Principal’s Hello!
Hello, Parents and Guardians!
Happy new year! We enjoyed a great week back with your students. It’s Friday already?! Our students didn’t skip a beat and fell right into our practiced routines.
I hope you all had a restful time with family. It’s good to be back in our building full of zest and middle school joy!

Crosswalk Care
Please be careful driving around before and after school, especially at our crosswalks. We had a student hit by a car yesterday. (The student sustained a broken foot.) Our before- and after-school supervision is centered around campus, and we cannot watch the roads in the neighborhoods. That’s where you come in! Thank you for your help and vigilance keeping our students safe while crossing the street.

Early Eagle Open Gym
Early Eagle Open Gym Basketball is back! Doors will open from 7:15-7:30am on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning January 10th, ending the week prior to spring break. The open gym will close it’s school doors open at 8:15am. PCMS Athletics is sponsoring this program and will provide basketballs. Please review these rules with your student prior to dropping them off at school.
Food Delivery Services (Door Dash, etc.)
We have issues with students using their phones to order meals for delivery to school. First, whether students are ordering for themselves or for a group of friends, often the order is placed within the classroom hence disrupting their teacher and going against our “phones off and away during the day” policy. Second, the delivery service arrives at PCMS often without last names which can create a time consuming and frustrating task for our office support team. Third, constant deliveries from an outside establishment creates an inequity or exclusion situation amongst our students which may cause a need for students to meet with their counselor.
We know that from time-to-time guardians will forget to send their student to school with a lunch. If you are not able to deliver the meal, we highly encourage students to utilize our onsite cafeteria even if there isn’t money in their account, they can go through food line and their account will be charged. Please review this option with your student.
Girls Basketball
The Girls Basketball season is about to begin with practices starting after school next week. We have asked Bend Parks and Recreation to keep registration open through this weekend. We are a few players short for the two 7/8 grade combined teams and could also add a few more 6th grade athletes, so please sign up HERE if interested!
