Message from Mr. McDermott
As we wind down the school year, I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of doing your best and finishing the year on-track. Also, as we are now in the process of administering state tests, it is imperative that you attend all testing sessions you are scheduled for. These tests impact graduation and course placement for next year so be well rested, focused, and do your best.
When do I test?
For questions, email Mrs. Richter mailto:crichter@pasco.k12.fl.us
