STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Pine Creek Counseling

It's that time of year when the weather can be unpredictable! Please make sure your children are dressed accordingly for recess and waiting outside before school starts! If they need additional layers, they will be sent to the Lost & Found.

There are numerous items in the Lost & Found. Please stop in between the hours of 7:40am-3:50pm if you think your child is missing something. If your child attends ASK, you may stop in during dropoff and pickup hours. Items left will be donated on December 21.

DECEMBER BREAKFAST/LUNCH MENU

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has monthly meetings on the first Monday of each month. Please follow their Facebook page at PineCreekPTO for updates and events. Please save the date of September 29th for the PTO Fundraiser. Your child’s involvement in gathering donations for the fundraiser will go directly back to our children at Pine Creek Elementary! The money raised by our students funds parent, teacher and student support throughout the school year.
