Welcome to Park Place Middle School - home of the Pumas!
January 6, 2012
Happy New Year! With just a few weeks left of our opening semester, now is the time to check grades on Family Access, communicate with students and teachers to see that assignments are completed, and plans in place to complete any long term projects that are part of the requirements for our second term. The new quarter begins on February 6.
It may seem early, but we are already beginning to make plans for the 2012-2013 school year. The high school counselors will be at PPM on the evening of January 12 to discuss options for students at MHS in honors and advanced placement. While 8th graders and their parents will be most interested in this topic, students and parents of all grade levels are welcome to attend. In March, the HS counselors will visit our 8th grade block classes to begin the HS registration process. Park Place will begin our registration for next year at about the same time. Our counselors will be meeting with elementary counselors to begin the transition to middle school. Our current 6th and 7th grade students will be working with their advisory teachers to fill out elective requests for next year beginning in March.
The new year is good time to review goals that have been set for this school year. Take a few minutes to discuss this with your student. Are grades in classes at the level that were in your child’s plan last September? What changes might make reaching these goals more attainable. Review the use of the student agenda/planner, the time and place set aside for reading and completing homework assignments, and the level of effort that is being applied to keeping up with school work.
Please check the calendar for upcoming events at Park Place. I look forward to continuing to work with you and your children in 2012!

Important Notice About Internet Safety
The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.
Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.
