Ponce de Leon FBLA
Community Service Project

For the 2015- 2016 school year, the community service committee chose to provide activities that would target the areas of reading literacy, parental involvement, and community involvement and education for the targeted preschool population in all areas in Holmes County.   Activities will include providing families with books to continue the enjoyment of books in the home, create a memory book that will allow children and their families to remember the positive learning environment at Head Start, and provide two community events for all parents and children within the community with food, fun and the opportunity for parents to receive educational information in an informal setting.   

There will be no school on Monday, February 15 in observance of Presidents' Day.  Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 16.

ESE Parent Survey

February 5, 2016

Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) surveys parents of children with an individual educational plan (IEP) to determine how well your child's school is partnering with you and promoting your involvement in your child's education.  All states must collect this data as part of their State Performance Plan, as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  The survey can be completed online at the following link:  http://www.esesurvey.com.

Your feedback is important in helping the state and local school systems continue improving educational programs for children.

The Holmes District School Board recently entered into a partnership with the Holmes County Sheriff's Department to provide additional resource officers for the county's schools.  As a result of this agreement, three officers will provide support to the schools.  One officer will be assigned to the three Bonifay schools; another officer assigned to the Ponce de Leon schools, and a third officer will divide his time between Bethlehem and Poplar Springs.  Superintendent Dixon stated, "As Superintendent, my first responsibility every morning is to ensure a safe and secure environment for students and employees."  Pictured L-R are Lt. Adrienne Odum, Deputy Willie Maples, Superintendent Eddie Dixon, Sheriff Tim Brown, Cpt. John Tate, and Sgt. Greg Johnson.
