Did you know that all Pasco County students have free access to Xello, an engaging online career exploration and planning platform? Students can access Xello directly through their Pasco Connect dashboard by selecting the Xello app icon. 

Parents and guardians can also become involved by creating a Family Account (request access through your student's School Counselor or Career Specialist).

For our middle and high school students, Xello helps you create your own personalized roadmap for college, career, and future success. Through interactive assessments, students discover career pathways that align with their skills, interests, and personality. This year, explore your unique future through self-discovery, career exploration, and planning. Xello also allows students to research and compare hundreds of colleges and universities, helping them make informed decisions about life after high school. In addition, interactive lessons build valuable life skills such as making important decisions, preparing for job interviews, and creating a budget.

For our elementary students, Xello brings learning to life through Career Town, a fun and engaging adventure where some of the town's workers have gone missing! Students team up with Detective Jill to solve the mystery, explore different careers, and help restore order to Career Town while learning about the world of work. We encourage all students and families to take advantage of this valuable resource and start exploring the possibilities for a bright and successful future.

Connect with your student's School Counselor, Teacher, or Career Specialist to learn more!

Meet Ashley Cox, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Teacher at Pine View Elementary.

 In this episode of Work Pasco Voices, Ashley shares her "why" and what inspired her to pursue a career supporting students with autism. ASD teachers play a vital role in helping students develop academic, communication, social, and life skills in a structured and supportive environment. Through individualized strategies, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to student growth, they help students build confidence and celebrate milestones.

Ashley also reflects on the unique impact ASD teachers have not only on students, but on their families as well. From celebrating achievements to witnessing meaningful progress throughout the school year, she shares why this career is both rewarding and life-changing.

Every day, our amazing bus drivers and transportation team roll in with patience, kindness, and a whole lot of heart. They keep our students safe, our routes running smoothly, and our community connected one mile (and one smile!) at a time.

Now it’s your turn to spread love! Help us shine a spotlight on these everyday heroes by sharing a message of appreciation. Let’s lift them up and celebrate the people who keep our district moving forward.
