New High School Graduation Requirements
During the 2010 legislative session, the Florida Legislature approved new high school graduation requirements. The new requirements will be phased in beginning in the 2010-2011 school year. They cover primarily science and mathematics courses. Although the total number of math and science courses needed to graduate with a standard diploma will remain the same (4 credits in math and 3 credits in science), the specific courses required within each category have been revised. The new graduation requirements will take effect based on the year that students enter 9th grade. The new requirements are outlined here.
The Florida Department of Education is working with school districts to gather information on how well parents think their child's school is partnering with parents of students with disabilities, and would like to include your input. Your responses will help guide efforts to improve services and results for children and families.This survey is for parents of students with individual educational plans (IEP) receiving special education services during the 2011-12 school year. All information provided will remain confidential. You may submit one online survey for each child receiving services.
Parents: Please be advised that weather or emergency related school closing information will be posted here if possible. Keep in mind that the district only makes the decision to close or open schools in times of inclement weather or emergency. As the parent, you must make the decision as to whether it is safe for your individual child to attend school.
Always watch this site for any school closing information. Please keep abreast of emergency and weather situations and stay safe!
