PMS Week Ahead Messages
The Week Ahead May 9, 2025
With only 14 days of school left for the 24-25 school year, your kiddos are still showing up strong! Shout out to our 7th graders who knocked the Civics end-of-course exam out of the park today, demonstrating double digit gains based on preliminary data! Staying focused on academics is key right now, most especially for our 8th graders who need to be passing all core content areas in order to promote to high school on time and avoid summer school. Please check on your child’s progress today!
The Week Ahead May 2, 2025
Next week we are celebrating Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Please take a moment to reach out to a staff member who has positively impacted your child throughout their time at Pasco Middle.

Our final round of state testing begins next Thursday with 8th grade taking the ELA FAST Assessment. 7th grade will take the same assessment on Friday. Please assist your child’s success on all upcoming testing dates by ensuring they are well-rested, have eaten breakfast, and are present and on-time to school so that they can complete the task with their regular group of classmates.

The Week Ahead April 17, 2025
We have received official word that the road closures assisting with the securing of our campus will begin May 1st. Please take a look at the map included in the Pirate Press for awareness of where the roads will be closed from 6:15am to 2:00pm, as well as where the walker and car rider entry gate is. We anticipate that drop-off and pick up traffic will be challenging for a while as we get acclimated to the change, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we learn the new routine together. It is all in the interest of student and staff safety.
The Week Ahead April 11, 2025
This is just another reminder the map in the Pirate Press shows where the roads will be closed and the alternative routes that can be taken. Closures will go into effect in the coming few weeks.
