PTMS September 26-30

 PTMS Wildcats,

   We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Last week, our Wilcats took their New Jersey Start Strong Assessment in Language Arts and Math in grade 5-8.  Our 6th-grade students also completed the Science assessment.  This data along with our NWEA Map data will be used to help drive instruction with our students going forward.  Our Wildcats did a great job and we thank them for their hard work!  

Our after school clubs start this week at PTMS.  We had several clubs develop a waiting list due to the number of student sign-ups.  Any student on the waiting list received a letter indicating this information.  If there are any openings in the future, we will begin to fill the spots using our waitlist.  We look forward to working with our Wildcats this week in the start of the PTMS after-school clubs!

 PTMS Wildcats,

     We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Our Wildcats took their Math and Language Arts NWEA Map Test this past week.  Our RTI Data Team began analyzing the results and creating groups for students who need additional support in Math and Language Arts.  We look to finalize groups next week and start working with our groups of students on Monday, September 26.    

    Club sign-ups are available in the cafeteria for our 2022-23 after-school clubs.  All clubs have a limit to the number of participants.  Once the club is full, we will create a waiting list and add students as spots open.  Each student on the waiting list will receive a letter so they are aware.  We look forward to another successful year of after-school clubs at PTMS.

PTMS September 12-16

PTMS Wildcats,

We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend!  Our first week of school was a huge success!  The positive energy in the building was contagious.  Students and teachers were able to reconnect after our summer break.  Also, our students were able to meet their new teachers, learn about each class, and begin building positive relationships with their peers and teachers.  We are looking forward to continuing this positive momentum throughout the school year!  

Also, this past week, each grade level had an assembly outlining rules and procedures around the school.  Our Wildcats were also informed of special events, clubs, and other activities that will take place throughout the school year. 

 This year at PTMS we introduced a new arrival and dismissal procedure to keep everyone safe.  The new process has kept every car off of the road and has allowed all of our Wildcats to safely enter as well as leave school.  We thank all of our parents and guardians for your support during these busy times in our day.

PTMS Wildcats,

We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Last week was a great week at PTMS with a lot of excitement.  We completed our last Resaniisance giveaway for the year.  Students were able to place their well-earned tickets into drawings to win gift cards, PTMS spirit wear, Air Pods, a Nintendo Switch Console, and more!  Congratulations to all of our student winners!  We also had our yearly visit from Kona Ice Truck.  Each student and staff member were able to enjoy water ice and flavor it to their liking!  Our 7th-grade was also paid a visit from Mr. Softie as a class celebration.  

The week ended with our 8th-grade students having their award ceremony, an 8th-grade breakfast (We thank all of the parents and guardians for their support of this great event!), and an amazing Stepping-Up Ceremony.  Congratulations to all of the students in the PTMS 8th-Grade Class of 2022! 

This week will be the final chapter of the 2021-22 school year.  However, we are going to have several great events take place.  We will be having our final Wildcat Wildness event of the school year.  We look forward to seeing all of our Wildcats compete in some fun activities!  Our grades 5-7 students will also have their end fo the year award ceremonies and be acknowledged for their achievements!  

On behalf of everyone at PTMS, we thank all of our parents and guardians for your support during the 2021-22 school year.  Have a safe and happy summer!

 PTMS Wildcats,

     We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Last week, our school had a lot of events and experiences for our Wildcats!  On Monday, our Wildcats had Field Day which had 11 stations that consisted of STEM, Art, games, and more!  Our 8th-grade students went to the high school to gather information on their summer reading project and for 9th-grade orientation.  Also, the 8th-grade students enjoyed their trip to Funplex and went on rides and played games!  On Friday, our 5th-grade enjoyed their trip to the Wetlands Institute and enjoyed a hands-on experience learning about the various animals!  All of us at PTMS thoroughly enjoyed our class trips this year with our students and parent chaperones!  We thank all of our parents/guardians who were able to attend!  

     This week, we are looking forward to seeing our PTMS class of 2022 enjoy their Ceremony as they all end their middle school career!  We will also have our APSHS Seniors walk through our building one more time as a final farewell to our district!  Congratualtions to all of our graduates!

 PTMS Wildcats, 

     We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Last week, our National Junior Honor Society and Student Council students went on their trip to Dave and Busters!  Our students and staff had a lot of fun playing games and earning tickets.  Our Wildcats came back with a lot of items from the game store.  

  This week will be the final 5-day week for the 2021-22 school year.  Grade 8 students will visit the high school to take tours, hear from teachers, students, and administration, and be provided an overview of student life as a future high school student.  Our grade 5 and 8 students will take their class trips this week.  We look forward to seeing these great events continue to take place as the school year comes to and end.

PTMS May 31-June 3

 PTMS Wildcats,

    We hope that everyone enjoyed their extended weekend!  Last week we had a lot of excitement at PTMS and many of our Wildcats took part in some exciting trips.  Our 7th-grade was able to attend their class trip to Philadlpehia.  The trip featured some site visits around the city and concluded with all of the students, teachers, and chaperones taking a boat ride on the Spririt of Philadelphia for a lunch and dance party. PTMS Renaisance student winners went on a bowling trip and were able to showcase their bowling skills.  The 8th-grade class was introduced to high school sports and what steps to take in order to become a member for one of the teams.  

In addition, the PTMS Academic League Team came in second place at the Salem County Finals.  Great job to the students who showcased their academic talents!  Also, our PTMS Drama Club was able to put on their long awaited performance of The Wizard of Oz for two nights.  Our students performers did an outstanding job of bringing Kansas to PTMS.
