School Meals Update

School Meals Update

For the past several years, all Pasco County Schools have been part of a federal program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This program has allowed us to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students, regardless of income. However, due to rising food costs and changes in federal legislation, our district will be making some changes starting with the 2025–2026 school year.

Week Ahead May 23, 2025

Next week is the last week of school for the 24-25 school year! We are at the point where backpacks are not needed, so please ensure they are left at home next week. Students are allowed to carry lunch boxes, small purses, etc., for incidentals, but any backpacks or large bags brought to school will be held in Student Services.

The Week Ahead May 16, 2025

On behalf of our faculty and staff, we are so proud of all the accomplishments your children have made this year! We are especially excited to celebrate our 8th graders on Friday for their promotion ceremony. Parking for the promotion ceremony will be in the North Field – please look for signs directing you there.

The Week Ahead May 9, 2025

With only 14 days of school left for the 24-25 school year, your kiddos are still showing up strong! Shout out to our 7th graders who knocked the Civics end-of-course exam out of the park today, demonstrating double digit gains based on preliminary data! Staying focused on academics is key right now, most especially for our 8th graders who need to be passing all core content areas in order to promote to high school on time and avoid summer school. Please check on your child’s progress today!

The Week Ahead April 25, 2025

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.
