The ABC (Assist, Believe and Care) program was founded by former Pasco County Schools Superintendent Thomas E. Weightman and is officially called the Thomas E. Weightman ABC program. The overarching goal of the program is to try to address those barriers that may interfere with a child's educational success. The program is designed to provide support to students and their families that are experiencing economic hardship or are in an immediate family crisis.

Our school is able to help families in need on a limited basis with specific items such as school supplies, clothes, shoes, food, and other emergency needs. Our district is able to provide this assistance through donations made by private citizens, community organizations, and School Board employees. If PRSMS is unable to meet your needs, the ABC representative will direct you to appropriate resources in the community.
