Even if you feel that you do not qualify, you should still fill out the forms, as other scholarships come from this application process as well. If you are not sure if you have completed this form, please see your guidance counselor.

Efforts continue to educate families about transition to Common Core State Standards
The district has launched a Common Core Web presence aimed at informing families about Common Core State Standards. Pam Moore, Executive Director of PreK-12 Core Curriculum, worked with Communications Coordinator, Lorri Helfand, and district Webmaster, Eirrin Sustaita, to create the pages which can be accessed from the homepage of the district’s website.
https://www.pcsb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3489&Itemid=1845
The Web presence includes numerous resources, including background on Common Core, videos, and specific information just for parents that defines Common Core State Standards as what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should know in English language arts and mathematics. Pinellas implementation has already started in kindergarten and first-grade classrooms and in second-, sixth- and ninth-grade reading/language arts classrooms.
The literacy standards are also being implemented in social studies/history and science classrooms, and in other technical subjects. The Common Core State Standards will be fully implemented in all grades during the 2014-15 school year.
The end-of-the-year Academic Awards Ceremony will take place Thursday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the Theater.
Departmental and school honor awards will be presented along with community scholarships. Students being honored will receive invitations the first week of May.

We are in real need for volunteers to fill these positions and more. By just giving a few hours a month you can ensure that PTSA and Boosters continue at East Lake High. Contact Mrs. Kovacs at 727-942-5419 x2025 if you are interested in supporting our PTSA in any way.
