Dance: We are thrilled to introduce a new dance program at Pomolita, led by the experienced Kira Gibson. If your student is interested in dance, we encourage you to fill out the Google form below. This program not only fosters creativity and physical fitness but also provides a platform for self-expression and confidence-building. Dance Elective Request Form
Schedule Change Requests: Students will only be able to change their schedules during the first week of school. If you want to inquire about a schedule change, please fill out the electronic request form to meet with your counselor (see below). DO NOT leave class to meet with your counselor, complete the form and your counselor will call you in.
Intervention Period: (No, you do not have two of the same or duplicate classes). This year, we're introducing a new Intervention period to our bell schedule. This is a special time dedicated to helping every student succeed. During this period, you'll either get extra support in a subject where you need a little help or be able to participate in fun, engaging enrichment activities. On the first day of school, this period will be your first class after break. Be sure to check the bell schedule to see what time that is!

District's Mission:
We will challenge and inspire our students to value different perspectives and become
successful, contributing citizens in an increasingly interdependent world.
Panther's Code:
Our Panther Code serves as our code of conduct, and students are frequently rewarded for demonstrating these traits. One of the ways students are rewarded is with ROAR bucks. When a Panther is “caught being good,” or following our values they are given a ROAR where they can exchange for goodies at the student store. Our WEB leaders are happy to help students cash-out on their ROAR bucks every day during break!
Pomolita's Vision:
Promote the development of each student as an academically, socially, and physically fit citizen. We believe that the development of a student's sense of responsibility for his or her learning and behavior is central to a successful transition to the high school experience. We, as a school community, are dedicated to academic excellence, social awareness, and the encouragement of life-long learning.
