Good morning PJMS families!

Can you believe this week is Halloween and Friday is November 1st? The school year is flying by and we are already into Quarter 2! Please continue to stay on top of your students grades and encourage them to turn assignments in and get their iReady completed each week. Thursday is our Halloween dance! Wrist bands to attend the dance are $2 and will be available to purchase during A & B lunches. We will have the Snack Shack stocked and ready for selling sweet treats as well as some savory options, so send your kids in with a few dollars for a treat! Students are welcome to dress up, but please make sure they do not bring full face masks or weapons of any kind with their costumes.

Did you know that you can email the school with absences, messages for your student, or any other communication, through our building email pjm@matsuk12.us? Multiple staff members check it throughout the day and take care of requests. If your student needs a bus pass, you can go to our website at Home - Palmer Jr Middle School (matsuk12.us) and scroll down to "Latest News" and find "PJMS Bus Pass". Click on the bus pass and it will take you to our Google Doc that staff will also check throughout the day. PLEASE make your request by 1:30, to give us time to get it to your student! Both are an easy and efficient way to get a hold of someone for something that isn't super time sensitive. Currently, the clubs we are offering are Ham Radio, Walking club, Dungeons and Dragons, Battle of the Books, Weightlifting and Marksmanship Clubs. Our Study Hall is free again this year. Current sports are 7&8 basketball, as well as C-Team basketball.
