A Note from the Desk of Ms. Choo
Hello parents,
We have had a great first month of school. Our teachers have been busy getting to know your children.
We are excited by the great work our students are doing every day. We are entering Week 5 of classes. Students should be approximately 30% with their courses. Please remember that pace is an essential component in eSchool. This helps you monitor if your child is making appropriate progress in the course.
All students will need to finish the semester 1 courses by the winter break. If your child has stated late or has gotten behind, please contact your child's teacher for a pace plan to get back on pace.

Attendance Matters
In Pasco eSchool's secondary program attendance in class is demonstrated by submitting work within a 7-day period. Attendance is entered into our student tracking system, myStudent, every Thursday and parents will receive an automated call if a student has not completed at least one assignment in each class.
The goal of these calls is to share this information with parents so they can help students get back on track.
For students who have longer periods of time without work submissions, parents can expect our team to reach out through phone calls and emails, schedule parent conferences, require students to attend virtual extended school day, require students to work on our school's campus, and other attendance interventions.
Our goal is to work with families to ensure that all students are successful learners.
Below is a link to the excused absence form for students who may need an absence excused.
