Message From Leadership

Hello Eagle Families,

Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful and restful Easter weekend. It is a pleasure to have our students back on campus tomorrow April 6th, and I am looking forward to a productive week of learning.

I want to extend a sincere thank you to our families for your support during our Writing Assessment last week. Our students did a fantastic job of remaining attentive to the task, and our staff did an exceptional job ensuring a focused, well-managed testing environment. It was wonderful to see our students show such respect for their peers and for the importance of the assessment process.

With this milestone behind us, we are now looking ahead with confidence to the PM3 testing that will begin next month. I am incredibly excited to see our students showcase the progress they have made throughout this year, and I have no doubt they will continue to rise to the challenge.

As we enter this final phase of the school year, our calendar is quickly filling up with end-of-year events, banquets, and special moments. Particularly for our 8th grade students as they prepare for their transition to high school. These are significant events and we want to ensure that no one misses out on making these lasting memories. Please be sure you are checking our school website and calendar regularly. Also, keep a close eye on school notifications, as we will be sending out specific details regarding ticket sales, permission slips, and event protocols in the coming weeks.

We are committed to finishing this year with the same academic rigor and high expectations we started with, while also ensuring we celebrate the growth and achievements of our students. Our quest to make PGM an “A” school is still our mission. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership!
