Pacoima Middle School

Welcome to Pacoima Middle School. As your child’s neighborhood school or magnet center, I want to assure you that we are encouraged by the 8 points gained last year on the California Standards Test and will continue to ensure that we provide the best instructional program for your child. We have implemented early intervention programs to address the needs of those students who are not making adequate progress throughout the year. We will continue to have high expectations for our students as we push them to higher academic levels.

We have outstanding and award winning programs in our resident and magnet schools. In our Resident school, we have our Dramaticats and the instrumental music programs. In our Magnet program, we have the Pacoima Singers, Paradigm Dance Company, the Pacoima Players, and Camera on Fire.

Parents, we need your help.  Your participation in your child’s education is one of the most important factors in his/her success in school. All students have an academic diary so that they can write down their assignments and be more organized. Please check your child’s academic diary on a regular basis to see if they have homework or assignments to complete. Attend scheduled Parent Conferences to receive updates on your child’s academic progress. Contact your child’s counselor if you feel that your child needs academic help.

Working together we can ensure that your child receives a quality educational experience. Please do not hesitate to contact the school should you have any questions about our instructional program or the intervention programs available for your child.
