Dear Pacoima Middle School Families and Community,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year! We are excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and partnership with our families and community. Last year was marked by strong student achievement and schoolwide success. Our improved test scores reflect the focused efforts of our staff and the determination of our students. We are proud to have earned the PBIS Gold Implementation Award, recognizing our commitment to a safe and positive school climate. Additionally, Pacoima Middle School was named the Top LAUSD Middle School Reading Champion, highlighting our emphasis on literacy and student engagement.
We also celebrate our high reclassification rates for English learners, demonstrating the effectiveness of our instructional supports and collective commitment to student success. These accomplishments reinforce our identity as a fully inclusive school where all students are supported and valued. Our students benefit from engaging academic opportunities, including our innovative Magnets and strong AVID program, which help prepare them for rigorous learning experiences. As we continue aligning our work with the District’s new strategic direction, we remain focused on preparing every student to be college and career-ready.
Our school community is rooted in our shared commitment to PRIDE, which guides our expectations for student success. We encourage all families to stay connected by signing up for and regularly checking the LAUSD Parent Portal for updates on grades, attendance, and school communication.
Thank you for your continued partnership. Together, we will make this a successful and inspiring school year for all students.
Warm regards,
Simer Garcha
