February Newsletter
Pine Street Elementary
Our second trimester ends on February 26th. Hopefully, winter will end then, too! Stay safe and warm in February. Happy Valentine's Day!
Spirit Days
Feb 11 - Celebrate Valentine's Day (Wear red, pink, and/or hearts)
Feb 26 - Polar Bear Day (Wear a bear or bring a bear)
Feb 29 - My Many Colored Days (wear colors by grade: 1-yellow, 2-blue, 3-red, 4-green, 5-orange)
Morning Drop-off
The exterior doors to the gym are located in the rear parking lot. Unfortunately, the lot is not large enough to accommodate morning drop off in front of the doors without also blocking staff traffic into the lot for parking purposes. I am sure it is difficult to discern whether a car is operated by another parent or a staff member. Please note: our staff members have a sign on their dashboard that indicates they are a staff member trying to get into the lot to park. When you see this sign (bright yellow smiley face), please let the staff member in, so he/she can begin to prepare for your children. Also, please consider dropping off on the street instead of pulling into the lot. There is contiguous sidewalk from many locations to the entrance. Thank you!
