The Panther Prowl

The mission of Edythe J. Hayes Middle School is to engage all learners in a safe and nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence and develops responsible, respectful leaders and citizens

MAP testing

Our recent MAP testing sessions were a resounding success. We successfully administered both math and reading assessments to a large number of students, despite logistical challenges. The exceptional adaptability and cooperation of our students and staff were instrumental in ensuring a smooth testing experience. We commend our students for their hard work and dedication.

If your child was unable to complete their MAP reading or math assessment last week, they will be scheduled for testing this week to ensure full participation

Panther Store Help

We’ve been thrilled to see an increase in positive behavior among our students. To recognize their efforts, we've distributed over 3,000 eBucks to students this year. These eBucks can be used to purchase rewards at our EJH Panther Store.

While we’ve invested significantly in the store, we're seeking donations to further expand our offerings. If you'd like to support our students' positive behavior and help stock the Panther Store, please consider making a donation (see link below). Your generosity will go a long way in rewarding our students for their hard work

Math, Science, and Technology Center (MSTC) program at PLD (MSTC) will be hosting an informational Open House on Wednesday, September 25th from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Dunbar Auditorium.

The MSTC program is an ideal program for students that are identified as gifted in Math and/or Science and are interested in accelerated classes in Math, Science, and Computer Science; along with a mentorship and independent research project with an active researcher their junior and senior year.

Students should have completed Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade. Students apply in their 8 th or 9 th grade year.

They have updated their admissions process this year. Students will be ranked for available spots based on the following criteria:

• Gifted identifications (math and/or science)

• MAP math scores (or equivalent achievement test data) from 8 th or 9 th grade

• Students without access to MAP tests will take the MSTC admissions test

• Current math class

The major changes are that they will no longer require already identified students to take the IOWA tests, only students needing to be identified will have to take those tests. The admissions test will only be for students that do not have access to MAP math tests. Testing for GT identification and the MSTC admissions test will be during the district testing window in November, 2024.

• Open House Wednesday, September 25th from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Dunbar Auditorium.
