Spring FSA Writing & MAP Testing Schedule. Specific details will be shared next week.
Your student will be scheduled for state testing this spring. We use the test results to provide information to parents, students, and teachers about student performance and to help target instruction. The school and district use the results to help target resources and supports.
We continue to actively practice safety and social distancing protocols in line with guidance from the CDC and the Pasco Health Department. Public areas are sanitized regularly, masks are required for staff and students, hand sanitizer is readily available, and frequent hand washing is recommended.

2020-2021 Physical Education Requirement - Waiver
Florida state legislation requires students in grades 6-8 to take at least one semester of physical education - PE each year. The legislation allows parents to waive the requirement if the student meets at least one of the following:
- The student is enrolled or required to enroll in a remedial course (waiver not required).
- The parent requests that the student enrolls in another elective course offered by the school at that grade level.
- The student is participating in equivalent physical activities outside of the school day.
***A student may still be assigned to PE unless there are documented health conditions & the waiver is completed.
