DISCOVERING STRENGTHS AND PURSUING DREAMS

Straight from heart of Mrs. Riedl

Dear Dolphin Families,

Welcome Back Dolphins!

DON'T FORGET NO SCHOOL on Friday, March 29.

As we begin to prepare for testing. I would like to encourage you to please review the testing calendar and parent letters found on our Pine Island Academy Website! This will help our families prepare accordingly and assure students are prepared and in attendance on testing day.

However, we KNOW that our students and staffulty have worked hard all year and from the data that we have received this year, our students are achieving at very high levels. I would ask that as we encourage our students to continue to work hard and always do their best, please do not add additional pressure to your kiddos during this testing season!

Our students are prepared and READY! We are so excited for them to SHOW what they KNOW!

Testing Information – Pine Island Academy (stjohns.k12.fl.us)

Our 4th - 8th grade students kick off testing in April with Writing!
