Pride With Purpose Preparing For The Future

Welcome to
Pershing Middle School!

Proudly Educating San Diego Children For 45 Years

 

Principal Sullivan and 8th grade science teachers, Mrs. Marcarelli 
and Mrs. Benson, welcome our Partners in Education from SPAWAR 
during their May visit to Pershing. 

Dear Pershing Families,

Helping your children grow is such a pleasure for all of us at Pershing. So many of the developments of your children are just as amazing as their first steps were - and as painful as their first tumbles and bumps. June is a month of reflection for us and we take great pride in your children’s accomplishments during this past year at middle school.

On behalf of our staff, we wish you all a restful summer. Please keep up the reading and mathematical practice - it will make the coming year even more productive!

Best wishes,

 

Sarah Sullivan
Principal

Congratulations to the cast, crew and band for the rockin' and rollin' production of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 *presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International! The show was enjoyed by students from Gage, Dailard, Benchley, and Sessions Elementary Schools, Kindercare,  the TRACE program, relatives, friends, and the community at large - eight performances in all. 

Thank you to all the Pershing parents and staff for your contributions in making the show such a success!  If anyone has photos or videos, Mrs. Miller would appreciate copies for the Drama archive.

School Nurse

I would like to remind the parents of children who have medication at the school - PLEASE come and pick up the medications by June 12th or June 15th. If I am not at school, just ask someone in the front office to get your child's medications. If the medications are left on the last day of school, they CANNOT be used the following year. A new medical form needs to be filled out for the new upcoming school year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Pershing at (619) 465-3234 and ask for the school nurse. I am here at the school on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
