We hope everyone had a relaxing Winter Break and enjoyed the time with friends and family. We wish everyone a wonderful New Year and look forward to a successful second semester. As we start the second semester, we would like to remind everyone of the importance of attendance. Please have your students to school on time and here for the whole day so they may get the most from their instructional time with their teachers. The consistency and routine supports learning and promotes student self-esteem and success.

Pasco County Public Schools has scheduled a series of 13 community meetings starting at Anclote High School on
January 14, 2014, to educate parents and the community about
Florida’s new standards for k-12 students.
Meetings are scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at each district high school for parents whose children attend the high schools and the elementary and middle schools that feed into them. Those who attend will hear a presentation by district experts, receive materials explaining what the Common Core
State Standards are and are not, and participate in a question and answer period.
The Florida Board of Education adopted the standards in
2010, and in 2011 schools began implementing curriculum and training teachers to help kindergarten and first grade students master the standards. The standards will be fully implemented in all grades starting with the 2014-2015 school year.

Congratulations to the following classes for having 85% attendance for 90% of the month of December:
Cockerham, Amos, Hero, Parra, Bunker, McKim, Kalemba,
Magavero, Rohrbacker, Johnson, Moberley, Groc, Fuchs,
O’Neill, Brindley, Nichols, Smith, Anderson, Leyendecker,

Each of these classes will receive a popcorn party to celebrate their attendance in school. Please remember the importance of children being at school and on time each day.
It is important that students attend school and arrive on time on a regular basis. Your child's attendance patterns often have a direct link with achievement. Absences are considered excused for the following reasons:
Student illness
Student medical appointment (please attempt to schedule after school hours)
Bereavement
Some religious observances
In the event of an excused absence, please send a note to your child’s teacher that includes your child’s full name, student number, the date of the absence, and the teacher’s name in order to ensure our records are accurate.
