New Sign In and Sign Out Process
Pine Street will begin a new sign in and sign out process when we return from Spring Break! If you drop your student off late or pick them up early, you'll notice an iPad on the desk in the foyer where we always sign in and sign out. Please use the iPad to check your student in or out! There will be a QR code you can scan as well if you prefer to use your phone to complete the process. We'll be here to help during the transition as well!
Last Chance For A Yearbook
If you didn't order a 2023-2024 yearbook with a school photo packet, now is your last chance to order one! Order must be placed by Friday, April 5th. Yearbooks are $12 and can be ordered by going to inter-state.com/order and enter code 82753S.

M-Step and NWEA Testing
M-Step and NWEA testing will take place in April and May. Below you will find our testing schedule for each grade level. Your student's teacher will be in touch to let you know the exact date their class will be testing. Just like everyday, it is important for your child to get a good night's sleep the night before testing and eat a good breakfast the morning of the test. Free grab and go breakfast is also provided everyday for any Pine Street student that would like it.

What is Perseverance?
Perseverance is the willingness and ability to keep going when things are tough. People who persevere show steadfastness and give the extra effort needed to do something despite how hard it is or how long it takes to reach the goal.
