PLE Updates
December 12, 2024
Pine Lane Crew,
I hope you all are having a wonderful December and Holiday Season! Kids Night Out was an incredible event last Friday! A huge thank you to PLEA and our Staff for making this an amazing evening for our students! Choir, Band, and Orchestra had an excellent Winter Concert on Tuesday! It is so wonderful to see the growth over the semester in our budding musicians. Ms. Dameron, Mr. Goins, Ms. Peterson, and Ms. Eads, our directors and teachers do such a great job leading our Music program. About a third of our intermediate students participate in our extra curricular music opportunities.
We are also at the mid-year point of the school year. Our teachers are working to finalize first semester grades. Our students are wrapping up mid-year iReady testing. A huge celebration in our iReady Reading Assessment is seeing accelerated growth. Our median growth score for the school increased 10%. The middle of our data indicates that students have 73% progress toward their end of the year goal. A huge congratulation to our students for their progress and hard work!
We are moving into the last week before Winter Break! Here are a few things to keep in mind. On Wednesday, December 18th at 4:45 pm SAC is hosting a special presentation about School Culture, Discipline, and Behavior Support. We also have a few special guests from the District joining us. Teachers are also in the middle of wrapping up elementary progress reports (EPR). These reports provide you with important information regarding your students' academic growth. I would encourage you to make sure that you are able to log into the EngagED Parent Portal. This is where your child’s EPR, formally known as a “report card” will be posted on Saturday, December 21st!
Thank you all for your support! Congratulate your children on their achievement this semester and have a wonderful weekend!

Pine Lane Elementary participates in a healthy eating challenge in the spring called, Eat the Rainbow, in which we are encouraged to eat as many different colors of fruits and veggies as we can. This school year, we would like to put together an online cookbook created by our PLE community to help our families be more successful with the challenge.
We are looking for kid-approved recipes that include fruits and/or vegetables. Can you help us out?
Submit recipes to recipes.ple@gmail.com. Please include a picture of the food whenever possible.
To submit, you may use any of the following:
A completed copy of the attached Interactive Recipe Form

Please submit all recipes no later than February 14, 2025.
When submitting your recipe via email, please include the following:
Name of student/family/staff member submitting recipe
Type of dish (i.e. appetizer, salad, soup, meal, dessert, etc)
The main color(s) section you would like your recipe to go (i.e. lemon-zucchini bread could go in yellow or green).
