At PGMS, students will obtain the lifelong tools that will allow them to excel in all fields of study and compete on a global level with their peers.  Upon graduation, our graduates will have the confidence to learn effectively for the duration of their lives with a full understanding of the transformative power of learning.

Belief Statement

Welcome to Pelham gardens Middle School where we believe education is the great equalizer and that knowledge brings about opportunity, voice, and joy. Teachers have the ability to mold and influence the lives of each child to be a successful member of our society. We believe that given the right opportunities and guidance all children can strive toward excellence.

Collaboration-We value collaboration and shared decision making to foster learning and growth.

Reflection-We value self and peer reflections as a catalyst for focused improvement.

Advocacy-We value individuals who are advocates and are able to action plan around their goals.

Friendship-We value feeling connected and responding with curiosity to each other’s differences.

Thinking-We value a community where members are encouraged to read, write and think critically.

  • Remote Learning Tools For Parents and Students

    Here are list of the online tools we will use to implement our Remote Learning:

    PupilPath - You can view grades and assignments (the Parent Coordinator can create new accounts for parents and create & re-register student accounts).  You can also email teachers directly from PupilPath about any academic questions you may have.

    Google Classroom - Students must use their PGMS email to login to their Google Classroom account.  This is where teachers will post and check Remote Learning assignments.

    Class Dojo - After you (the parent) create an account, you must request access to your child's class.  Just follow the prompts and directions.  You may also email your child's advisor for any assistance.  This will be used mainly to communicate with parents by class and for teachers to post relevant updates to parents.

    Zoom Conferencing - It is also recommended that you (the parent) download the Zoom App as we may also conduct live conferences with Parents.

    PGMS566.org - Pelham Gardens Middle School will post schedules and documents that parents and students will need on the Documents and Form Page.

     

    There are more Remote Learning resources we will use.  This just an overview and will be updated .
