Greetings Longhorn Families,

As we continue to focus on November’s Resiliency Skill, Gratitude, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for the incredible staff at Dr, John Long Middle School. Our dedicated teachers, counselors, secretaries, food and nutrition staff, custodians, and instructional support personnel work tirelessly every day to create a world-class education and a nurturing learning environment for our students. Their commitment makes admins jobs more efficient and impactful. We are also endlessly grateful for our community and students.

If a specific staff member has made a difference for you or your child, I encourage you to take a moment to send them a thank you. You can also add a special thank you by clicking the link below that asks to share gratitude.

In each newsletter this month we will include the form below for you to be able to share a positive experience you or your student has had with a staff member. At the end of the month each teacher will receive their notes of gratitude. Please take a moment to share a staff member you are thankful for.

All students who got at least $50 for our school wide POP fundraiser will have the opportunity to participate in the BEST DAY EVER on November 21st.

The Pasco County School District is participating in a full-scale K-12 adoption of Science instructional materials aligned to the Florida’s State Academic Standards for Science. We would like to invite you to be part of the narrowing team, which serves to review and narrow the materials submitted by publishers during the adoption process. To submit your interest for an opportunity to serve on the narrowing team, please complete this form. There is an 8-10 evening commitment for this work. A detailed list of courses to be reviewed, dates, and times of narrowing team commitments are available on the instructional materials adoption website. The deadline to submit your interest is September 20, 2024. Parents/guardians selected through the randomized screening process will be notified by October 7 via email. We appreciate your partnership in this very important work.
