School Picture Days!

Welcome Back Patch MS Families!

We are so proud of the amazing work our students are doing here at Patch Middle School! From engaging classroom discussions to creative projects and problem-solving activities, our students are showing us every day what it means to work hard, care for others, and grow as learners.

As part of the Patch MS community, we know that learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings. Students represent themselves and our school in the classroom, in the hallways, on the bus, and at recess. We appreciate your continued support in encouraging and reminding your children about the importance of making positive choices and showing respect in all that they do.

When families and school staff share the responsibility of supporting students, we create the strongest foundation for their success. By working together, we can help every student reach their full potential and continue building the caring, respectful, and responsible school culture we are so proud of at Patch MS.

Thank you for all you do to support your child’s journey—we couldn’t do this without you!

Warm regards,
Mrs. Gamble and Mr. Myrga

Meet Your School Counselors!

Counselling Den Logo

We are excited to introduce our dedicated team of school counselors who are here to support our students throughout the school year. Each counselor brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to student success. Ms. O’Brien will be working closely with our 6th grade students, helping them transition smoothly into middle school and build a strong foundation for the years ahead. For our 7th and 8th grade students, Ms. Roundtree will support those with last names A through L, while Ms. Evans will work with students whose last names fall between M and Z. Together, they form a compassionate and approachable team ready to guide students through challenges and celebrate their achievements.

Whether your child needs help navigating friendships, managing stress, setting academic goals, or simply wants someone to talk to, our counselors are here to listen and help. They also collaborate with teachers and families to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive. We encourage students and parents to reach out and connect with their assigned counselor—building strong relationships early can make a big difference. Let’s make this school year one of growth, resilience, and success!

Positive Office Referrals - COMING SOON!

At Patch Middle School, we take pride in recognizing students who demonstrate respect in meaningful ways—toward their peers, teachers, and the learning environment. Positive Office Referrals celebrate those who consistently uphold our school-wide expectations by showing responsibility, honoring differences, and contributing to a culture of mutual respect. These students lead by example, helping to create a school community where everyone feels valued and safe. By practicing respectful behavior in their daily interactions, they strengthen relationships and set the tone for a positive and productive school year.
