Hello, Pasco County families.
Based on the advice of the Pasco County Emergency Management team, schools will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday and resume regular school hours on Thursday. The closure includes all after-school enrichment programs, including PLACE, DELTA, and STAR.
Pasco County Emergency Managers require many of our schools to be storm shelters for families in our community. Based on information from the Pasco EOC, Tropical Storm Idalia is forecasted to impact Pasco County as a Category 3 hurricane, which means the possibility of storm surge for coastal areas, damaging winds, inland flooding, and widespread power outages.
The safety of our students, staff, and their families is of utmost importance to us. With the storm expected to grow in intensity before landfall, we urge all families to take necessary precautions to protect their homes and loved ones by preparing emergency kits, securing outdoor items, and staying updated with local advisories.
A list of storm shelters is forthcoming from the Pasco County EOC, and we will post that information on our website. There will be no breakfast on Tuesday morning at our school shelters, so please bring your water and snacks.
Please monitor our district and your school’s social media platforms for updates. We will also send updates on our website and school messenger to your phones and email. Please stay safe, and we will ensure you are updated throughout the storm.
