PTMS May 4-May 8

PTMS Wildcats,
    We hope that everyone was able to enjoy our first "Feel Good Friday."  To start this week we want to begin by saying "Happy Teacher Appreciation Week" to the entire PTMS staff.  It is unfortunate that we will not be able to celebrate in person.  However, this did not stop us from working together to show our gratitude for your hard work.  Below is a video that we created to show our appreciation.  We hope that everyone has a great week and continues to stay safe.  We are in this together!

PTMS April 27-May 1

PTMS Wildcats,
    We hope everyone has a great weekend and were able to get outside for some fresh air.  This past week we celebrated Administrative Professional Day on Wednesday for Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Bucolo.  PTMS thanks both of these ladies for everything they continue to do for our school.  We also had some students demonstrate their creative talents with some of the STEM activities, art activities, and more this past week.  See some of the creations from our Wildcats below.  It is hard to believe that this Friday will be the first day of May.  As excitement comes with the "Cinco De Mayo," please check out the virtual tour below.  Also, this Friday will mark our district's first "Feel Good Friday."  Below is a summary of this day as stated in Dr. Hoopes's message.  

Feel Good Friday: Our district is supporting and encouraging remote learning planning and professional development days as well as time to step away from devices to catch up on various tasks for students and teachers. No new learning activities will be pushed out to students on Fridays. The focus of this day for students will be time to work on projects, assignments, or optional activities that have been provided throughout the week. It is also time for students to step away from their screens if their work is completed, or they are able to meet assignment deadlines. The important note for this day is that no new learning activities will be pushed out to students on this day. The focus of this time for our staff will be to ensure continued alignment of instruction and continuity of instructional experiences for learners. Teachers will be engaged in their continued work to support opportunities to meet remote learning goals for our students.

PTMS April 20-24

PTMS Wildcats,
     We had a short return from our spring break last week.  However, that did not stop our students and teachers from resuming our virtual E-learning lessons.  This upcoming week is a full week and we are looking to working with our students.  As a school, we would like to continue to say, "Thank you" to our community partners during this time.  Having your continued help and support has made this process a lot smoother for our students.  We look forward to continuing to work together to help each of our Wildcats Thrive in our E-learning environment.  Let's have a great week!

PTMS April 15-17

PTMS Wildcats,
  We hope everyone is enjoying their spring break.  Last week, PTMS participated in our first ever Virtual Spirit Week prior to our spring break.  See some of our PTMS students and staff pets, talents, and spirit wear in the photos below.  This upcoming week is a short week as we only have school Wednesday, April 15-Friday, April 17.  We look forward to seeing our Wildcats in a few days.  We hope that you enjoy the last couple of days of your break.  Stay healthy and safe!   

PTMS April 6-10

PTMS Wildcats,
  This week is short with only having Monday, Tuesday, and a half-day on Wednesday.  Parents and guardians, thank you again for continuing to work collaboratively with us during this time.  We know this can be stressful and challenging at times, however, we are grateful to be working side-by-side as we continue to enhance our students' growth.  If you come across a challenge, please reach out to your child's teacher or the school so we can try to assist you.       


On behalf of the PTMS Staff, we want to wish everyone a relaxing Spring Break.  We miss you and look forward to working with you again next Wednesday, April 15.

PTMS Wildcats,
  We hope you all enjoyed your weekend and continue to connect with us through our E-Learning.  Our teachers are working very hard to create interactive lessons to challenge and engage you while having some fun!  This past week we saw teachers swimming with Dori, students showcasing their artwork through virtual drawings, Zoom S.T.E.M. Poster Party highlights, teachers crashing into another teacher's learning session, and more!  We may be going through a challenging time, however, PTMS staff and students continue to show their P.R.I.D.E. during our E-Learning transition.

Stay tuned for our future Virtual Spirit Week!

PTMS March 23-27

PTMS Wildcats,
  This week was one of a kind due to our global epidemic.  As we continue to work together through this new way of learning and living, we appreciate everyone's hard work, flexibility, and communication.  Students, staff, and parents are learning and collaborating together on how to adapt to school from home and daily life.  This has provided numerous opportunities for innovation from our staff using multiple resources to meet the needs of our learners.  In addition, we have seen innovation from our parents and students as they continue to create their work and learning spaces around their homes.  We look forward to working together this week as we continue our E-learning.  Please make sure to take a walk, run, brain break, etc. as a way to break up your day.  We will get through this Wildcats!  Your PTMS family misses you!
