Good evening Wildcat Families!
We had a great abbreviated first week! We are welcoming two new science teachers this week, Ms. Taft and Mr. Turnbull! We are still registering a multitude of new families. We are incredibly excited about the wonderful students that you have sent to PBMS.
Our 8th and 7th grade students took part in our Expectations assemblies last week and our 6th grade students will receive the same message on Monday. After our final presentation, the presentation will be available on the PBMS website. Please encourage your child to actively support the Wildcat Way! Furthermore, please help your child with writing down and memorizing his/her lunch number and bus. We know it is a lot to remember, but these little things add minutes to our lunch and speed up our bus dismissal.
We encourage families to visit our website frequently, as there will be many updates as the school year begins. For instance, we have posted general supply lists for each grade level. This can be viewed at https://www-pbm.stjohns.k12.fl.us/ and click on the grade level link on the left side navigation. These are general supplies and additional details may be given by your child's teacher during the first weeks of school.
A reminder for all of our new families that Wednesday's are early release days, so students will be dismissed at 12:50 pm.
Here are some important pieces of information for this coming school year:
- Doors will open for students starting at 7:10am. We are NOT able to monitor students before 7:00am. Our office hours are 7:00am- 3:00pm.
- Students MUST have possession of their ID at all times on campus. These are used for a number of purposes on campus.
- School begins at 7:30am, students who arrive to class after 7:30am will be marked tardy to class.
- Parent drop-off and pick-up are the second entrance on Meadowlark lane from Pacetti Road. Please do not use the parking lot as a drop-off location as it is unsafe. When pulling up, please pull up all the way to the oak tree at the entrance of the school.
- Please remind your children that cell phones need to be put away and off once entering the building and can be be turned back on at the end of the school day.
- Bottle refilling stations are located throughout the school for refillable water bottles.
Update from SJCSD
For the 2022-2023 SY, please refer to the St. Johns County School District Illness Guidelines found here: https://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/health/illness/ for general health concerns related to your child.
There is no longer a dedicated district COVID hotline. For all future COVID-related testing, questions, or concerns, please consult your child’s pediatrician for guidance and recommendations.
Should the pediatrician recommend your child stay home from school, please notify your child’s teacher(s) of their upcoming absence. Upon return to school, a parent or doctor’s note must be provided to excuse the absence.
St. Johns County School District will no longer provide exposure notifications for the upcoming school year.
Please remind your child to keep themselves and others safe while on campus by using proper sanitization strategies. Together we can minimize the impacts on the community and schools.
