PBMS Vision

PBMS strives to be a place where students want to come to school, parents want to send their children and staff want to come to work.

Message from the Principal

Welcome back students and families! I hope you enjoyed your summer and capture a few more memories before school starts. I am looking forward to meeting new students at orientation and seeing familiar faces on the first day of school.

We are continuing our 8 period A/B schedule from 8:00am-2:45pm based on feedback from families, students and teachers. We did eliminate the "C" day with all 8 classes in one modified day. However, we are now required to have a weekly modified day. Our staff & parent committee, the Site Governance Team, voted to have our modified days on Fridays following the A/B schedule. Students will be released at 2:05 or 40 minutes early so that the whole staff can work together.

Schedules for all students will be ready on Tuesday, August 6. New students, including 6th graders, will get their schedule at the Orientation, Tuesday, August 6 from 9:00-12:30. Returning students can find their schedule in PowerSchool Tuesday afternoon. Any access to schedules a student may find using a different program right now is not accurate. The counselors are working on finalizing schedules for the Tuesday release. If you find errors please email your counselor.
