This week I bring you an important message regarding the upcoming Pasco Pathways Expos that will highlight the choices and innovative programs available in our county for the 26-27 school year. We will host two evenings for families: Monday, November 10th at Cypress Creek High School and Monday, November 17th at Hudson High School.
Quarter 1 Progress Reports were published today, Friday, September 19. Please check on your child’s progress! On Tuesday we will be kicking off our first school wide fundraiser. Students will be selling cookie dough to help raise money for student and staff incentives.
Math FAST Progress Monitoring assessments are next week. 8th grade tests on Tuesday, 7th grade on Wednesday, and 6th grade on Thursday. Please encourage your child to take their time and do their best work… these assessments DO matter! They determine course placement (grade level content with foundational supports all the way to Algebra and Geometry) and assist us in monitoring student growth throughout the year. Students that maintain or improve their scores from the end of last year (PM3 from May 2025 to PM1 September 2025) will receive a pass for a week of pajamas at school.
The 1st round of FAST Progress Monitoring assessments of the year begin with English Language Arts for 8th grade on Tuesday, 7th grade on Wednesday, and 6th grade on Thursday. Please encourage your child to take their time and do their best work… these assessments DO matter! They determine course placement (ELA Level 1s are automatically placed in Intensive Reading, for example) and assist us in monitoring student growth throughout the year. Students that maintain or improve their scores from the end of last year (PM3 from May 2025 to PM1 September 2025) will receive a pass for a week of pajamas at school.
We have had a wonderful first week of school! It has been great seeing all of our students back on campus, and meeting our new 6th graders. Your kiddos are really engaged and demonstrating Pirate PRIDE! I am proud to be their Principal, and am grateful for your support!
