PTMS December 21-23

 PTMS Wildcats,

  As you are aware, our district has announced going virtual learning until Friday, January 15.  Each student has been emailed their schedule.  We have also emailed each parent/guardian a copy of their child's schedule.  We encourage all of our Wildcats to be in a place that he/she can concentrate on their teacher and work.  Students are expected to be at each live session.  As a reminder, every teacher will have live office hours after each day of live instruction concludes.  Students are encouraged to take advantage of the extra support/help.  We have seen many students improve their assignment grades and overall grades for their class by using this time with their teacher.  This week may be a short one so let's make the most of it!  On behalf of all of the faculty at PTMS, we wish everyone a safe holiday and a Happy New Year!  We look forward to continuing this journey together in 2021!

 PTMS Wildcats,

  It is hard to believe that there are 8 school-days until our Winter Break!  With that in mind, be sure to get all of your work submitted in each of your classes.  Also, your teachers are hosting live lessons daily that you are expected to be in attendance.  If you are unsure of the time, check with your teacher.  Being present for your lessons will increase your success with your work!  If you have not yet joined your second-trimester Exploratory Google Classroom, you need to join ASAP.  This will help you stay on top of your work and not fall behind.    

Check out the slideshow below to see Mrs. Botto's work with our newly certified Peer Mentors, Virtual Winter Concert by our Drama Club, our STEM student projects, and our holiday stories from our virtual library.

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Break.  It is hard to believe that we are entering December this week.  PTMS welcomes Cohort A to school this week on Monday and Tuesday, Cohort B on Thursday and Friday, and Cohort D on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Reminder, that teachers are holding live sessions in the afternoon on days that you are not physically in PTMS.  Each Wednesday teachers will still have office hours from 1-3pm.  Make sure to reach out to your teachers as this can be time used to improve your grade, complete work, receive extra help, etc.      

Check out this year's Talent Show.  Although we could not do our final production in-person, this did not stop Mrs. Brown and our students from displaying their talents.  Thank you to Mrs. Brown and our Talented Wildcats for putting together such an amazing production.  We hope everyone enjoys it!    

Here is the link to this year's show.

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope everyone had a great weekend.  We are very fortunate to have such pleasant weather in the middle of November.  Hopefully, you were able to get outside and make the most of it.  This week PTMS will have all early dismissal days per the district schedule.  Monday and Tuesday will be for parent/teacher conferences and Wednesday will be for Thanksgiving Break.  As a reminder, our faculty will have office hours on Wednesday, November 25, 10-12pm.  Be sure to utilize this time for additional support in your classes.      

Last Thursday, our region of the state was changed to "Orange-High Risk" for Covid 19.  Due to this change, PTMS will be implementing our hybrid schedule with a 12:15pm dismissal time.  We will be sending more information this week on how instruction will be delivered to all of our students.  We thank everyone for their patience as we make this transition.
