Student Class Assignments
At Pine Street students are assigned to a homeroom teacher and a switch teacher. One teacher will teach language arts and social studies and the other teacher will teach math and science. Students spend about half of their day with each teacher. There is one 3 man team in the 5th grade that will run slightly differently. If your child is on that team (Adams, Cross, and Oostindie) Mrs. Adams teaches language arts, Mr. Oostinidie teaches math and Mrs. Cross teaches social studies and science.
Parents can check Parent Portal after 4:00 PM on August 16th to find your child's homeroom and switch teachers.First Day of School
- The first day of school is scheduled for Monday, August 26, 2019
- The school day begins at 7:30 a.m. and will end at 2:30 p.m.
- The front doors will be open at 7:00 a.m. Students that arrive at this time are asked to stay in the hallway by the office.
- If you drop your students in the morning please drop them on the south side of Pine Street so they do not have to cross the road. The line becomes long so please have them ready to exit when you pull to a safe place to drop. If dropping on the north side of Pine Street please have them use the crossing guard. This is for their safety.
- For information concerning your child’s bus schedule, please look at the transportation tab on your Parent Portal.
Breakfast, Lunch Schedule and Snacks
Breakfast is served every morning from 7:20-7:30. Students that eat breakfast are released from the bus and entry hallway early in order to get their breakfast.
Students will have about a 20 minute lunch period and 20 minute recess each day. Half of each grade level will eat at one time while the other half are at recess the then they switch. This is based on your student's homeroom teacher.

You can find information about your student's lunch account on Parent Portal and breakfast and lunch menus on the school web-page.

School Supplies
- Gym Shoes: The Pine Street gym is across the road from the school building. In order to ensure only dry shoes are on the gym floor, every Pine Street student will need to bring in a pair of gym shoes for PE class.
- Calculator (5th grade only)- Calculators should be scientific but do not need to be graphing. Texas Instruments Calculators are suggested (TI-30Xa or the TI-30X llS). These calculators can typically be found at stores such as Target, Walmart and Meijer ranging in price from $9.00- $12.00.
