Dear PVMS Families,
It is hard to believe that today marks our last full day of the 2025-2026 school year! It is crazy how fast this year has gone, and what an incredibly positive and successful year it has been here at Pennsville Middle School. We cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support, partnership, and dedication to our students’ success.
As we look forward to next week’s 8th Grade celebrations, we have been closely monitoring the forecast. While the weather for next Tuesday has been shifting consistently throughout the week, it currently looks promising. However, to ensure we are prepared, we want to proactively share our new contingency plan with everyone.
Plan A: Ideal Weather (As Planned) If the weather cooperates, we will hold our ceremonies exactly as originally scheduled:
Tuesday, June 16 @ 6:00 PM: 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony (Lou D'Angelo Stadium)
Tuesday, June 16 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: 8th Grade Dance (PVMS Cafeteria)
Plan B: Inclement Weather Contingency If the weather does not cooperate on Tuesday, we will enact the following changes:
Tuesday, June 16 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: 8th Grade Dance (PVMS Cafeteria) — There will be no change to the dance; it will take place Tuesday night regardless of weather.
Wednesday, June 17 @ 4:00 PM: 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony (Lou D'Angelo Stadium)
***REMINDER: Students must be at school that day in order to be able to attend either event.
Our Rationale: In short, our backup plan is to move the ceremony outdoors to Wednesday rather than bringing it indoors on Tuesday. An indoor ceremony would require us to strictly limit attendance to only two tickets per student. We want to accommodate as many family members and friends as possible so we can all celebrate this milestone together!
We will continue to monitor the forecast through the weekend, and will send a message out on Monday afternoon with an update as we get closer to Tuesday. Thank you again for a fantastic year, and have a wonderful weekend!
Dr. Slusher & Mr. Mulhern
