Pine Street Elementary
September 2024
Principal's Corner
The first two weeks of our learning adventure have been fantastic. The first week of school was spent getting to know our classmates and teachers as well as learning expectations and procedures here at Pine Street. Time was also spent doing team-builders within homeroom classes, with their switch/team classroom, and as a grade level. The week ended with a special treat from our WIPTO parent organization. We culminated our activities with a whole school picture on the playground. Go Wildcats!
NWEA testing started this past week and will conclude the week of September 9th. The NWEA test is given three times a year to monitor students growth throughout the year and help guide teachers instruction to meet the needs of our students. This fall we will be taking the Reading and Math tests. Teachers will be letting students and parents know what days they are testing. Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.
We are looking forward to wonderful year here at Pine Street Elementary. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
