WE ARE BACK!! Full Scrimmage schedule & the Football Season Opener take place this week. Stop out & check out some pre-season PMHS Athletics events. We also have Team Photo Day this week & our Fall Preseason Parent Meeting. www.pmhsathletics.org for complete schedules.

Class of 2025 Seniors and Families, The PMHS Senior Class Trip is one of the culminating experiences of the high school process. We are excited to be able to continue to offer this wonderful opportunity for our senior class members. This year's trip will take place from Sunday, April 27th through Friday, May 2nd. Our arrival on Sunday evening this year is something many schools have moved to since we began flying out of Newark. While the additional night did add a minimal expense for the room, it will allow our seniors to avoid a 1am departure from PMHS on the first day of the trip, ensuring they start the trip fresh. We will not have any park admission on Sunday night when we arrive. Our travel agent, Educational Travel Tours, has provided a brief YouTube video that will walk you through the registration process (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c34ivl_ylpo). We ask that you watch the entire video before starting the registration process. Once you have completed the video, you will go to the travel portal and all registration and payments will take place on this site (https://educationaltraveltours.wetravel.com/trips/pennsville-memorial-high-school-2025-senior-class-trip-educational-travel-tours-inc-06932034). Once we pass the deposit timeline, there will be a mandatory parent meeting in early October to review school rules and policies for school expectations leading up to the trip and also for general rules and procedures during the trip. We are excited for the 2024-2025 school year to begin in September and look forward to working with you throughout this final year of high school. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Students & Parents - It's time to start thinking about the 2024-25 School Year! Check your email for the welcome back letter and info about the freshman/new student open house, when schedules will be available, and info about the new school year.

PMHS Parents/Guardians, This email is being sent to save everyone time and money in the registration process. Please read the instructions on the Pennsville athletics registration page carefully so that this clearance procedure can be done smoothly and efficiently. Please note that the sports physical forms have changed. The previous forms will not be accepted after July 1, 2024. The new forms have been posted to the registration portal (www.pmhsathletics.org), so please be sure that all physicals are completed using these new forms. Please be aware that if your doctor does not have the certification for the cardiac module, then do not have them perform the physical. The State of NJ requires that signature and your child will not be cleared without that signature. Otherwise, an out-of-pocket payment for a new physical may be needed. Take the packet to your primary care doctor to fill out. Be sure to have them sign off on the Medical Eligibility form, as this page MUST be turned in at the Main office (Hours are Mon -Thurs 7:30-4). Also, be aware that if your student has asthma or allergies, and requires an inhaler or epipen, the Emergency plans on the registration website must also be filled out by the primary physician and submitted to the school. The inhalers and Epipens must be submitted to the trainer, or school nurse, or carried by the student (if documented that he/she can self-administer). Thank you for your time and patience as we updated our site to meet the new NJDOE requirements. If you have any questions, please contact the PMHS Main Office, during summer hours (above). Have a great summer.

The PMHS Athletic Department has recently been informed of a company that is reaching out to student-athletes about NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals. THIS IS A SCAM. This is not a legitimate business and is in no way connected to or supported by PMHS. Please block this contact and do not engage with them on social media. Included below is a link to information regarding the NJSIAA's policy on NIL deals. Bullet #5 is one primary area where this current model violates the policy. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Athletic Office. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zdGIASjUt43_ZFszpWahPWyrydAoD1bw/view?usp=sharing

Congratulations to the Renaissance Teacher of the Year, Mr. Longstreth and Renaissance Student of the Year, Riley Bowman! You are both truly amazing, inspiring, and dedicated to PMHS! PMHS Renaissance Club is honored to give you this award! PMHS Renaissance Student of the Year will receive a certificate, trophy, and a $50.00 check. PMHS Renaissance Teacher of the Year will receive a $50.00 check and a trophy from the PMHS Renaissance Club!!!! Mr. Longstreth was nominated "8" times by his co-workers---we appreciate you!!! Don't forget your have a special parking spot as well!! Nominations for Mr. Longstreth included the following kind words: As our only ESL teacher, Mr. Longstreth is our one man welcoming committee for students who speak little to no English. His bright smile and calm demeanor immediately puts students at ease. He enriches both the culture and climate of our school by helping his students feel included all day, every day. He takes the time to learn about his students' diverse cultures. His lessons reflect the school’s climate and culture while recognizing and celebrating the students’ backgrounds. The students learn that their uniqueness is part of our school culture. Mr. Longstreth’s philosophy that every student can learn is reflected in his interactions with each student. He meets them on their individual levels. He translates assignments into their respective languages and modifies to meet their needs. He ensures that their work is both challenging and engaging. Mr. Longstreth has students in multiple classes at the same time. Usually, Mike is a streak passing by, bounding up and down the stairs, as he tends to students in the various classrooms. It is obvious by the looks on the students' faces that they are relieved when he arrives. During past years, he has organized activities for ESL students to foster social interaction with peers. This past year, he taught English classes in the evenings for the families of his ESL students. Mr. Longstreth takes an active role collaborating with both general and special education teachers. His insight and knowledge are invaluable. He volunteers to help in the classroom with hands-on activities. Kindness and consideration is evident in everything he does. He shows his concern with teacher morale by being an active member of the teacher's Social Committee. Nominations for Riley Bowman included the following kind words: Riley is a fantastic student and role model for her peers. She is always motivated to do well in class. She submits quality work, always going above and beyond expectations. She participates in all class discussions, providing insightful and thought-provoking responses. She is also the first student to assist a classmate in need. There are many times when Riley is seen helping another student because they are struggling. She is able to teach them the concepts which demonstrates her superior knowledge of the material. Riley is the most kind and respectful student that I have had the pleasure to teach. She consistently goes out of her way to ask how someone is doing and then she genuinely listens to the answer and responds accordingly. She is the first student to offer a smile and support to both her teachers and her classmates. Riley is involved in so many activities that positively impact the school climate and culture. Her most notable involvements would have to be Student Council and Executive Committee. She holds leadership roles with both clubs. Both groups organize events and policies for the student body at PMHS. Since she has a leadership role for both, she is an integral part of many positive things implemented at the high school. Also, in her conversations with her peers, she can be heard strategizing about improvements for the high school. She is always thinking of ways to make an impact. I think Riley is such a well-rounded and dedicated student. Not only does she excel at academics, but she also has wonderful qualities and characteristics that make her a fantastic person. She is such a hard working student and truly deserves the recognition for all of her time and achievements. Once again CONGRATULATIONS on this PRESTIGIOUS HONOR! Thank you for making PMHS such a special and happy place for students to learn and grow!
