Important Announcement Regarding Semester 2
All students will receive a new schedule on the 1st day of second semester. Please follow these instructions:
- If you are a 1st period teacher, pick up student schedules in your mailbox to hand out to your 1st period class on the morning of January 8th.
- Students will be checking alphabetical lists posted throughout our campus for their last names to see where to go for 1st period.
- TAKE ACCURATE ATTENDANCE - Many schedules have changed due to semester classes, balancing, APEX, etc…All teachers need to ensure that their rosters in MyStudent match the students who physically come to your classroom (just because you had the kids in that period last semester does not mean that it is automatically the same 2nd semester).
- If a student is in your classroom that is not on your roster in MyStudent, then that means they are not in your class. Send them to Student Services.
- Take accurate attendance every period of the day…ensuring that every student in your room is on your class roster in MyStudent. If they are not…send them to Student Services.
- If a student IS ON YOUR ROSTER, but just doesn’t ‘like” their new schedule, please do not send them out of your class to see a counselor. Those students need to talk to a school counselor who will be sitting on the stage, during their lunchtime.
- Things you shouldn’t say to students who aren’t listed on your class roll:
- “Oh, just stay in here today and you can figure it out later,”
- “I have room in my class, so just stay here,”
- “You don’t need to follow that new schedule, just follow your old one.”
- Or for the student who is on your class roll, but doesn’t like their new schedule - “Go ahead and go find a counselor now…no need to wait until lunch time."
- Things you SHOULD say to students:
- “Oh, you are not on my list in MyStudent – head up to Student Services and they will connect you with a school counselor who can help you.”
- Or for the student who just isn’t happy with their schedule you should say, “you are on my roster, so stay with me today and go see a school counselor during your lunch up on the stage in the cafeteria."

Aspiring Leaders Registration
We are excited to announce the opening of registration for LEAD, Pasco County Schools’ professional development program for aspiring leaders. LEAD is a 6- night program focused on maximizing leadership potential by enhancing skills, knowledge and experiences. It is open to both instructional and non-instructional aspiring leaders of all levels.
Action Required: Submit your Howlabration Nominations
Hello PLC Facilitators and Elective Teachers,
As Semester 1 is coming to a close, it’s time to look forward to celebrating our students for a job well done! Our Semester 1 Howlabration will be January 17 in the gym. A Middle School ceremony will be held at 7:45 am, followed by a high school ceremony at 9:30 am. At the ceremony, we will recognize students on Straight A and A/B Honor Roll for Semester 1, our Students of the Week, PBIS Awards, and FSA/EOC Perfect Score Awards.
In addition, we will also recognize Outstanding Students in each Subject Area. Each subject area will choose 1 student per grade for their subject area award.
Here is what we need from you:
1. At your next PLC meeting, discuss as a group the students you would like to receive your subject area awards (1 student per grade, 6-12).
2. You will also need to determine who will be the presenter for your middle school awards and your high school awards. We will provide sub coverage for one person in your department to come to the middle school ceremony to present 6-8 awards, and one person in your department to come to the high school ceremony to present 9-12 awards. (Please keep in mind that presenters will only be able to attend the ceremony to present the awards, as we will not have enough sub coverage for each presenter to attend the entire ceremony.)
3. Please write a 3-sentence description of each student who is getting the award and why they have been choosen.
4. Submit this information via this Mach form by Wednesday, December 19:
https://ccmhs.pasco.k12.fl.us/mform/view.php?id=68496
*Outstanding Students are selected at the discretion of each department. You may choose students based on any criteria you feel is appropriate: academics, behavior, modeling HOWL, most improved, or a combination.
Please let me know if your subject area has been inadvertently left off this drop-down list on the Mach Form.

Actionable Items
Submit a Faculty or Student Howlout!
Faculty Howlouts will drive our selections for Staff Member of the Week. Each week we will announce all of our HS and MS Coyote staff members of the week! These staff members will have their names announced on the intercom on Friday. At the end of the quarter the Staff Members of the Week will be invited to a special luncheon in their honor! We look forward to receiving numerous staff shout outs so we have many to select from each week!”
Student Howlouts: At the end of the week these students will be invited down to the flag pole in the center of the courtyard where we will have a Coyote Flag to be raised on Friday. These students will get the honor of raising the flag each Friday, and will have their names announced on the intercom! At the end of the quarter we will have a breakfast for all of our Students of the Week and their parents.
