Chalk Talk 02/24/2021

February 23, 2021 By Mary Rathman

School resource officers care about the community

Pasco County Sheriff’s Office Cpl. Greene sponsors the J.W. Mitchell High SADD Club (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and helped the students to prepare a PSA (public service announcement) video for their upcoming ‘Battle of the Belts’ competition. Greene also coaches the offensive linemen on the football team and spends time in the weight room with the students. (Courtesy of Pasco Sheriff’s Office)
Pasco Sheriff’s Cpl. Stevenson, SRO officer at Marchman Technical College, helped Cpl. Ziegler at Chasco Middle School with a clothing drive before the winter holidays. One the most requested items was socks, so Stevenson provided those, along with food items, to aid families over the winter break.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

College/Career Fair
Pasco County Schools will host a virtual College and Career Fair on Feb. 25 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., to share information with families across the district as plans are made for college entry and/or careers after high school.

To learn more and to register, visit Pasco.k12.fl.us/oll/page/college-and-career-fair.

Revised spectator rules
Pasco County Schools announced a revised set of rules that went into effective as of Feb. 15, to allow for more spectators at school sporting events and more audience members at performing arts events.

The new rules will allow for 50% capacity at all outdoor events, including both athletic and performing arts events.

Indoor athletic events would be limited to four spectators for each athlete, and indoor performing arts events will be limited with up to four audience members per performer.

Mask rules will remain the same: Outdoor spectators and audience members are required to wear masks while entering and leaving the venue, and when leaving their seats to visit the concession stand or restroom. Masks are not required while spectators are seated at an event.

Spectators and audience members are required to maintain appropriate social distance with one another, other than direct family members.

The revised rules were established after Pasco County experienced a decrease in local COVID-19 cases and infection rates, and after consulting with the Pasco Department of Health.

Academy at the Farm
Academy at the Farm, 9500 Alex Lange Way in Dade City, is open for enrollment through Feb. 28.

The charter school is “designed to meet the needs of all students by promoting academic excellence, developing productive citizens through character building, and incorporating the advancement of technology in the curriculum,” according to its website.

The academy serves preschool through eighth grade.
