Students in Mrs. Parton's class serve coffee and treats to the teachers to raise money for charity. Over the years, donations have been made to Pella Food Pantry, Marion County Humane Society, Launching Arrows, Pella Crossroads and more!

Student computers and Google accounts will be left at Pella Middle School and turned off over break. We hope the students can use this time to disconnect from their screens and accounts, and make time to spend with those who love them the most.

Is my Student Really Sick?

If you receive a text or email from your student during the school day that he/she is sick, our request is that you ask your student if he/she has spoken to Mrs. Craig, our nurse. We would like Mrs. Craig to check your students, and then she will let you know if they are not well enough to be at school. Thank you!
