A Message from Mrs. McMullan
Dear Pine Road Families,
As we wrap up the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued partnership and support. It has been a year filled with growth, learning, and many memorable moments that have helped our students flourish—both academically and in their social-emotional development.
From the first day of school to the final celebrations, our students have shown resilience, curiosity, and kindness. We’ve watched them reach milestones, build friendships, and take on new challenges with determination and joy. Our dedicated teachers and support staff have created engaging classroom environments, and your involvement—whether through volunteering, supporting learning at home, or cheering from the sidelines—has made a powerful difference.
As we head into summer, I hope that you are able to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy family time. Whether it’s reading together, exploring the outdoors, or simply slowing down, summer offers a wonderful opportunity for reflection and reconnection.
Until we officially say goodbye, we look forward to squeezing every last moment of fun out of the school year—celebrating with end-of-year classroom parties, the 3rd Grade Picnic, final assemblies, and our Pine Road's Got Talent show! As a reminder, our last day of school is Monday, June 16th, and it will be an early dismissal day.
We look forward to the week ahead!
Thank you for your partnership,
Kaitlyn McMullan

Please Welcome Mrs. Nancy Bradley
Pine Road's New Assistant Principal
Dear Pine Road Families,
My name is Nancy Bradley, and I am incredibly honored to be joining Pine Road Elementary as your new Assistant Principal starting in July 2025.
For the past 22 years, I have dedicated my career in education to serving students, teachers, staff, and families. My professional journey began as a special education teacher, and as my career progressed, I had the privilege of supporting school communities as a dean, instructional coach, and assistant principal. I am excited to bring my experiences, talents, and love for education to Pine Road.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in "Northeast Philly” and still reside in the Fox Chase neighborhood. I'm married to my husband, Michael, and we have two beautiful daughters and soon-to-be seven grandchildren. I love yoga, cooking, and music (I'm looking forward to attending a few summer concerts). I grew up going to the Jersey shore and still enjoy beach time there with my family every summer.
I can't wait to meet and begin working with the school community. I strongly believe in the importance of collaboration and building positive, productive relationships. I am truly honored to serve as Pine Road’s Assistant Principal and greatly look forward to becoming a part of your family.
I wish you a joyful and relaxing summer.
With gratitude,
Nancy Bradley
