Pine Lane Crew,
The warmer weather has been wonderful and it has been great to see the students running around outside. I want to send out another huge congratulations to our 5/6 Battle of the Books team who have been crowned Parker Regional Champions and earned their way into the district finals. It has been exciting to watch them compete and we are very proud of their accomplishment. Music and PE have collaborated for a Dance Week unit, the first week of this unit culminated today with a performance from each class. This week many classrooms participated in Read Across America and celebrated the legacy of Dr. Seuss. Reading is such an important skill that transcends all disciplines and ensuring that all our Crew are equipped with the skills to fluently read and comprehend all text is critically important to our staff. Lastly, remember that the Science and Engineering Fair is quickly approaching. Please have your child register their project here: Science and Engineering Fair. We cannot wait to see what our Crew create!
Every spring we seek your feedback on your perception of how we are doing as a school, your intention to return to Pine Lane in the fall, and input from families concerning your child’s class placement.
We would like for each family to complete our 2021-22 Feedback Survey. The data from this survey will help guide our improvement efforts. We really want to hear from all voices and will push hard to get more than 250 responses. We have combined this survey with recruiting SAC and PTO members. This year we have one parent position and a community member seat open for SAC. For PTO, we are also seeking nomination for the Executive Board Position of Secretary. You will also have the ability to nominate Certified Staff and Volunteers for our PAWsitive Influence Awards. This nomination form is embedded in this survey. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. We greatly appreciate it.
As we head into the 4th quarter of the year we begin to create our class rosters for the following year. This is a significant process that includes you, your child’s teachers, administration, and support staff. Our goal is to establish the best possible combination of students for each class. To help with this we ask that you complete this form: 2022-23 Intent to Return and Parent Input. We do need you to fill out the first part of the form for each of your children. Please note that we cannot honor specific teacher requests and requests for specific teachers should not be part of this information. This information is critically important to our ability to plan for next year.
We are so grateful for all of you! Your continued support of our mission to empower excellence in character, achievement, and contribution to a better world. I am so impressed that after one day our Silent Auction has earned over $3800. We are so excited to get this turf installed. Our goal for this fundraiser is $15,000. Also, thank you all for your contribution to our Pine Lane Blood Drive in collaboration with Vitalint. Here are our PLE Swag winners are Janice Stone, Kim Galesic, Serenity Hayes, and Killian Wade. We will get in touch with you to get your shirt size. If you are still interested you can continue to sign up through Vitalant’s website.
Don’t forget that next week is Parent/Teacher Conferences and then we are headed into Spring Break!
Have a great weekend!
