We hope that everyone has gotten off to a great start in semester 2. This week marks the end of our second semester grace period and all students should be at least 20% complete in their coursework. Our team is busy monitoring student progress and will be making calls to ensure students have scheduled DBA's and are on track. Don't let your student be a DBA dodger! Be sure to check in on your parent account (or in your student's account) to partner with our team in monitoring progress.

We have enjoyed seeing many new and seasoned middle school ninjas during our recent Ninja Cafe. Several students jumped into a session with one of our favorite eSchool volunteers, Mr. Al for a cooking lesson. There may have been a little history lesson and math hidden in the session and everyone enjoyed a sweet treat at the end. We love cooking with Mr. Al!

The next Ninja Cafe is scheduled for February 15th. Teachers will be posting a sign-up for this event on their announcement pages. We hope that everyone will be able to join in the fun that day!

All students will be rostered into a Youth Mental Health Course for the second semester. This course is state mandated. We are in the process of updating the course for students. If your student is in 7th or 8th grade, the course will look very similar to what they completed last year. We will provide more information in the coming weeks.

Mr. Vidal, Ms. Ferraro, and Mr. Englander have started working with students for the Extended School Day (ESD) program. This program is designed to support student learning and help students stay on pace with weekly virtual sessions. If your student is invited to participate in ESD, please make sure that they log in during the scheduled times to receive this important academic support.

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.
