Take Stock in Children is designed to help qualifying students achieve success in high school and guide students towards college. The program provides a mentor, college success coach, workshops, and individualized college readiness for each participant. Students commit to their success and are held accountable for their grades, attendance, and behavior as well as committing to remaining crime/drug free. At graduation, and completion of the Take Stock program, students are awarded up to 4 years of college tuition to pursue a technical, associates, or bachelors degree!

📣 Attention Parents & Guardians! This is a friendly reminder that PM2 testing begins this week.
🗓️ Upcoming Testing Dates!
During December and January, students in grades 3–12 will participate in progress monitoring assessments to measure their growth since the beginning of the school year.
📘 Students will complete the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) and Progress Learning Assessments.
These important tools help us track student progress on the Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards and guide instruction throughout the year.
📅 Please see the attached calendar for grade-specific testing dates and plan accordingly for any upcoming appointments or absences.
✅ Thank you for supporting your child’s success—encourage them to do their best!
