Attention Grade 12 Parents/Guardians: The countdown to Graduation 2027 has begun, and we invite ALL our PMSS Grade 12 Parents and Guardians to attend our first Parent Grad Meeting. Date:  Monday, October 5th at 7:00 pm Where:  PMSS in the Multipurpose Room (just south of the main entrance doors) This meeting is an opportunity for our Grade 12 families to come together and begin planning the memorable events that celebrate our graduates – including the Dinner/Dance and Dry Grad (which features entertainment, activities, prizes, food, and more). The Grad celebrations are made possible through the dedication and support of Parent Volunteers. Whether you can contribute a little time or take on a larger role, every helping hand makes a difference. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and the more families involved – the more successful and enjoyable these events will be for our Grads. At this first meeting, we will: Discuss fundraising opportunities Begin planning Grad events and activities Form volunteer committees Share ideas and gather parent input Outline how families can get involved throughout the year No experience is necessary. We welcome new ideas, fresh perspectives, and all levels of participation! We encourage every Grade 12 family to send at least one representative if possible. Together, we can create an unforgettable Grad experience for the Class of 2027. We look forward to seeing you there!

Tomorrow, PMSS will recognize Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We encourage all students and staff to wear orange in honour of Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities.

Orange Shirt Day serves as a reminder of the lasting impacts of the residential school system and the importance of learning, reflection, and reconciliation. By wearing orange, we acknowledge the message that Every Child Matters and demonstrate our commitment to creating a more inclusive and respectful future for all.

Thank you for supporting this important day of recognition and reflection.

Every Child Matters.

This week marks the beginning of FLEX Time at Pitt Meadows Secondary. FLEX will take place each day from 9:45 a.m. to 10:26 a.m.

An important reminder for students and families is that FLEX is instructional time, not free time. Students are expected to remain on campus and use this time purposefully by working with one of their eight teachers. FLEX might include completing assignments, receiving additional support, working collaboratively, accessing enrichment opportunities, or getting ahead on upcoming work.

FLEX also provides students with an important opportunity to develop greater independence and responsibility for their learning. Students will need to think ahead, identify their priorities, schedule their time, and make decisions about where their time is best spent. These are skills that will serve them well beyond high school, whether they move on to post-secondary education, employment, or other opportunities.

Students are encouraged to plan ahead and sign up in advance if they would like to attend a specific teacher’s FLEX space. This can be done from home, allowing students to think about their learning needs and make a plan before arriving at school.

Students can access the FLEX sign-up by copying and pasting the following link into their browser:  tinyurl.com/pmssflex

Students will access the sign-up form using their school account: studentnumber@mrpm.sd42.ca.

We also encourage families to have conversations with their student(s) about FLEX planning. Asking questions such as what they are working on, where they plan to go for FLEX, or which teacher they may need support from can help students develop the habits of planning, prioritizing, and taking ownership of their learning.

Students are expected to remain in their selected learning space for the full FLEX block. The PMSS personal digital device expectations also remain in effect during FLEX, just as they do during other instructional time.

As students become familiar with FLEX, our staff will continue to support them in learning how to make thoughtful and productive choices with this time. We are excited about the opportunities FLEX will provide for students to access support, pursue their learning, and develop greater ownership over their school experience.

Thank you for your support as we begin FLEX at PMSS.
