A MESSAGE FROM MR. COLE
Hello Pine Road Families!
Wow, It is hard to believe that the end of the 2022-2023 school year is here already! This will be the second to last Pine Road Express of the year. Thank you to all of our families for working together to make this year a success!
I look forward to seeing many of you at our incredible slate of end-of-year activities over the next few weeks; You will find information about those events included in this edition of the Express. Stay tuned to your inbox and watch for Talking Points messages as more specific details are shared by your classroom teachers.
I wish you all a great last few weeks of the school year and am excited as we start to plan some wonderful things for the 2023-2024 school year as well!

Intergenerational Day
It is hard to say who had more fun at Intergenerational Day this year! The students had a great time learning about the adults in our community, but I think the adults enjoyed sharing just as much!
Dress Code
As we enter warmer weather, it is a great time to review the updated dress code outlined in the Pine Road Handbook for Students and Families. Please remember that it is our goal to have all students get outdoor recess time everyday, so please remain mindful of footwear!
Supporting New Families at Pine Road
In our district, we are lucky to have students and families who are from diverse cultures. Did you know that in our district, we have over 30 languages spoken?
To better support our new families, we would like to invite you to participate in serving as a mentor. As a mentor, you would be responsible for explaining school routines and special events and answering any questions that arise.
For those families who do not speak English as their native language, working with a mentor family who speaks the same language could be very helpful in learning to navigate our school system.
If you are interested in volunteering your time, please complete THIS form. New families would contact you upon their arrival to the district.
Cafeteria Reminder
Lunch menus are posted on a new interactive website, Nutrislice. Our innovative and interactive site and mobile app make our school menus more convenient and informative than ever before! Download the Nutrislice App from the App Store or get it on Google Play and search Lower Moreland.
Friendly reminder that the universal free lunch has ended, however starting October 1st free breakfast will be returning! Students that would like a free breakfast in the morning will walk straight to the cafeteria upon arrival. Students can eat breakfast in the cafeteria and granola bars, muffins, and cereal bars are also available if your student would like to save their breakfast for snack time.
Information on the Free or Reduced Lunch Prices can be found on the nutrition page on our LMTSD website.
