Pine Lane Crew,
Good afternoon, we have conquered another week. I know many surrounding schools have gone into Outbreak Status and so far we have escaped it. This may not always be the case as we navigate this wave of cases. We are seeing high numbers of absences due to illness, so I appreciate your continued vigilance. When we stay home with the onset of symptoms this significantly prevents the spread at school and helps us maintain normal operations.
We have struggled to fill substitutes throughout the week and I am very thankful for those subs that come in almost everyday, our office staff who scramble every morning to make sure every class and duty is covered, and our support staff who have set aside their plans to make sure all students have a teacher for the day. I am so grateful for this amazing Crew, who not only professes the spirit of Crew but live it out in their very character.
As we head into this long weekend reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr.’s efforts to address injustice and bring about meaningful social change, I encourage you to hold conversations with your children as they align with your family’s values connecting to Pine Lane’s mission, Crew, Habits of Character Leadership and Ethical and why we pause to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. At school, we encourage students to view themselves as a leader with the ability to positively impact those around us and do good in the world.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Sincerely,
Chris Stairs
Principal
Pine Lane Elementary
