🦈🎉 PBIS Shark Jam = SUCCESS! 🎉🦈
Today we celebrated all the AMAZING positive choices our Shark Scholars have been making at our annual PBIS Shark Jam! Even a little rain couldn’t stop the fun — our students made the most of the day playing throughout the gym, hanging out in the courtyard, enjoying great snacks, and treating themselves to Jeremiah’s Italian Ice before heading off to Spring Break!
As we officially close out Quarter 3, we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, growth, and positive behaviors our scholars have shown all year long. Moments like today remind us how special our Hidden Oaks community truly is. 💙
Have a safe and relaxing Spring Break, Sharks! We can’t wait to see everyone back in one week, refreshed and ready to finish the year strong! 🦈🌴☀️

Learning never stops at Hidden Oaks Middle School—even with Spring Break less than 8 hours away! 🦈💥
Today, Mrs. Kendall’s 7th grade science scholars were deep in review as they wrapped up the 3rd nine weeks. The collaboration, academic talk, and energy during their 7‑station sticky note review was truly off the charts! Scholars were actively dissecting their understanding of the circulatory system, nervous system, reproductive system, and bacteria—thinking critically, explaining their reasoning, and learning from one another every step of the way.
This is what engaged learning looks like, and it makes us incredibly #SharkProud. Way to finish strong, Sharks! 🧠📚✨

Future Sharks, We’re Ready for You!
Stop 1/3 complete!
Today was an exciting step toward August as our future 6th graders got a warm Hidden Oaks Middle School welcome! School Counselor Mrs. Romano and Principal Mr. Forte had the pleasure of visiting Palm City Elementary to meet with our amazing fifth-grade scholars.
We spent time talking about the transition to middle school—class schedules, elective opportunities, clubs, and athletics—while answering questions and easing those first-day nerves. The excitement was real, and the future is bright!
We cannot wait to see these PCE scholars walking the halls of Hidden Oaks Middle School this August. Get ready, Sharks—your journey is just beginning! 🦈💙
