Good evening Wildcat families,
We hope you all had a great weekend. Last we we had an incredible Spirit Week and the kids did some amazing things. Our media center also had its annual Literary Pumpkin Contest and we congratulate the winners. Tomorrow is Halloween, but please remind your child there are NO COSTUMES allowed at school, we greatly appreciate it.
The second quarter marks a full quarter of in-depth focus in every subject on knowledge, skills and application. Please continuously monitor your child's academic progress via HAC and encourage your child to monitor as well.
St Johns County School District is in the process of renewing our accreditation. Each school is required to have parents complete the survey below. Please take a few minutes to complete as your feedback is valued and will help Pacetti Bay Middle School and the district plan for future years.

Yearbook sales are now open and details are listed below.
We will continue to review expectations and consequences to all students. It is critical for the school to provide a safe and secure environment for students to learn and grow. We ask that you partner with us by encouraging your child to actively support the Wildcat Way! The 22-23 Expectations presentation can be seen at https://vimeo.com/740462750.
We currently have one teacher vacancy, Science/STEM. We have been aggressively looking to fill this position and are very thankful for the dedication of our science department as they have been working to keep the students learning by planning lessons and grading for our substitute teachers.
We encourage families to visit our website frequently, as there will be many updates as the school year begins. 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.
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.
