Back To School - 2022-2023 PMHS Family and Student Letter
August 1, 2022
Welcome Back To School, Pescadero Middle & High School Students and Families!
It is always a pleasure to welcome our students and families back to school for another year of learning and growth, and the opportunity to see our students one year farther into the personal development we work so hard to nurture at school, at home, and in our community. I hope this message finds everyone well and enjoying the last few days and weeks of summer. Welcome Back!
We are looking forward to a year further removed from the experience of COVID as the national pandemic played out in schools and in households across America. We are looking forward to a return to normal routines, but as well are aware that the health and wellness of our students, teachers, and staff health remain the top priority as always. We now turn our attention to goals this year that strive to increase parent and school connectedness, something lost during COVID, and programming that offers students more and better opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for a strong transcript, college and career choices, and life-long success. This is our work this year, let’s begin the journey by providing you with all of the most immediate and important information you need to commence the school year:
