Pasco County Schools is committed to reducing absenteeism and increasing student achievement outcomes. That’s why this year, and moving forward, we will be increasing awareness around the importance of attendance—with the goal of strengthening our collective responsibility to make sure students are learning every day. Each month we’ll be sharing facts and helpful tips about attendance.
Our final round of state testing begins next Thursday with 8th grade taking the ELA FAST Assessment. 7th grade will take the same assessment on Friday. Please assist your child’s success on all upcoming testing dates by ensuring they are well-rested, have eaten breakfast, and are present and on-time to school so that they can complete the task with their regular group of classmates.
The road closures we’ve been anticipating since the beginning of the school year have finally arrived! Gates are being installed this weekend and we are giving everyone some time to prepare for the closures to begin. The map in the Pirate Press shows where the roads will be closed and the alternative routes that can be taken. Closures will go into effect in the coming few weeks.
Next week is the end of quarter 3 and Friday is Teacher Planning Day so there will be no school for students. Also, don’t forget to move your clocks forward one hour on Sunday as we Spring Ahead!
