MSOL - IMPORTANT
Parents, everyone should have received communication from the district last Wednesday that stated the following:
Parent/Guardian:
On November 30th, the Florida Education Commissioner extended the Emergency Order that allows Florida school districts to continue offering mySchool Online in the second semester. As such, in the second semester, we will continue to provide three learning options while providing critical supports for all of our learners, especially those who may be struggling. We will also continue our measures for protecting the health and safety of our students and staff.
If your student is enrolled in the mySchool Online option or Pasco eSchool, in the coming days you can expect to receive a communication from your student’s school regarding your student’s academic progress and your decision to continue their enrollment in the MySchool Online option or in Pasco eSchool. Some parents may have received a call already. If your student is not making adequate progress, the state requires that your student enroll back in their traditional school setting.
Thank you for your continued support of our schools, students, and staff as we continue to navigate the uncharted territory of attending school during a pandemic for the second semester of the 2020-21 school year.
We sent emails today to some MSOL students using the parent email account. We will call any parents that we do not have emails for and try to get an email so you can have the letter today. Not all MSOL students will receive a letter. Only those students who are not making adequate progress as the district communication stated, will receive an email. If you aren't sure if you should receive an email. Please feel free to call the school or email any administrator and we will let you know. If you did receive an email, please make sure you read through it. We appreciate it!
