Focus for the Week: Distance Learning Continues through May 27, 2020
Governor Desantis announced over the weekend that Florida school buildings will remain closed for the rest of the school year.
Superintendent Browning supports that decision. Our school campuses will remain closed, however students and teachers will continue to be engaged with distance learning through May 27 – the last day of school.
The decision to keep our campuses closed raises a number of questions. In this video, Superintendent Browning addresses several of those questions.
Upcoming Progress Reports- May 1st
ELEMENTARY
This week marks our 4th week of Distance Learning, and on May 1, Progress Reports for quarter four will post in myStudent for your review.
For elementary students, the progress report will communicate the progress your child has made so far this quarter, as well as over the course of the school year.

Florida Recognizes April as Financial Literacy Month
April is National Financial Literacy Month which is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of financial literacy and teach our students how to establish and maintain healthy financial habits. To celebrate the month and encourage our students to be financially smart citizens in our communities, Pasco County Schools has several virtual events/challenges planned and resources to encourage Financial Literacy Fridays.
To get the learning started, and in partnership with USF Stavros Center, we are excited to host a weekly Financial Literacy challenge. These events are designed to help parents/guardians, employees, community members and students with financial planning matters and getting more information for starting a financially successful future.
We encourage you and your students to shower our Pasco Schools Social Media with your images.
