally or academically during this difficult time.

If your family is in need of assistance or if your child requires additional support as they transition back to school, please reach out to us. We are working to ensure that all students are met with kindness, patience, and the flexibility they need to navigate this situation.

Thank you for your strength and resilience as we come together to support one another in the aftermath of the storm. We are here for you, and we will get through this together.

*REMINDER-  Monday, October 14, a designated hurricane make-up day, will now be a student school day for all Pinellas County Schools in order to make up for instructional time lost during this past week.  Additional make-up days, if needed, will be determined at a later date.

*Our campus is open from 6:30AM-2:30PM each day.  No student should be dropped off before 6:30AM and all students (unless they are in a school sponsored event and with an adult sponsor) should be OFF campus no later than 2:30PM.

Our office hours are 7:00AM to 3:00PM.  If you need to sign your child out early from school, please make sure to do so prior to 1:30 PM.  NO PTLs will be permitted after 1:30, students cannot be released during the last 25 minutes of the day.
