PTMS April 26-30

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  This week will officially bring April to an end for the 2020-21 school year.  We want to remind all students to finish the school year strong and end on a positive note.  Below are useful strategies that you can use to help you be more successful with your academic learning. 

1-Continue to check PowerSchool to make sure your work is turned in and on time. 

2-Meet with your teachers during office hours.  We have seen many students improve their grades and understanding by meeting with their teachers in this small setting. 

3-Remain actively engaged in your classes and ask questions when you are unsure.  

4-Check your Google Classrooms and make sure you have turned in your work after you complete the assignment.

 PTMS Wildcats, 

  Last week was a great week at PTMS! We delivered our PRIDE Grams, Wawa gift cards, and balloons on Wednesday to our 100 Wildcat winners.  All of our Wildcats who were nominated received their PRIDE Gram in school and we mailed the rest to our virtual winners as a thank you for their hard work and who have continued to model their PRIDE!

  As we head into the 4th marking period, we want to remind all of our Wildcats to finish the school year strong.  All of your teachers are here to help you reach your maximum potential.  Remember to take advantage of your teacher's office hours.  This is a great time to meet with your teacher in a small setting and get extra help, guidance, or feedback.  Let's finish the school year strong!

 PTMS Wildcats,

  We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Tuesday will be the last day of the third marking period.  As we begin the fourth marking period, we want to encourage all of our Wildcats to finish this school year strong.  The 4th-marking period provides you with one final time to make a difference with your grades.  You can do it!  

  On Wendesday, our studnets will have a live assembly at 1:30pm to see the 100 winners for Waldo's Pride Grams.  These lucky winners will receive a Wawa Gift card, balloons, and their PRIDE Gram delivered to their house by a PTMS faculty member.

  We hope everyone enjoyed our 2nd Wildcat Wildness this school year.  Waldo wants to thank all of our competitors for their sportsmanship and hard work in all of the competitions.  He also wants to send a thank you to our Physical Education teachers, Mrs. Eberl, Mr. Carr, and Ms. Lower for their organization of the events, our MC Mrs. Bucolo, for our behind the scenes organizer/technician, Mrs. Kirschner-Stabile, and all of our teachers for helping our students throughout the events.  We look forward to our next event!!!!

  Speaking of our next event, we are in the process of preparing our WaWa gift cards, balloons, and P.R.I.D.E. Grams.  On Wednesday, April 14, we will be having our virtual assembly to select 100 students for showing their P.R.I.D.E. this school year to receive these awards.

 PTMS Wildcats,

   We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and the Spring weather!  We are proud to announce the successful implementation of "The Next Phase" at PTMS.  Our amazing teachers continued the high-level instruction and followed safety protocols to support our students and further continue their learning.  Our Wildcats did a great job of following the safety procedures and directions to keep everyone safe.  In addition, our students were excited to be in school 5-days a week with their friends!  Mr. Hudson had this to say about "The Next Phase" at PTMS, "Our students and teaching team did a great job in preparing and executing The Next Phase this past week.  I have never been more proud to be a part of this amazing school and district where we have the most dedicated staff.  I continue to be inspired by how hard everyone is working together."  We are looking forward to week two of "The Next Phase" this week at PTMS.  Just a reminder, all-virtual students should be tuning in daily to live lessons.  Also, for additional support, all PTMS Teachers have office hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1-3pm.  Wednesday is by teacher appointment.
