Good evening Falcon Families,
I apologize for the delay in this week's Menendez Message.
This week is Celebrate Literacy Week with some exciting themed days listed below. Literacy is the key to all learning. Reading and writing are lifelong skills that our students will not only use in all classes, but they will take with them beyond PMHS.
We have a great start to the second semester at PMHS. We have seen really good growth for the majority of our students. We have seen a direct, positive correlation between attendance and academic performance. It is incredibly important for students to be on time and in class each and every day. Please partner with us to help your child achieve at the highest level by being at school.
We are incredibly proud of so many of our students. Our HOSA club had a tremendous showing this past weekend. Our athletic teams have had some incredible wins in January. Please check out the Student Spotlight below to learn about some of the wonderful things that our PMHS students have done.
Parents, please note that registration season is upon us and we want to let you know that our counselors will be meeting with students in the coming weeks for the 2024-2025 school year. Please make sure to look through the e-mail that was sent to you last week regarding registration.
We were also noticing an uptick in the appearance of cell phones during class time. Please remind your child, that there is to be NO cell phone usage during class times unless specifically directed by the teacher for instructional purposes. We are committed to protecting your child's instructional time.
Senior parents, please make sure to look through the entire newsletter as there is important information for the coming weeks. As of now, Senior Dues are open for payment. Please see the flyer below.
Please see the flyer below regarding digital IDs. These will be utilized this year for students in the media center, cafeteria, checking in and out and other school events. If your child does not have a cell phone, we do have alternative options. In addition, all students must complete the form below to access the SJCSD network and acknowledge access to the SJCSD student code of conduct.

Visitors to campus MUST complete a School Access Form which can be found on the SJCSD website at https://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/volunteer/.

As the year progresses, the message will fill with information for our students, parents and our community. Please make sure to subscribe to The Menendez Message at the link below.
We look forward to unlocking the potential of each student and Menendez High School this coming school year. RISE UP FALCONS!
