Dear Parents,
During the summer, notices were sent out requesting student information that is missing from
your child/children’s student file.
We are once again asking that you take care of this important information. The Pasco County
School District and the Pasco County Health Department require all students to have the proper
immunizations, Birth Certificates, and Social Security numbers in their school’s student files.
Please help us with keeping what Pasco County requires by bring to the office what we have
asked for.
Students who do not have this information in their files by October 1, 2005, will not be allowed to
attend classes until we receive all of the forms required.
Sincerely,
Administration
