Beanstack 101
Coyote, Families,
Here is a quick video to explain how to log your reading minutes into the free Beanstack App. We would love all of our students to be logging all their reading on the Beanstack App which is available on their myPascoConnect dashboard OR you can download the app on your smartphone/device.
To download the Beanstack App, download it from wherever you download your apps (Apple App Store, Google Play, etc.)
- Click on Beanstack
- Click "At my my library, school"
- At the bottom, click "find site"
- Search "Sanders Memorial"
- Sign in with Username & Password
Username: student 6 digit id number (i.e. 123456)
Password: student's last name (lowercase)
Click here for the Beanstack Tutorial of How to Log In through the app directly. If you are logging in through your child's MyPascoConnect, you do not need these steps, it should be on your child's MyPascoConnect dashboard already.
Click here for How to Log your Minutes once you are in Beanstack.
Remember, Beanstack is how you can log all your student's reading minutes. Be on the lookout for challenges each month! Keep reading, Coyotes!

Student ID Badges
The use of badges will be used to enter and exit the bus will expedite the loading and unloading of buses at school and at bus stops. While students that forget their badges may use the keypad, it does slow the process of entering and exiting the bus. Any student in Pasco County Schools may now download a virtual badge to their phone, further instructions are attached below.
Specifically, secondary schools will print badges upon request by the student, including replacement badges. This means that not every secondary student will have a badge.
Where's the Bus?
Based on either badges, virtual badges on phones, and/or entering of student's ID numbers, Pasco County Schools is happy to announce the return of the "Where's the Bus" feature. See the flyer and information below for more details.

Parent Consents
We need your help! Communication has been sent to you reminding you about the Parent’s Bill of Rights Consent Form and emergency contact card needed for every student. Within the communication, links were provided to Parent Portal information and to the Parent Bill of Rights webpage.
It is important to complete these items. Otherwise, most incomplete consents will be viewed as permission granted by the parent or guardian.
