Hello Pirates, this is your principal, Ms. Gilbert, at Pasco Middle School with information and our calendar of events for this week.

We hope that you and yours made it through Hurricane Helene safely. If you experienced significant damage or loss due to the storm, please reach out to us and we will connect you to community resources for assistance. Next week is FTE Week where student attendance is especially vital… for every student absent we risk losing that child’s allocated state funding for our school. Please do your best to ensure that students are in attendance all week. Next week is also the last week of 1st quarter. Please encourage your children to check with their teachers on any missing assignments that could increase their grades prior to final grades being submitted. Lastly, we are excited to announce that we are continuing our partnership with the SVB Tennis Foundation this year! This FREE after-school program, exclusively for up to 30 Pasco Middle School students, will be focused on education and tennis programming, and will be held every Monday and Wednesday from 1:40-3:10, October 21st to December 18th. Registration will be completed online this year – the QR code and link are on the flyer in the Pirate Press. Waitlisted students will be contacted when spots open. To learn more about the SVB Tennis Foundation, please visit www.svbtennisfoundation.org. The Pirate Press Parent Newsletter is posted on our school website and social media sites for this week and contains additional important information. The information with the days below is a highlight of events for the upcoming week. Please make sure you review the Pirate Press Parent Newsletter every week.
