Warhawk Family Newsletter
March 9th
Warhawk Students and Families,
I can’t believe we are already heading into the fourth week of school! The first few weeks have flown by, and our students are doing a great job. Our Warhawks are SOARing, and I want to encourage everyone to keep up the great work! Continue showing respect, owning your actions, acting safely, and remaining engaged each and every day.
We have some exciting updates and opportunities in this week’s newsletter, so please take a few minutes to read through everything happening around campus.
We are especially excited for our Fall Pep Rally, sponsored by Wendy’s, on Friday, September 4! We are planning a fun, high-energy afternoon for our students to celebrate our Warhawk spirit and kick off the fall season.
As a reminder, Friday is a regular school day, and we want our students to stay on campus and enjoy the pep rally with their classmates. Pep rally days tend to bring a large increase in early dismissal requests, so we are asking families to help us by avoiding unnecessary early checkouts. We will not accept PTL requests over the phone on Friday. The volume of calls we receive on pep rally days can quickly overwhelm our front office and make it difficult for our staff to manage legitimate student and family needs. If your student has an appointment or another need that requires an early dismissal, please plan ahead and follow our normal PTL procedures.
I also want to share an important update regarding our home football games. We love seeing our students, families, and future Warhawks in the stands supporting our teams! To help us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone, all middle school students must now be accompanied by an adult to attend Seminole High School football games.We want Friday nights to be about cheering on our Warhawks, showing great sportsmanship, and enjoying the game.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership. We have had a great start to the school year, and there is so much more to look forward to!
Have a wonderful weekend and as always, Go Warhawks!

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.
