School choice applications
As we prepare for the 2024-25 school choice window, we wanted to update you on the change in our customer service for families around all things school choice. This week we launched a School Choice specific Let’s Talk landing page. Questions can now be submitted as outlined below:
- Calling the School Choice office, (813) 320-2743
- We are asking schools and departments to only give out this number to avoid families from being transferred multiple times
- Emailing School Choice Let’s Talk pascopathways@k12-lets-talk.com
- Submitting a Let’s Talk ticket on the School Choice webpage
- Submitting a Let’s Talk ticket via any district webpage (and then clicking “School Choice” as the topic category).
Please note: beginning on January 8th, the pascopathways@pasco.k12.fl.us will no longer be active. All communication will now go through the Let’s Talk system.
The school choice window will be open from January 8 @ 8:00 am through January 19, 2024 @ 4:30 pm.

Have A Parent Portal, But Can't See Your Child's information?

Have you completed your Emergency Card Information?
In case of an emergency, your child's school must have the most up-to-date contact information.

⚠️FAST accommodations letter ⚠️
Schools had been sending out a letter regarding test accommodation for FAST testing.
By signing this letter you (parent/guardian) decline the "small group" accommodation, which allows students to test in an alternative setting with a smaller group of students.
As a general reminder, if you happen to receive any information from your student's school and are unsure of the information or the implications, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
Please don't sign any documents until having a clear idea of all implications.
We want to hear from you
Please follow us on social media, and contact us if you have questions or concerns regarding your student ESOL services.
