Wesley Chapel Elementary News

Wildcat Families,

Welcome to the 2nd Semester of the 2021-2022 school year. We hope everyone had a restful winter break. Our new office hours are 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. If you are making changes to the way your child is going home, please call the office before 2:30 p.m. This allows us time to get the information to the teacher in the classroom with minimal interruption to learning. Also, if you are planning on picking up your child early from school, please help us by picking your child up before 2:30 p.m. for an early dismissal.

Thank you for your patience as we get this new year started with time and bus changes. We anticipate that everything will work out by the end of this week. If you have specific bus questions for WCES buses, please call the Southeast Compound at 813-794-0500.

Please help us by using the report an absence link if your child is not able to attend school for whatever the reason. We appreciate the communication.

Also, make sure you have signed up for the Pasco Parent Portal as report cards will be uploaded next week. This is important to see your child's progress. This is also where you can access your child's account for paying for school opportunities like the Yearbook.

Thank you for your continued support! We appreciate it.

The district has put together a very comprehensive array of resources on their website. Here is the home page for these resources: Navigating School in 2021-2022

We have received some questions about when students should quarantine and how notifications about positive cases occurs. Here is the link to the district page that explains these protocols: Coronavirus Protocols

At this time, visitors are still not allowed on campus.

We are still utilizing enhanced cleaning protocols, as well as distancing students as much as possible. Masks are still optional for students and staff.

The health and safety of our Wildcats is our top priority! Thank you for partnering with us!
