PTMS April 15-19

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope that everyone had a great weekend.  We are now in the final marking period for the 2023-2024 school year.  Wildcats, make sure you finish strong with your academics and with your behavior.  The end of the year provides a lot of activities, trips, and celebrations.  Our goal is to have all of you be a part of these special events.  We have a lot to look forward to during the final marking period, if you need any support let us know.    

This week on Friday, April 19th PTMS will welcome our future Wildcats to our school.  During the 4th-grade visit, students will be provided tours, an overview of our after-school clubs/activities, events that are held throughout the school year, and what to expect when they officially become a Wildcat in September.

PTMS April 8-12

PTMS Wildcats,

We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  This week PTMS has a lot going on as we head into the final week of the third marking period.  

On Monday, all students will be given Solar Eclipse viewing glasses to view the expected Solar Eclipse.  Due to the timing of our dismissal and the expected maximum viewing window between 3-3:30pm, we will provide students with their glasses and instructions so this experience can be maximized once they arrive home from school.  Here is the link to see how the eclipse will progress throughout the timeframe.  

On Wednesday, PTMS will welcome, The Illusion Maker.  The assembly will be for our 5th-grade students presenting the "True or False" Magical Environmental Quiz Show!  We look forward to seeing some of the tricks from our magician and teaching our youth about the importance of recycling.  

Thursday, April 11 marks the end of the third marking period for the 2023-24 school year.  Wildcats, be sure that everything has been turned in and that you are keeping up with your academics.  As we head into the final marking period, use this time to look at your overall grade average and start to plan for a strong finish to the academic school year.

PTMS Wildcats,

We hope that everyone enjoyed their Spring Break.  As we head into the final stretch of the 2023-24 school year, we want to remind all of our Wildcats about the great activities and celebrations to close out the school year.  We still have one more Wildcat Wildness, Field Day, Renaissance activities, class trips, and more!  You must remain off the restricted list due to behavioral infractions to attend these great events.  We are all here to see each of you cross the finish line so continue to make positive choices, complete your classwork, and communicate with the adults in the building if you need any support.  We are all in this together!

We hope that you all enjoyed your weekend.  This week is a shortened 4-day week for students as the district will be closed on Friday, March 8th for our county-wide in-service.  Our 8th-grade students will have an opportunity this week to meet with the high school counselors for assistance with final course selection as they prepare for the next phase in their educational journey.
