Students and staff at Sylvan Hills Middle had fun dressing up for the different spirit days this week. We love seeing how everyone shows their creative side with our themed days! Here are just a few of the spirit day outfits!
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) lessons are applied to a variety of courses and skills that students use daily. It is fun to see students of all ages learn that STEM is Lit! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
Several students at Sylvan Hills Middle gathered before school this morning for the annual "See You at the Pole" moment of prayer. See You at the Pole is an annual gathering of thousands of Christian students at school flag poles (and other locations) to pray for students and staff. Thank you for praying for our school!

This week there have been a few instances where students have required medical attention and, therefore, we asked teachers to hold students in their classrooms. This allowed medical personnel to focus on student care and ensure privacy for the student(s). At no time was the school itself in any danger nor were we on lockdown. These are precautionary steps we take to maintain the health and safety of all students in medical emergency situations.
This is National Coding Week! What new digital skills are you learning to help others and your community? Coding also helps students learn teamwork and problem solving skills. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
Happy first day of Fall! Who is ready for some cooler weather? #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
Just a quick note to brag on the students...we have right at 1150 as of today and so far this is the best group of kids we've had in my 6 years at SHMS as far as being respectful, being well behaved, just being good people. Time will tell how successful they are as students but as people they are A+....congratulations parents and well done!
This is the International Week of the Deaf and we want to highlight our PCSSD interpreters who work with students across the District. Thank you for your service to our students and schools! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
