Wow - what an awesome first week Pennsville Middle!! It was so great having students back in the building. Our students did an AMAZING job with our new"Away for the Day" smartphone policy and new E-Hallpass platform. It was very encouraging that many students chose not to use their smartphones during our 'device time' block and the majority of students chose not to use Chromebooks during lunchtime! It was really refreshing to see our students socializing without devices. Some reminders for next week - Students that arrive after the 7:35 bell will begin to be marked late - Back to School Night is scheduled for Thursday 9/22 - more info to come ! We are so excited and encouraged by the great start to the school year. Let's keep the positive vibes and momentum going throughout this school year! Have a great weekend PVMS!!

The 2022-2023 school year will be the 60th (!) that Pennsville Middle School has been in existence. See a little bit of the history and a few pictures in this post. If you or anyone you know have pictures or stories that you'd like to share about the early days of Pennsville Junior High - feel free to email me - (aslusher@pv-eagles.org)

PVMS Parents and Students -- please see the linked article for rationale to why we are moving to a digital device "away for the day" philosophy this school year. Our goal is to limit distractions and increase instructional time. Smartphones, earbuds, and other digital devices create many educational distractions and we believe that focusing on eliminating this barrier will enhance our academic environment. https://www.psdnet.org/o/pms/article/801713

Don’t miss tonight’s final performance of Elf The Musical, Jr. presented by the Pennsville Summer Theater!! Tonight’s performance will begin at 6pm. Way to go performers. Amazing performance this morning.

Parents & Guardians - please check your emails regarding a PVMS Update for cell phone use for 22-23 school year. PVMS will be moving to an "away for the day" philosophy for digital devices. More information can be found in the email, and more specific information will follow in the weeks leading up to September.

Good afternoon Pennsville Middle School!! We hope you’re all having a wonderful and relaxing summer. Your teachers are having a great summer and we wanted to show you what your teacher does in the summer !

Congratulations to our April, May, & June Students of the Month. Have a great summer Pennsville Middle School!!

On Monday we held the 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony at Lou D'Angelo Stadium and what an awesome turnout we had!! Thank you to all that came out to celebrate our resilient 8th grade class as we send them off to High School. After the ceremony, we held our 8th grade dance in the cafeteria. The 8th Grade Class Advisors Mrs. Alexander and Ms. Niblock did an incredible job decorating and organizing the dance! We had a great day celebrating our 8th graders and wish them the best of luck with their next step!

Last Friday, with absolutely perfect weather, we held our Field Day for students! The students had an amazing time with the many activities outdoors and indoors! Huge shout out and thank you to our class advisors for organizing, scheduling, and running the event!

There has been a lot going on here in June - we are playing catch up now. On June 2nd, we had the 5th graders (now our 6th graders!!) here for an introduction to our great music programs. The band, orchestra, and choir performed for the students and the 5th graders got to see a little bit of the Middle School! Looking forward to having our incoming 6th graders and hoping many of them will take advantage of our awesome music program!

Field Day has been postponed for tomorrow and rescheduled to Friday due to the anticipated weather forecast. Therefore, tomorrow is a normal instructional day at the Middle School. Students are to bring their Chromebooks to school on Thursday - but not on Friday for Field Day

Field Day is scheduled for this Thursday June 9th! Hats and sunglasses are permitted for outside and students are encouraged to wear sunscreen. This is a non-instructional day, so students should not bring their Chromebooks to school on Field Day. All fines must be paid by tomorrow (June 8th) in order to be able to participate in Field Day. Currently, the weather forecast is not looking too great for Thursday, so our rain date for Field Day would be Friday. We will make the decision tomorrow based upon the forecast. Thanks and we can't wait for our students to have a blast at Field Day !

Good morning, Students - Parents - Teachers - Staff T-shirts for sale Friday after school in the cafeteria!! Please bring exactly $12 cash per shirt. Sizes and quantities are limited--first come, first served! We can't wait to see you rocking your PVMS shirts!
