Good morning PJMS community,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Palmer Middle Junior School is in the process of bringing back our 8th Grade Promotion ceremony, a special event designed to honor and celebrate the hard work and achievements of our students during their middle school years.

This ceremony will be a wonderful opportunity to recognize the dedication and grit our students have demonstrated. We believe that such milestones deserve to be celebrated as they mark an important transition in your child's educational journey.

As we prepare for this significant event, we want to remind you of our high expectations at Palmer Middle. To ensure the promotion ceremony reflects the academic achievements of our students, only those who are passing all of their classes will be eligible to participate. This requirement underscores the importance of academic responsibility and commitment to excellence.

We understand the significance of this milestone and are committed to supporting every student in their efforts to meet these expectations. More details about the 8th Grade Promotion ceremony, including the date, time, and specific guidelines, will be shared with you in the coming weeks.

We look forward to celebrating this special occasion with our students and their families, and to acknowledge the hard work and accomplishments that make us all proud to be part of the PJMS community. Stay tuned for more information about this event!

Wrestling, NYO & Volleyball are our current sports. Current Semester 2 clubs are: Art, Chess, D&D, Ham Radio, Magic the Gathering, Marksmanship, Walking, weightlifting, BOB & Study Hall. If your student wants to participate in an afterschool club, they can pick up a blue club paper from the office to fill out and you can pay $20 in School Pay.

Please be safe on icy roads!
