Attention Teachers and Instructional Coaches: A Message from ARM
On Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5, 2020, Focus Groups will be conducted providing the opportunity for instructional staff members to share ideas and thoughts related to instructional coaching in PCS.
A process will be used to identify participants from a list of volunteers who want to participate and represent Title I and non-Title I schools. All those invited are encouraged to participate, however taking part in the Focus Group is voluntary.
All information collected during the Focus Group meeting will be confidential and all comments will remain anonymous. Trends will be reported as a peer group.
If you are interested in participating, please indicate by completing this form.
The deadline to complete this form is Thursday, May 28 and those selected to participate will be notified Friday, May 29. Please note the Focus Groups are 45 minutes in length and will be scheduled over those two days (specific times TBD).
Thank you.

Grading and Academic Work Weeks 8-9
Middle/High School FAQs
Our goal for weeks 8 and 9 in middle and high school is to have teacher teams collaboratively review student work and assignment completion and determine if there was a need to reduce/exempt a small number of assignments in week 9 (only two days) and week 8 to allow for completion of weeks 1-7. We are not cancelling or eliminating weeks 8 and 9 and know that there are some courses that have critical learning embedded during those weeks for program completion.
If you have any questions, please direct them to your school principal. Thank you!
We are almost done! We can do it!!
Academic Integrity
Regrettably, some students will make a poor decision to submit work that does not reflect their original thoughts and understanding of the course content. Plagiarism and cheating may take several forms, and teachers can use measures (including Unicheck, a plagiarism detection software) to identify work that has been published or submitted before. Subsequent violations will adhere to the Pasco County Schools Student Code of Conduct. Please consult your administration.
