Principal's Message
Academic Support:
We have only 8 school days left for the 2021-2022 school year.
Please continue to help your student stay on-track by doing weekly backpack clean out and paper organization, reconciling papers in that backpack with assignments you see in your MyStudent portal, checking on their tardies, and clearing any absences with written parent and/or doctor's notes.
Attendance and effort in every class period every day and working on/turning in every assignment will make a HUGE and positive impact on your student's academic progress.
Many assessments are still required for graduation. Please ensure your student is in classes every day. We have a great deal of testing occurring in several locations on campus..
Bulldog PRIDE:
Many of our students are exemplary when demonstrating academic skills, positive behaviors, and language choices. We will continue to review all BulldogPRIDE components this quarter and will continue to hold students accountable for their behavior and language choices when outside of PRIDE standards. Passes out of class will be restricted to only one student out of class at a time, using our lanyard passes.
Proud

Individual Thinker
Dedicated to Academics

We follow the Pasco County Schools Student Code of Conduct and Dress Code guidelines for all students. We encourage all students and parents to review the Pasco County School Student Code of Conduct and Dress Code. Students who continue to violate the Pasco County Schools Student Code of Conduct will be referred for consideration of alternative placement.
Closed Campus:
ZHS is a closed campus. Students are expected to remain on campus for the entire school day and do not have permission to leave campus for food/lunch. Additionally, outside food, food delivery, and food sales is not allowed, as it jeopardizes our Free and Reduced Meal status. These deliveries will be refused.
We are resilient. We are committed. We are determined. We are Bulldog STRONG!
--Dr. Christina Stanley

Pasco County Schools Covid-19 Protocols
COVID-19:
Visit https://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/coronavirus for the Pasco County Schools District COVID response plan and protocols. Parents can check the district dashboard for updates on positive COVID cases.
- The COVID-19 Daily Report will be updated on the district website each school day. It will report the number of daily confirmed COVID-19 cases among students and staff. Parents are encouraged to review the Daily Report to stay up to date regarding COVID-19 cases at their student’s school.
- Direct notification will be limited to students or staff who are required to isolate.
Students will NOT need to isolate until/unless they develop symptoms or become unable to pass the self-screener found on the the ZHS and Pasco County Schools websites.
Please monitor your student for symptoms and use the self-screener. If your student is not feeling well, please do not send them to school.
We continue to take many precautions for student and staff safety that include cleaning supplies in every classroom/work area, social distancing, optional wearing of masks/face barriers, Public Service Announcements (in this newsletter, on the daily School Announcements, and more), hand sanitizer all over campus, and more.
Thank you!
Thank you to all of the people, organizations, and community members who donated time, money, gifts, food, resources and more to the ZHS student body, staff, and community.
The Bulldog Community is unlike any other! Your kindness and generosity is a blessing! #BulldogPRIDE
