A MESSAGE FROM MR. COLE
Hello Pine Road Families!
Welcome to December! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving and enjoyable Chanukah for those who celebrate. November seemed to go by like a flash! In addition to some time to rest and connect with loved ones, I hope that you have had the opportunity to meet or talk with your child’s teacher and have a good idea of how your student is doing with their school progress.
With the recent revocation of the PA masking order, the safety of our students, staff, and families continues to be of the utmost importance. Our district safety plan has established clear metrics and practices that have supported a safe in-person learning environment and will remain in place essentially unchanged.
We are excited for the return of in-person winter musical performances this year! On Monday, Dec. 20th, the Pine Road Choral Concert will be held at Lower Moreland High School! We look forward to seeing you there at 7:00 pm!
Lastly, the cold weather has (sort of) arrived! Please be sure that your children come to school prepared to go outside for their recess and PE class. Students WILL be going outside as often as possible. Students will not be allowed to stay indoors because they are not appropriately dressed, so please have coats, hats, and gloves ready!
Sincerely,
Scott Cole
Principal

January Service Learning
Our Pine Road School community has the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. During the month of January, we will collect personal hygiene items for Face to Face in Germantown.
“At Face to Face struggling families, individuals, and the homeless are welcomed and treated with dignity and respect. Our goal is to meet basic human needs and reduce suffering; thereby assisting our guests to a better future. Face to Face serves 2,500 annually and has been a stable presence in Germantown for over 20 years.“ – Face to FaceSee the linked letter for more information.
First View Application
Lower Moreland Township School District has partnered with FirstView which is an app for parents that allows for direct access to the status of your child’s bus. FirstView GPS tracks the bus on a map and allows you to set up a customizable geofence around your pick-up/drop-off location, so you can be alerted when the bus is close. You can customize your notifications on the app. This is a free app for parents that can be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Here are the instructions for getting started with the app: FirstView Bus App. The instruction sheet has the district code and a list of the bus routes that are needed to register. Using this app is optional. The district will continue to send Connect Ed notifications about the status of bus changes or significant delays.
