Everyday Pace Osceola Schools

Mrs. Perry knew she wanted to be a teacher from a young age and found her home at East Lake Elementary School in 2016. As a fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Perry prides herself on getting to know her students on a deeper level and connecting with them in a safe environment where they can be their authentic selves.

It is our goal at the Osceola County School District to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and successful. That is why our parents and students have the option to attend the school of their choice. 

In this episode of Everyday Pace, Adriana Casillas our Supervisor of Educational Choices and Innovation Programs answers the most common questions parents have about the choice process. 

On Thursday, November 17th, families are invited to attend the Choice Fair where they can frame their child's future by exploring the programs that cater to their interests and prepares them for the future.  We hope to see you there between 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Osceola Heritage Park! 

Several of our students had the opportunity to sit through the SAT during school on Wednesday, October 12th.  Those students should be receiving their scores any day now.  

Did you know that our students can link their scores in Khan Academy? Elizabeth Hadley joins Dr. Pace on today's episode to talk about how students can take advantage of this awesome and free resource that has proven to increase SAT test scores by at least 39 points after logging at least 20 hours of practice.  

School social worker Kristianna-Kaye White joins Dr. Pace on our newest episode of Everyday Pace to talk about the various relief options available to our families.

We've created a webpage with all the important information Ms. White shares at https://www.osceolaschools.net/post-hurricane-relief.

Please remember to let your school and teacher know if you have been relocated so our district can assist with providing transportation and meals to those students. 

Your friendly neighborhood College and Career Counselor, Mr. Anthony Cook, joins Dr. Pace today to talk about College Week.
