Principal's Message
Pine Lane Crew,
The first quarter of the school year is already finished! So hard to believe! It was great to see so many of you out for conferences this week. I am very proud of our Crew’s hard work. There are so many celebrations already. Definitely, let your children know we are so proud of their efforts to strive toward excellence in character, achievement, and contribution to a better world.
Next week is Fall Break! Our offices will be closed. We will resume classes on October 21st. We hope you all have some wonderful plans for this break; it appears we will have some beautiful weather.
We are also launching into a very busy and exciting time in our school year. As we come back from break we will be wrapping up Candy Wars and getting ready for the Fall Festival which will be held on October 25th.
As we move closer to the Holiday Season, we have some school-wide philanthropic efforts that are being coordinated by our Mental Health staff. These efforts align perfectly with our desire to contribute to a better world and our philosophy of Crew. This year, there are few changes to our processes that have been sent out in a previous email. As we come into that first week of school back from break we will be holding spirit days on Friday to raise money to purchase turkeys for our Thanksgiving Meal Boxes. We had our first spirit day today kicking it off with a Pajama Day. Our next one will be a hat day on October 25th. Please send your child with $2 to participate in those spirit days.
I also want to make you aware of an important informational meeting. One of the capital improvement efforts included in the 5A bond measure on November’s Ballot is to expand Sierra Middle School. A virtual informational meeting about the potential expansion of Sierra Middle School will be held on October 30th at 6:15 pm. Please mark your calendars for this and we will send out links for you to join that virtual meeting later. For more information on how the bond would impact our schools visit the DCSD website.
Again, thank you all for a wonderful first quarter! You are an amazing support for your children and our school as a whole! Have a great Fall Break!
Sincerely,
Chris Stairs
Principal
Pine Lane Elementary
