All registrations must be received by September 5 at the latest. $25 of each fee will be donated back to the Ponte Vedra High School PTO.

Front Office Procedures
Parents, please make note of our front office procedures:
- When checking out your student during the school day please produce a Florida Drivers License. This procedure is in place for safety. It is our top priority to keep everybody safe.
- Students are not allowed to check out during the school day with other students (siblings may leave together).
- If you send a friend or relative to pick up your child please make sure the individual is on your child's pick up/emergency contact list. If you have an emergency and do not have time to add this person to your list a note is required with your signature and phone number. The front office will contact you to verify and this will allow a smooth departure off campus.
- If your student drives to school and needs to leave for an appointment, he or she must have something in writing from his/her Guardian. The note must be delivered to the front office before the start of school which will allow the front office staff enough time to log and contact you for verification. Your student will not be allowed to leave campus until we touch base with you.
If your child is out of school please send a note to the front office upon returning (phone calls are not necessary). The note should be brought to the front office before school and an excused or unexcused slip will be issued to show all teachers.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact our receptionist, Donna Adriano, via email at donna.adriano@stjohns.k12.fl.us or by calling the PVHS Main Office during office hours 8:00am - 4:30pm (904) 547-7350.
