Spirit of Community Awards

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards were created in 1995 to recognize students in middle level and high school grades who have made meaningful contributions to their communities through volunteer service. Any student who is in grades 5-12 and has engaged in a volunteer activity that occurred at least in part after September 1, 2016 can apply. Applications should be completed and submitted to the school principal by November 7. The online application form will be available in September at spirit.prudential.com.

Support Longwood Rotary

The Longwood Rotary would like to offer our thanks to all the parents and teachers who donated school supplies to our collection drive in the summer of 2016.  In total we gathered enough supplies for approximately 50 children! While you are out shopping this summer for your own children we ask everyone to consider buying some of the “loss leader” school supplies such as spiral notebooks, glue, folders, paper, composition books, etc. that are available at all various office supply stores. We work with Kennett Area Community Service (KACS) to make sure these supplies are going to properly qualified children in our community. We have large blue collection bins placed in the lobbies of all the schools. If you have any questions about this project or would like to learn more about the Longwood Rotary group please contact Jordan Gushurst (jordan@gushurst.com). Thank you for your support!

New School Start Times

This past spring our School Board approved a change in the UCF school start times. Research shows there are many benefits from later school start times, including decreases in teen depression, car crashes, behavior problems, discipline referrals, absenteeism, and tardiness. The UCF new school start times are as follows -- Elementary: 9:10 AM - 3:40 PM, High School/Middle School: 8:00 AM - 2:43 PM. A list of all schedule changes and FAQs are available on The School Start Time website. The communications team is here to help - please forward your questions to communications@ucfsd.net. You may also view the new Patton Bell Schedules right here.
