PRM School Rocker

Greetings PRM Families,

The 2025-26 school year is off and running! Our staff has been hard at work building relationships, teaching expectations and procedures, and providing access to high-quality, on-grade-level Montessori instruction. We are collecting baseline data to tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of each student. Thank you for being exceptional partners as we strive for outstanding student outcomes with our learners.

We are thrilled to share some remarkable academic growth outcomes with you. For the second consecutive year, we are projected to have a three-star (grade C) Ohio State Report Card rating in overall student achievement! Our consistent growth trends over the past four years have also led to our removal as an eligible EdChoice voucher school. This is a significant accomplishment, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to our teachers and support staff for their unwavering commitment to nurturing the growth of every student. While PRM is more than what the Ohio State Report Card says, we acknowledge that it is one indicator of the exceptional work we do every day. We are 'here for kids.' (Official Report Card coming soon.)

Our arrival and dismissal procedures have seen significant improvements since the start of the school year. We appreciate your adherence to our guidelines and procedures, which are designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of our students' entry into the building each morning. Please remember to establish a daily dismissal plan with your child's teacher and adhere to it. Any changes to dismissal due to appointments must be communicated in writing to the teacher by the morning of the day the change is needed. For safety reasons, please refrain from calling our office during dismissal to adjust your child's dismissal. Please note that there is no early dismissal after 1:30pm.

I am grateful for our excellent administrative team:

• Ms. Amber Simpson~ Principal
• Ms. Janice Pitts~ Assistant Principal (interim)
• Ms. Carla Cobbins~ Senior Support Specialist
• Mrs. Ciara Harper~ Senior Support Specialist
• Ms. Jazzmine Hughes~ Senior Support Specialist

Remember, we are all part of the same team. We encourage you to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have. Please check prmrocks.org for updates on school and community events. Your partnership is invaluable to us, and we are privileged to work with you!

Love,

Principal Simpson

Join us for the PRM PTO Meeting on Thursday, September 10, 2025, to learn about the Title I programming at PRM!

Congratulations to CPS Athletic Director and PRM Parent, Josh Hardin for being honored by the Cincinnati Bengals as a Hometown Hero! He is a PRM Hero, and we are so proud of him!

We must be consistent in acknowledging and enforcing our school uniform policy. Our uniform policy is liberal enough to include several options for families. All PRM Spirit Wear is considered part of the school uniform.

While we don't like to take time away from instruction to deal with uniforms. We must all be consistent to ensure this doesn't become a major issue during the school year.

Please see the policy below and in the PRM Student Handbook.

We are excited about the start of the 2025-26 school year. We have welcomed back many returning students and families, as well as welcomed many new students and their families. In September, we will complete our beginning-of-the-year assessments with Kindergartners by administering the iReady diagnostic on September 16 and 17 (Language) and September 24 and 25 (Math). Outdoor education will start the week of September 15 for Kindergarteners.

With the rest of the school, 3-6 students will be off on Monday, September 22, for a teacher professional development day. The first quarter parent-teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, September 25. Please read to your child daily and talk about what you read. It is vital for language development, early literacy, and so much more!

The students are off to a great start in our 6-9 classes. The Great Lessons are giving us all an opportunity to explore our universe, learn about how our beautiful Earth was formed, and pique our curiosity with experiments in the classrooms. September will be an exciting month for us as we embark on our first field trip to the Cincinnati Nature Center. This excellent field trip allows our students to explore nature, learn about plants and animals, and enjoy the outdoor nature scape with creative play. September also brings about our beginning-of-year assessments, including iReady in Reading and Math, and Acadience Reading. Our character trait for September is Responsibility. A selection of books will be read in class to promote learning about responsibility and foster open discussion opportunities among students. In language and math, students will begin working on nouns, capitalization, and grade-level math and geometry concepts. Parent-teacher conferences are on September 25. Here’s to a fabulous new school year!

Over the past few weeks, our 9-12 communities have been busy building strong classroom relationships, setting expectations, and reviewing school rules and procedures. Students have also been completing their beginning-of-year assessments. Families of 6th graders should have already received communication about the recent changes to the Walnut Hills Entrance Exam. Teachers will have assessment results ready to share during the first quarter conferences on September 25. More information about scheduling conferences will be sent home in the coming weeks. By now, you should have also received digital communication from your child’s homeroom teacher. If you have not, please take a moment to verify that your contact information is accurate in Focus so you don’t miss any critical updates. We are excited about the year ahead and all the learning and growth it will bring! As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher with any questions or concerns.

Art at PRM is all about expression, learning new skills, and problem-solving. In art class this year, students can expect to try new art mediums and discover their personal styles. The art room is always a bustling place. Helping organize materials, working with students, and setting up displays of student work are always appreciated. If you are interested in volunteering in the art room, you can sign up for available times here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F4BACA729A0FA7-58222538-artvolunteers#/

Volunteering in the art room requires a volunteer badge, which must be obtained from the CPS central office.

Hello everyone, I’m Coach Cash, and I'm passionate about sports and working with children. I am committed to helping students discover enjoyable physical activities and encouraging a lifelong appreciation for a healthy lifestyle. In gym class, we will participate in a variety of sports, including basketball and volleyball, as well as other physical activities, all of which promote teamwork.

Hey, old and new friends, it’s Mr. David, the amazing librarian here at PRM. For our new families and students, WELCOME!

Library is off to a great start this year. 9-12 is going to go on an adventure. Students are going to learn about traveling - booking flights, searching for places to stay, transportation, food, and culture as they explore the world and work with budgets to determine how they would spend their money on their vacation of a lifetime. We will be doing a lot of math this year as we work with exchange rates and distances - figuring out the differences between the traditional imperial measurements used in the United States and the metric system used abroad.

6-9 will be on a similar journey throughout the world, learning a great deal about geography and culture, but not quite to the same extent as their older counterparts.

Kindergarten will remain focused on learning to read with an emphasis on sight words and vocabulary.

The Harry Potter theme introduced last year was a great success. It is used as an incentive to get students to check out books and read for pleasure. This year, I have taken it a step further by having the older students use Fantastic Beasts cards to battle one another, and legendary items are hidden within books that come with great rewards. Younger students will be surprised to find chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans hidden within random picture and chapter books as well. If you are looking to help out, please feel free to check out this Wish List on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TY7X4UGSHMD0?ref_=wl_share

The library is an ever-growing and expanding entity, and I am always focused on keeping the library current. Below is my PRM Wish List on Amazon for anyone interested in purchasing new books. I am also constantly taking donations of older, gently used books if it’s time to thin out your child’s library at home. Feel free to drop those books off at the office or send them with your student at any time. The ones I cannot use directly in the PRM library will be placed in the free Book Nook, located in the foyer of the school's entrance.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/DYDG2II785NM?ref_=wl_share

If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at churchd@cpsboe.k12.oh.us.

Hi, I’m Michaela Smith, and I have loved getting to know all of our PRM students these last couple of weeks! Thank you to all students and families for being so welcoming and kind. This month in STEM, students in grades 6-9 and 9-12 will focus on what it means to be a Digital Citizen. Students will be able to recognize the responsibilities and opportunities for contributing to their digital communities, including making safe, legal, and ethical decisions using Artificial Intelligence. In Kindergarten, we will be focusing on engineering, using our STEM materials to become engineers ourselves. We are looking forward to a great month!

In Mrs. Wahl's music class, here is what students are learning:

Kindergarten: Steady beat and rhythm

6-9: Singing with correct pitch

9-12: Reading rhythms and composing rhythm patterns

For 9-12 students, information on the strings class and after-school band was already sent home in Wednesday folders. Please email the strings and band teachers with any questions you may have.

For 6-9 students, permission slips for Winter Choir will be sent home in mid-September. Winter Choir rehearsals will be after school on Tuesdays until 3:30 PM, starting on September 30. We will perform at Winterfest.

Stay tuned for information on Moana Jr. tryouts in October!

The Outdoor Education classes with Imago start on Monday, September 15! We are so excited to be back in the garden with classes to learn and grow outside. For any questions, please contact Zoe Vanasse, Imago's Director of Youth Education, at zvanasse@imagoearth.org.

PRM is so very fortunate to have two reading specialists this school year. Kait Metersky and Sarah Kleymeyer have been actively supporting teachers and students in grades K-6 with administering various beginning-of-year literacy screeners and assessments. All students in grades K-3 will take the Fall Benchmark Acadience assessment, which highlights areas of strength and weakness in foundational reading skills. Following Ohio’s Dyslexia Guidebook, all students in grades K-6 identified as "at risk" in reading will also complete a Developmental Spelling Assessment (DSA). Additionally, we are providing specialized lessons for all third-grade students to help them feel confident when taking the OST during the week of October 20th. Intervention groups will begin soon for students in grades 1-6 who require intensive additional reading instruction.

Are you looking for ways to enrich your child's literacy experience in the community?

Join reading specialist Sarah Kleymeyer at the Pleasant Ridge Public Library for a free hands-on workshop for parents and caregivers. We will discuss early signs of dyslexia, debunk myths, and practice hands-on methods to support your child's learning. Attendees will receive take-home kits filled with resources, toys, and books. http://bit.ly/47Yrdg1

Participate in Literacy Day at the Cincinnati Museum Center! Come meet local authors, enjoy story time, and discover literacy resources and more. Admission is free for members or included with Museum Admission. https://www.cincymuseum.org/literacy-day/

What a fantastic start to the school year! Our Back to School Bash and first weeks were filled with smiles, energy, and so much excitement for all the learning and adventures ahead. We’re so grateful to see our school community buzzing with joy, and we know this year will be one to remember.

We’re also looking forward to our very first PTO meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 10, from 6:00-7:00pm in the PRM Library, with the Foundation Meeting to follow right after – mark your calendars! The need for volunteers all around the school is more important than ever, and we’ll be looking for parents, grandparents, and even special friends to jump in and help. Plus, be on the lookout, we’ll soon be asking for help with our first Teacher Appreciation Chili Lunch. Together, we can make this year truly amazing, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful things it brings!

Need childcare for the meeting? We have you covered! Sign up now to reserve your spot: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfF1gV9z6Sdffb2_YtFTf3S0M7DxddZQKBPLh_oOpE0_JX27A/viewform. Questions can be sent to prmpto@gmail.com

Are you connected to the Room Parent for your student(s)? A PRM Room Parent is a parent volunteer who acts as the primary liaison between the teacher and the families in each classroom community and also helps communicate other ways for families to connect to the larger PRM community. Use the link below to let your Room Parent know how to best communicate with you so you don't miss any classroom-specific news or PRM events. https://forms.gle/g1ZWX2quEEf35YUK6 Reach out to Room Parent Champion, Jen Jarman, jenjarman@gmail.com, with any questions.

The Pleasant Ridge School Foundation (the "Foundation") is often called the "nonprofit arm of PRM" – but what does that really mean? In short, the Foundation enables PRM to accept tax-deductible donations and fundraise for the programs, resources, and initiatives that make PRM the exceptional school and community it is for all our students.

Because of the Foundation’s work (and your support), we can offer things like classroom grants for teachers, field trips, professional development, extracurriculars like the Sprint Sisters and Outdoor Explorers club, and even the new Staff Wellness Room. We also provide PTO with the funds to host community favorites like the Spring Fling and Staff Appreciation Week, and cover the costs to partner with Imago for our Outdoor Education program. We even cover the shuttles on Grandparents' Day! This year alone, we need to raise $65,000 to sustain these opportunities – and we’re also kicking off a major new initiative to improve the outdoor play spaces behind the school. It’s a big year ahead, and we’ll need all hands on deck! The first fundraiser of the year, the Fall Mum Sale, runs through September 17 – details can be found at www.prmrocks.org/flowers. Pick up your order on September 29 from 4:30-7:00pm at PRM.

Want to help make all this happen? The Foundation is powered by volunteers – parents, guardians, staff, and neighbors (like you) – all working together to strengthen our school community. Join us! The Foundation meets in person on the second Wednesday of each month (right after PTO) in the PRM Library. The first meeting will be at 7:00pm on Wednesday, September 10, in the PRM Library. Please reach out to prsfpres@gmail.com with any questions or to learn more about becoming a Foundation member or an event champion.

The Instructional Leadership Team is designed to share in the instructional decisions to improve student achievement at PRM. The ILT is composed of at least 60% teachers. A Team-Leader represents each team of teachers. The principal, two non-teaching staff members, and two parents also serve on ILT. Our parent reps on ILT this school year are David Woerner and Heather Willins. During the school year, the ILT makes decisions about issues that impact instruction and events that occur during the school day, such as proposed changes to school programming or updates to the school calendar. The ILT typically meets on the first and third Monday of the month at 2:45pm at PRM.

The LSDMC is the primary governing body of our school and is composed of four major constituency groups: teachers, non-teaching staff, including the principal, community members, and parents/guardians. Each group has equal representation and an equal voice in the decision-making process. The LSDMC sets goals, develops plans for meeting those goals, and monitors progress toward goal attainment by conducting mid-year and end-of-year assessments. The LSDMC makes school budget decisions, submits changes in the school’s programming, and would even participate in the selection of the principal when needed.

Our parent reps on LSDMC this year are Jen Fisher, Mike Burke, and Beth Sullivan.

This month’s Local School Decision Making Committee meeting will be held at PRM, in the library, on Wednesday, September 10, from 3:00-4:00pm.

PRM Boosters works to ensure that all athletes are given the chance to participate in an extra-curricular team. We offer a variety of sports throughout the school year and also support our Brain Bowl team. Fall sports are already in full swing – our four volleyball teams have started league play, which runs through mid-October, while our 12 soccer teams kick off their seasons this weekend, September 6-7. Boosters also support a tennis opportunity through the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation every Saturday morning. And our littlest Roadrunners (in preschool and kindergarten) will begin learning the basics of soccer starting in mid-September, for 4 consecutive weeks.

Please note that on Friday, September 19, at noon, we will open our basketball registration for players in grades 2-6. Teams will “sell out” before we reach the registration deadline of Sunday, October 5. To be added to a waitlist for a sold-out team, send an email with the player’s name, grade, birthday, and gender to prmathletics@gmail.com.

Our first Booster Meeting of the year will be on Thursday, September 25, at 7:30pm at Wiseguys Lounge (upstairs Goodfellas), and anyone with an interest in athletics is invited. Watch for any updates on prmrocks.org/athletics. Go Roadrunners!

Cub Scouts: Ready for an adventure? Join Cub Scout Pack 25 for outdoor adventures, volunteering, camping, and more. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, either at PRM or nearby parks. Cub Scouts kicks off on September 4th with a trail hike in French Park, starting at the shelter. In September and October, Pack 25 will meet as Dens to work on our Adventures and hold our annual Halloween Fun Night in the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church parking lot. Any questions can be directed to cubpack25prm@gmail.com
