Good morning!

November 2-13 the ABC Committee will be hosting our annual Food Drive! Students and staff can bring in nonperishable items to their first period class to compete for a Donut Party! Items will be picked up by Mrs. Jeannie Fagan’s students and sorted into baskets for our ABC students.

What is the ABC program? This program was created to help our students and families that are in need. We typically create Thanksgiving food baskets, Christmas food baskets, the Angel Tree, and help out with clothes, shoes, toiletries etc. We are currently accepting any donations in order to build up our ABC closet.

If you have any students that you would like to refer to the program please let us know!

Wesley Chapel High School is already preparing for the second semester that begins on January 6, 2021. In order to properly allocate teachers and resources, we are requiring families to notify the school by November 13 if they want to change their student's educational model for the second semester. Requests received after this date will be placed on a wait list and could be changed if space becomes available.

Only parents/guardians are allowed to complete this form. Student requests will not be processed. One form should be submitted for each student in the household that attends WCHS. If you do not want a change of placement, please do not complete the form.

The school may not be able to process an additional request to change the option in this form after it has been submitted.

Changing your option will result in the student's schedule being adjusted. This includes potential changes to their teachers and/or courses from the first semester.

Families that are requesting to be changed to mySchool Online must have internet access and a device for their student. WCHS no longer has loaner devices for students.

Click here to complete the request.

Families considering online enrollment with Pasco eSchool should visit the Pasco eSchool website to register.

Please contact your student's school counselor if you have any questions.

Parents, please take some time to look at these valuable resources to help keep our Wildcats safe. Please reach out if you need assistance.

Please support our efforts to keep our students and staff healthy. Screen your student daily using the Student Screener and contact a medical provider for further guidance if your student develops symptoms or you need medical guidance. COVID-19 testing is available in the community. Contact the school nurse (RN) or administrator immediately if your student receives a positive COVID-19 test result.

Prevention measures for COVID-19:

o The best way to prevent illness is by limiting exposure to the virus.

When to Wear a Cloth Face Covering (Mask)

· The school district requires that all students, visitors, and employees wear a mask or other face covering while on school property and/or engaged in school activities, including outdoors when unable to maintain a distance.

· Transportation

· If you are a car rider, you should apply your face covering when you arrive at school before exiting your car in the parking lot.

· If you are a bus rider you should apply your face covering when you arrive at the bus stop. Face masks will be required on school buses.

When can I remove my Cloth Face Covering (Mask)

· You can remove your face covering when you are outdoors and able to maintain at least a safe distance from others, and at end of the day after you have exited the building.

· You can remove your face covering during meal and snack times. To the extent possible, maintain a 6 ft distance from others when you have your mask off.

· If occupying an office space by yourself, you can also safely remove your mask but should be ready to reapply as soon as others approach you.

Please remind your students to wear a face mask and keep their mouth and nose covered. This is for the protection of your student, other students, and staff members. Our number one goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy.
