Message From Leadership

Hello Eagle Families,

We have another exciting and busy week ahead at PGM to close out October! As we move further into Quarter 2, our students continue to show great dedication both in the classroom and through our extracurricular activities.

Our second athletic season is in full swing! Volleyball and Flag Football have officially begun. We invite our entire Eagle family to come out, wear your school colors, and cheer on our student-athletes. Let’s show our PGM pride.

We are excited to celebrate the academic achievements of our Quarter 1 Honor Roll students this week! Invitations were set home last week. Please remember that all ceremonies will be held at CPAC, starting promptly at 8:00AM each morning. At the conclusion of each ceremony, students may walk back over to campus through the walker gates to begin their school day.

As we continue to focus on Accountability as one of our essential skills in building an “A” culture, we are asking every Eagle to take full ownership of their daily actions and choices. Whether it is wearing their school ID badges at all times, keeping up with classwork, or arriving to every class on time to maximize learning and limit disruptions, personal responsibility is essential. Thank you for partnering with us at home to reinforce that holding oneself accountable for these daily expectations is the true foundation for long-term success. 

We hope each student has kicked off the new quarter with a renewed academic focus. However, if your student is in need of extra support, our after-school tutoring continues from 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM for students needing extra help in ELA, Math, Science, or Social Studies. Late bus transportation is available. Please reach out to your student’s teachers if you have any specific concerns or grade related questions. 

To keep you informed of your student’s academic standing, we have launched a new automated notification system within Focus. You will now receive an email alert if your student's grade in any course drops below a "C" (into D or F status). We hope this tool helps families catch and resolve academic gaps early!

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community. 

Have a wonderful week!
