Student Progress:
We are entering week 5 of quarter 2. Progress reports are now available to review on MyStuedent. Please take a few minutes and review your students’ progress. It is important to remember that the quarter 1 grade is averaged with quarter 2 grade to determine the semester grade. The semester grade is what is on student transcripts. If you have questions, contact your student’s teachers. If you would like to schedule a parent/teacher conference, contact Ms. Collige at 352-524-5539. Remember we have free tutoring on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. See the flyer in the newsletter for more information.

An Asbestos Management Plan for Pasco High has been completed and describes the results of the inspection, if applicable, and the action plan to control any asbestos found during the inspection.
