ATTENDANCE: Parents or legal guardians may submit notes for students to be excused for the first five (5) absences per semester, for any reason. To be excused, notes must be provided by the parent or legal guardian and received by the school within five (5) school days of the absence. After five (5) days of total absences per semester, official documentation, such as a medical note, should be submitted in order for the absence to be excused. Please submit absence notes to the front office or to the Attendance Secretary, Connie Lamb, at constance.lamb@wcs.edu. Attendance may be monitored in Skyward from the Parent Access Account.

EXTENDEND ABSENCES: If your child is going to be absent for several days, for sickness, sports, travel, etc., PLEASE CONTACT THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE PRIOR TO THE STUDENT BEING GONE. Contacting the child's Homeroom teacher will not automatically excuse the absences. Some absences must be pre-approved by Dr. Lifsey to be excused.

The Page Middle Open House will be held Wednesday, August 19th, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. This is a time for parents to follow their children's daily schedules and hear about what's going on in the classrooms. Due to space limitations, please leave children at home if possible.

*You will need to know your child's Home Room teacher, as you will be starting the evening in that classroom.

Members of the Page Middle 6th grade team are hosting a parent informational meeting for all 6th grade parents on Tuesday, September 1, at 6:00 p.m. in the PMS Auditorium.

Now that our 6th graders have been in middle school for a few weeks, many parents are wondering ..... Now What?

This presentation will help answer the questions:

• How do I know what is happening during school?
• What questions should I ask my child to best understand what they need?
• What do I need to know to help my child have a positive middle school experience?

It has been a wonderful start to the school year and we appreciate all of the support you have provided for us and your student.

WHAT: Panther Party is our main fundraiser for our Positive Behavior Program here at Page Middle School. All proceeds go to fund our prizes/ operations for our Panther Prize Drawings and Panther Store. There will be games, goodie shuffle, movie room, karaoke, crafts, salon room and more!!

WHEN: Panther Party is set for September 25, 2026. The time will be from after school until 6:00 pm. The cost is $40 for pizza, drink, and a dish of Culver’s ice cream. There will also be other concessions available for sale during the party!!

WHO: You! There will be a limited amount of tickets sold** Information about Ticket Sales will be out soon!… Be on the Look Out! Until then remind your Panther to be Polite, Prepared and Prompt!!

*This is an event for Page Middle School students only.

ALL ATHLETIC TRYOUT INFORMATION IS POSTED ON THE PAGE MIDDLE WEBSITE, AND FORMS CAN BE PICKED UP OUTSIDE THE PMS GYM.
