PAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Page Middle Families,

Tomorrow is a late start and Wednesday is an early release. Traffic is always unusual on these days. Typically on early release Wednesdays many bus routes will run late.

Thanks to all our families that were able to make Open House. We hope you found it informative. When there are whole school events or even several different activities happening on the same night parking will fill up. Page High is our overflow parking and you can use the crosswalk to safely cross the street.

Fall sports are in full swing and our teams are performing well. Our annual Tailgate is on September 3rd. This is a fun even for families. Please see the info in this newsletter for details.

Finally, we ask that you donate for school supplies. We purchase the supplies your child needs so you don't have to go hunt them down. We can buy in bulk cheaper than you can individually and the supplies are always on hand. We only ask you supply your child with notebook paper and pens and pencils. Please see the QR code later in the newsletter to donate.

Go Panthers!

Dr. Eric Lifsey

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.

Dropping off forgotten items for students is strongly discouraged, but if necessary, all items should be in the front office by 10:15 a.m., ESPECIALLY LUNCHES. If an item is not dropped off before that time, the student may not receive it until the end of the day.

Also, no outside food is allowed in the building. Parents/students may not bring in food from Sonic, Chick-fil-A, Starbuck's, etc.

Thank you for understanding!

STUDENTS MUST BRING CHARGED CHROMEBOOKS TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. IF THEY NEED TO CHECK ONE OUT FROM THE LIBRARY, THEY WILL RECEIVE A STRIKE. THREE STRIKES

EQUALS BEFORE SCHOOL DETENTION ON THE NEXT LATE START DAY.

NO BUS PASSES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. Per direction from the WCS Transportation Department, we CANNOT write bus passes for students to ride a bus other than their own. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
