Student Progress:

We are entering the first week of quarter 4. Report cards for quarter 3 will be available on Monday, March 31st. Please take a few minutes and review your students’ progress. It is important to remember that quarter 3 grades are averaged with quarter 4 grades to determine semester 2 grades. Credits are earned based on semester grades. 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.

Attendance/Tardies:

Parents and Guardians, we really need your support with communicating with your students the importance of coming to school daily and getting to class on time. I encourage you to check your parent portal and look at your students’ attendance at least weekly. Please make sure you are aware that the school day begins at 7:15am.

Student Parking:

Student drivers, now that everyone is back parking in the stadium lot it is imperative that you park in your designated area, an open or reserved spot. Parking permits are required and strictly enforced. You may have received a warning last week but this week we will once again start booting vehicles who are parked in the wrong parking lot (students are not to park in the front of the school), wrong spots, or do not have a visible parking permit.

Seniors:

You received an important end-of-the-year letter earlier in the week. It is important to read the letter and take note of the important dates and deadlines. Reach out if you have any questions.

Seniors! Scholarship applications are approaching their deadlines quickly!!! Please make sure you're checking your CRC Canvas course or the wall outside of the CRC/Ms. Edwards office. See Ms. Edwards if you have questions.

It is extremely important that each parent/guardian have a parent account on the MyStudent portal. This is where you will be able to access student fees, review your student's schedule, monitor absences/tardies, check grades, and email teachers.

Parents,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, it is very important to make sure your contact information is always current and accurate. The school needs to be able to communicate with you regarding any changes or emergencies. Please review the step-by-step instructions below on how to access and fill out the emergency forms.

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a final rule, 40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E, Asbestos Containing Material in Schools. This rule requires all Local Education Agencies to identify asbestos containing materials in their school buildings and to take appropriate actions to control the release of asbestos fibers.

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. A copy of this plan is located in the administrative office of this school and at the Pasco County Schools Maintenance & Facility Services Department and is available for review upon request.
