September 27-October 1

 PTMS Wildcats,

    We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  This past week, our Wildcats finished taking the NJ Start Strong assessment.  PTMS teachers used this data and our NWEA Map data to begin forming our RTI Math and ELA groups.  We will begin working with the identified students this week during our Thrive Time.  Also, on Friday, students were provided with permission slips to sign up for our 2021-22 clubs.  We look forward to having our Wildcats sign up for the various clubs provided for this school year!  All clubs will begin the week of October 4.  

  Parents and Guardians- we are in need of your help!  There are several inappropriate challenges going around on Tik Tok that encourage students across the country to take part.  These challenges encourage students to vandelize bathrooms, pull students down by their books bags, and steal items from school.  We have addressed this with our student body to avoid this from happening in our school.  However, we are asking parents to please discuss these various challenges with your student(s) to avoid anyone getting hurt or have to face discipline for their actions.  Thank you in advance for your continued support.

 PTMS Wildcats, 

   We have finished our first full week of the 2021-22 school year.  Our Wildcats completed their NWEA Map beginning of the year assessment for reading and mathematics.  We will begin using the data from these assessments to create our RTI groups as well as inform classroom instruction.  Also, our Wildcats are starting to earn Green tickets from our staff for following our PRIDE character traits. (Patience, Respect, Integrity, Diligence, Empathy)  Wildcats with these tickets can enter into various drawings for prizes that take place throughout each month!

PTMS September 13-17

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend and the beautiful weather!  We have completed our first week of school for the 2021-22 school year.  This past week our Wildcats were able to meet their teachers and reconnect with some of their friends.  Our teachers took the first 4-days to review the structure of their class, rules, expectations, began building positive relationships with students, and provided students with an overview of how to be successful in their classes!  On Friday, Mr. Hudson conducted grade level assemblies to review school-wide rules, procedures, expectations, and ways to get involved with the many different programs/activities PTMS has to offer this school year.  If the first 4-days are any indication of the type of school year we are going to have, then this year will be an amazing school year!  Keep up the great work Wildcats!
