March 13 is a school make up day! School will be in session following the Friday early release schedule.

Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and put your student behind in school. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school. Be a #HERO...Here Everyday Ready On Time!

Please join us on Thursday, February 6 from 6:00-7:30 for Pinewood’s Reading Night. There will be different activities – such as reading with rover – reading to real live dogs, book making sessions, read aloud stations and parents can learn about Imagine Learning and tips for reading at home. Activities will take place in the A, B, C, and D Units, the Art Room and the Library. We will have maps available for you that evening.
Students may bring gently used books to school before reading night to exchange for other books. You may bring as many books as you like, but may take home up to five “new” books.
We look forward to seeing you there!
