PBMS Family Bulletin

PBMS strives to be a place where students want to come to school, parents want to send their children and  staff want to come to work.

PBMS June 1, 2023 

Message from Principal Meng 

 

Awards: At the end of the school year, we will recognize students for academics, citizenship and special International Baccalaureate areas. Most of the invitations were sent home with students TODAY in 1st period but we have a few more to deliver tomorrow. 

 

Mission Bay Cluster Meeting:  Don’t miss the best meeting of the year. The last Mission Bay Cluster meeting of the year is next Thursday, June 1 at 6:00pm in the Mission Bay HS Library. The agenda includes short updates from each principal and the Senior Panel. There are  about 12 seniors who will share their experiences at MBHS (and coming up through our cluster). It’s a great event for parents and students especially if you are curious about the high school. We hope to see you there.  FLYER

 

6th grade Camp: Mr. Bauer and Mr. Wood are offering COVID testing for 6th grade camp participants on Sunday June 4 at PBMS from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. You will need to come with your child, help your child with the COVID test, and then show the results to school staff. The test takes about 30 minutes. Please park in the parking lot and then come to the auditorium, where test kits will be available. Please bring your student’s luggage for camp at the same time. We will place the luggage in the auditorium for quick loading on Monday morning. COVID testing and luggage drop-off on Sunday is optional, but we strongly encourage participation because this will really help us have a smooth departure for camp on Monday morning. If you cannot make it on Sunday, please plan on arriving at 7:00 Monday morning, help your child with the test, and wait at least 30 minutes until the test is done. Thank you for making 6th Grade Camp a successful and fun learning experience for your child!

7th Period:  We will not have scheduled classes for 7th period on Monday 6/12 or Tuesday 6/13.. The dismissal time for all students will be 2:45pm. Again, please note the last day for 7th period is Friday, June 9. We will not have 7th period on Monday 6/12 or Tuesday 6/13. 

 

Physical &  Health Education: FIXED LINK! PBMS families, this fall we will be piloting a new, non-traditional physical education class called "Dance PE". This class will be offered for 7th/8th graders. While Dance PE will still encompass fitness and physical skills, the main focus of the class will be dance including jazz, ballet, modern among others. There will only be one section available so space will be limited. Please let us know as soon as possible by completing this form DANCE PE REQUEST, if your child would like to have an opportunity to take Dance PE in place of their regular physical education class.

 

School Funding: PBMS needs your help. Every year the State and Federal governments provide extra funding to schools serving students with the biggest needs. Federal funding is called Title 1 and State funding is called LCFF. PBMS lost all of Title 1 funding for this year and had a small reduction in LCFF funds. We can get the funding restored for the 24-25 school year if we qualify based on your income range and family size. This month, your child will receive an LCFF Form for you to complete and return. You can also do this online in PowerSchool. Here is the JOB AID,  We are expecting 100% completion. We missed qualifying for Title 1 funds by just 6 students.  Portal NOW OPEN in PowerSchool.
