Connect Ed - March 17

Good evening, Piedmont Middle School families. This Dr. Strickland with the Week in Preview for March 18 – 22. This week, on Tuesday AND Thursday, our PTO will be sponsoring Spirit Night at Pizza Hut. On Tuesday, it will be at the Monroe Mall Pizza Hut location and on Thursday it will be at the Wingate location. Also, this Friday, our students will benefit from the PTO’s positive involvement in our school through the Panther Bucks Store! We’re in the fifth six weeks of the school year already, so it’s definitely time to buckle down and make sure that all of our students are doing their VERY BEST in everything they’re learning! It’s great to be a Piedmont Panther and I’m so thankful to be a part of this GREAT community! Thank you for all you do to make sure that our students understand that Every Minute Matters!

One final announcement for 8^th grade parents: If you are hoping for your student to take advantage of Piedmont High School’s School of Choice option, the hard deadline is March 31. Make sure you fill out all paperwork in time! We’d love for you to continue to be part of the Piedmont Legacy!

UCPS Elementary Coding Camp

Mrs. Griffin, Computer Programming teacher, will be hosting the first ever UCPS Elementary Coding Camp here at Piedmont Middle. This camp is available to rising 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students currently enrolled in Union County Public Schools and will be held June 24 - 27th. This camp runs each day beginning at 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Students must have reliable transportation to and from Piedmont Middle School each day. The cost of the camp is $75.00 per student payable to Union County Public Schools.

This will be a fun week of coding and team building activities. Students will not only learn coding through various projects in Tynker.com, but will also unleash their creativity through hands-on activities. Campers will build games, interactive stories, websites, programmable circuits, and programmable drones. Coding students will receive personalized instruction and collaborate with new friends. After camp, kids will be able to share projects with family and friends through the online website that we build during camp. Campers will also be able to continue their coding development through online access.
