Thank you for supporting our school! To become a CRES partner please call Mrs. Miller at the Main Office for more information. 727-774-3002

We have many families that have not done the required updates through the parent portal! It is VERY important to update your child's information and for parents/guardians to sign the parent bill of rights. We want to ensure your child is able to be seen in the clinic, you are able to be contacted in case of an emergency, and you are able to access your child's struggles or successes through progress reports, report cards and test results.

Encourage your child to make kind choices on a daily basis. Reminding them that if something could be hurtful instead of helpful, then it is not kind.

Please remember to keep a clean change of clothes in your child's backpack for accidents. Unfortunately, we don't always happen to have the correct size clothing in our clinic when accidents occur.

As of the start of the 2023-2024 school year, all messages are being sent through MyStudent via an email. These would include messages from our Principal, your child's teacher, school support staff , as well as from our Pasco County School District. Please make sure you have created a Parent Portal through MyStudent so you are able to receive these messages. You will no longer receive Connect Ed voice messages. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Front Office at 727-774-3000

If your family is in need of any clothing items, we invite you to contact Mrs. Miller in the front office 727-774-3000 to set up a time during the school day to come in and get what you need. In the event transportation and/or timing is an issue, we have created a form which can be sent home upon request (please call the front office). When we receive the request form, we will call your child/children down to pick out the items requested and send them home in their backpack.

If you have gently used clothing or shoes that are free of rips and stains that you would like to donate, please drop them off to our front office.

Thank you in advance for your donations!

Individuals who are teaching out-of-field are qualified to teach but are required to take additional coursework or testing to add a teaching area and/or endorsement to their certificate. the state also requires a teacher to take coursework or in-service towards an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) endorsement when the teacher is the primary language arts teacher and/or reading teacher for an ESOL student.

The bus transportation call center is open Monday-Friday all school year from 6:30am to 5:30 pm. If you need assistance please call 727-774-2500 someone from the call center will be able to assist you.

CRES invites our families to come and eat with their child for lunch. Please be aware that you will not be able to invite a friend of your child's to eat with you. We have picnic tables set up outside the Cafeteria and on the other side of the Media Center. You may also bring a blanket, etc. and make it a picnic style lunch at our CRES Amphitheater. Lunch is the perfect time for parent engagement on campus. If you need to know your scholars lunch time, please contact the front office at 727-774-3000.
