February 1 - 5, 2021 is Student Services Week in Pasco County Schools.

During the week of February 1 through February 5, Pasco County Schools will celebrate Student Services personnel. This week provides an opportunity for schools to highlight and recognize the support services that are provided to students, parents, educators, and the community by student services team members, such as:

• School Counselors
• School Social Workers
• School Psychologists
• School Nurses
• and Graduation Enhancement Coaches/SSAPs

The goal of Student Services Week is to focus citizens’ attention on the student services programs, including mental health efforts, as an integral part of the educational program at each school.

Please take a moment to connect and show your appreciation for these team members during their week.

View the official school board proclamation here.

Pasco County Schools is hosting a virtual College and Career Fair. The purpose of this event is to ensure information is shared with families across the district as they plan for college entrance and/or careers after high school.

Registered attendees can sign up for presentations on the following topics:

• College Application Process

• Florida Bright Futures Program
• Collegiate Athletics
• Career Exploration Resources
• Options After High School
• Resources for Students with Disabilities

Posters and flyers (in both English & Spanish) have been distributed and should arrive to all middle and high schools soon. Click here to access them digitally. Additionally, you can use the website below to access an FAQ document (coming soon) to help families with questions they have about the event. Please feel free to share this with support staff who may receive calls about the event. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jennifer Batchelor, Tonia Shook, or Lynn Young.

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.
