PARENTS/GUARDIANS
Step by Step instructions for filling out your Emergency Card
Parents,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, it is very important to make sure your contact information is always current and accurate. The school needs to be able to communicate with you regarding any changes or emergencies. Please review the step-by-step instructions below on how to access and fill out the emergency forms.
Title 1 Information
Out-of-Field Teachers Notification
Out-of-Field Teachers: Florida Statutes require that we report to parents any teacher who is teaching a subject(s) outside his/her certification area. The following Pasco High School teachers are teaching out-of-field during the 2022-2023 school year:
Teacher Teaching Out-of-Field Area
Clark, Samson ESOL
Gonzalez, Taylor ELA 6-12 and ESOL
Kinsman, Dylan Chemistry 6-12
Nelson, William ESOL
Pedraza, Victor Health K-12
Singleton, Brian ESE K-12
Voorvaart, Amanda Middle Grades General Science
These teachers are certified in at least one area and are qualified to teach, but need additional course work to add the out-of-field area coverage to their certificate. The teachers listed above are teaching out-of-field while completing course work in the evening, on weekends, and/or during the summer to gain certification, or taking a content area knowledge exam to demonstrate they have the content knowledge to teach their above listed out-of-field area.
English teachers who teach students that qualify as English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) are required to take 300 hours of additional course work beyond their teaching degree to earn an ESOL Endorsement to their State Teachers Certificate. The following teachers are in the process of taking the required course work to earn their ESOL Endorsement: Gonzalez, Taylor; Nelson, William.
All of our out-of-field professional educators are dedicated to helping students succeed in their learning!
