Parkville Spirit Wear
The Parkville Middle PTO has launched its Spirit Wear sale! Now you can order your Parkville Middle School gear and a portion of the sale will support PMS PTO activities.
We have t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, jackets, and, yes, laptop sleeves and bags. We're accepting online orders now through February 28th. Orders can be shipped directly to you (for an additional fee), or delivered to the school within 3 weeks after the sale ends. Order below!
Annual Coffee House
Parkville Middle's annual Coffee House event returns on Wednesday, February 8th. Students will perform poetry, musical selections, and other artistic renditions for one another.
Please consider donating to this low-key but high-talent event! PMS needs donations of snacks and drinks, paper products, and small Dunkin Donuts gift cards. Students receive one free snack and beverage as they perform.
Donations can be brought to the PMS Front Office, or directly to Ms. Zimmerman's classroom. The last day for donations is Monday February 6th.
To sign up to donate something, please go to the Coffeehouse's Signup Genius form. Thank you for your contributions!

New Principal
We are proud to welcome Mr. Micah Wiggins as the new Principal of Parkville Middle School. Please see his welcome letter below.
Please also consider completing this short survey to help Mr. Wiggins learn about Parkville Middle.
Transportation
In an effort to increase route efficiency and improve service to families, beginning this year, all students eligible for transportation in the Northeast Area must register for service to and from school. Please complete the registration process to let us know if your student is requesting bus service for the 2022-2023 school year.
As of August 22, parents/guardians and students will now see transportation information in FOCUS. To access student transportation information under a parent/guardian sign-on in FOCUS, users should select “Child Info” under the student’s name on left side of the FOCUS window. Once “Child Info” is selected, users should select, “Transportation.” Within “Transportation,” users will see the Bus Number, Bus Route Name, Stop Description, and Stop Time for both the morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) trips.
See the Transportation section for details on Parkville's pick up locations and load stations.
