24/25 Back to School Night Letter

Attached below is a sheet with how the case management is broken up at the high school as well as QR codes. The CST will be following the same procedure as guidance in that if a student wants to speak to their case manager they will need to scan the QR code to schedule a time.

We held our class meetings this week. Here is what we presented to the students.

24/25 Class Meetings

Underclass pictures for 9th through 11th graders will be taken on October 25th during gym class. The blood drive will be taking place in the gym that day, so students will be in the auditorium. Any underclassmen volunteering to work the blood drive for Interact Club should report to the auditorium first thing in the morning to have their picture taken before starting their duties.

Recently, some have received Lunch Balance notices via email. The message comes from the principal of each building and is an automated message that pulls data from Genesis. The message reads:

"This message is from the Pine Hill School District. Currently, your student (insert name here) has a negative school lunch balance of -$(insert amount here) which must be paid as soon as possible. If you have not completed a school lunch application, please do - as this balance may be reversed if you qualify."

If you have any questions regarding this message or if you would like to submit a school lunch application, please contact Pat Blaylock in our Board Office at 856-783-6900 ext. 1034 .

When dropping off students in the morning please pay attention the following rules below. This is for the safety of our students and parents.

1. Please pull all the way up prior to letting your child out of the car.

2. Stay in a single file line and do not drive around cars in the line.

3. All students should exit out of the passenger side of the car at the curb.

4. When exiting the high school drop off line, please exercise caution as the Middle School staff is arriving to their parking lot next door.

5. If you are waiting for drop off prior to 7:05 am, please park in the main lot. The driveway in the front of the building needs to remain open to traffic.

Please see the following list of fines for broken and/or lost Chromebooks. When a fine is issued for a Chromebook issue, a letter will be sent home to your address on file. All fines must be paid in order for students to participate in after school events including sports, dances, and graduation.
