Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you for a Wonderful Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!
On behalf of the teachers and staff here at the middle school, we want to say thank you for all of your generosity and kindness shown towards our staff this week. The PTO, Board of Education, and District Administration showed much love and admiration for everything the staff does for our students. The nice notes, emails, and creative thanks that were given to staff meant so much to so many people. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge our amazing staff this week!

Tiger Tipline
While it is always best to talk directly to a staff member, we understand that sometimes this can be uncomfortable or difficult for students or parents. At Pleasantdale Middle School, we offer the Tiger Tipline as an anonymous tool for reporting unsafe, uncomfortable, or unkind behaviors and situations. We explicitly teach the students that if they ever see something or hear something that makes them feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or is unkind, either online or in person, they should tell a “trusted adult” which could be parents, school personnel, or other adults in their lives. The Tiger Tipline can be accessed here and we will post the link in Schoology and create a shortcut to the link on the student devices for easy access.
Dates for the Year
If you are like me, you want to know the dates for the year as far in advance as possible. As long as you understand that something may change due to unforeseen circumstances, I’d like to provide you access to the dates we’ve planned for the year (many of which are in the paper calendar you received in the mail). To access the middle school calendar dates, please click here.
