Warhawk Family Newsletter
March 9th
From the Principal's Desk
Dear Warhawk Students and Families,
I hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep this weekend! We are hoping for cooler weather as we welcome November and begin the countdown to Fall Break. Please review these important updates and reminders.
Construction Update—Buildings 5 and 7
Starting Monday, our construction team will begin creating a retention pond to address flooding in the outdoor corridor between Buildings 5 and 7. A temporary construction wall will block the outdoor route connecting these buildings to the opposite side of campus. This work is expected to take approximately five days.
During construction, students will need to use the interior route to reach the opposite side of campus. Our safety and security team will be stationed near both entrances to help students navigate this temporary change.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as this work helps improve our campus. Students should follow staff directions and move promptly and safely between classes.
November 11—No School for Students
There will be no school for students on Wednesday, November 11. This is a school-based professional learning and teacher planning day for instructional staff. Classes will resume on Thursday, November 12.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work toward designing an A-rated future while elevating the student experience. Your support helps us keep our campus safe, welcoming, and focused on learning.
As always, Go Warhawks!

Self-Reporting Systems
Say Something
Pinellas County Schools has partnered with Sandy Hook Promise to offer the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. Say Something allows you to submit secure & anonymous safety concerns to help identify and intervene upon at-risk individuals BEFORE they hurt themselves or others. Tips made to the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System are passed along to the appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
Fortify FL
Additionally, the district utilizes FortifyFL, a school-related suspicious activity reporting tool that allows Florida students and the community the ability to instantly relay information anonymously concerning unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent or criminal activities, or the threat of these activities, to the appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials. FortifyFL was created and funded by the 2018 Florida Legislature as part of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act.
