September is Suicide Awareness Month
Middle school can be tough, but you don’t have to go through challenges alone. This month, Mercer County Schools will focus on practical coping strategies and ways to support your own mental health.
There will be activities and opportunities to learn how to manage stress, talk through feelings, and find positive outlets when life gets overwhelming. Remember: your feelings matter, and your life matters. Together, we can create a supportive
community.

Student devices and chargers were handed out today! Students, remember to take care of your device and charger...do not let others borrow or use them. Make sure that if you put either in your locker that the locker is locked! If you take your device home, remember to bring it back with you the next school day. We want everyone to have a successful year this year and device care is a big part of that. Here's to a great year ahead! :)

PMS Parents and Students:
We will be conducting in-person training with all students regarding the new "Reach Out" app during the month of September. Below is an explanation of what the "Reach Out" app does.
"Relatable & Supportive"
Middle school can feel overwhelming sometimes—friend drama, stress, or just tough days.
That’s why we have ReachOut! It connects students with licensed counselors who listen and care.
It’s safe. It’s confidential. And it’s available whenever they need it.
Just click the “Let’s Talk” icon on your school computer.

This week in Mr. O'Dell's Project Lead the Way classes, we completed some STEM activities to prepare for getting our devices and diving into the program next week! Students used linking blocks to create a dog house - with the caveat that the dog house had to include a distinct and recognizable pattern, much the way computers work to recognize patterns.
Students got to see a 3D printer create a "Fidget Dinosaur!" Students then played with "Zivko," Mr. O'Dell's robot. Following Zivko's introduction, students were tasked with designing their own robot to perform a certain beneficial function. Lastly, students explored designing and building paper airplanes, with a discussion on what would make them go the farthest. Today, students got to launch their airplanes and see how far they would go! We LOVE STEM at Princeton Middle School!! Activities don't have to be complicated and they can be SO MUCH FUN! :)

Parents,
Students were sent home today with two important documents that need your attention and signature! The "Mercer County Schools Device Agreement" and the "Mercer County Schools Acceptable Use Policy (I-03-B)" must be signed and returned to the homeroom teacher in order for students to receive devices. You can either complete the paper forms or sign them digitally via the parent portal (using the attached QR code) or complete the documents via both routes (just to be on the safe side!) We appreciate your time and help in ensuring that your student has a successful year at PMS! Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the school!

We are currently working on Parent Schoology letters for PMS. We are hoping to have those mailed out NO LATER than this Friday! Parents, please be watching the mailbox for those letters and codes! As always, if you have any questions or need any assistance, feel free to call the school at 304-425-7517. :)
Parents,
Students will be bringing home a "Device Agreement" form and a "Policy I-03B (AUP)" form. Please read these carefully, sign and have your child return them to the homeroom teacher THIS WEEK. Students WHO HAVE turned in their SIGNED Device Agreement and Policy I-03B (AUP) Agreement will be issued devices next week. Anyone not having these forms in WILL NOT be issued a device until the forms are completed and turned in.
Thanks!
Welcome Back Everyone! Here's next week's lunch menu (August 25-29)! It's so good to be back! :)
