Welcome Back Owls
Dear Families,
On behalf of the entire Pine Run staff, we would like to welcome you to the 2020-2021 school year. In this all virtual return, we are so extremely proud of the work our students and teachers did today.
This is a truly unique time. We continue to follow the protocols and procedures put in place by the district, Bucks County Health Department, and CDC . This has made school planning extremely challenging, things are changing very quickly, and we are doing our best to keep everyone informed. Our charge is to continue on our path forward, our staff is well prepared to serve our students and community to the best of our ability.
Today was a great day to be an Owl. Although we faced a few technological challenges our students and teachers were connecting, sharing stories and memories of the summer, and learning new routines. Smiles were found in every classroom. Our teachers, counselors, and support staff worked together to support all students.
Over the next two weeks, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information coming out each day. We will do our best to keep communications clear and concise. We will stress the most important points so you can prioritize the information. I ask you to be patient with us, your children, and yourself. This is a brand new way of doing things, and there will be challenges. We will address your concerns as efficiently as possible. We will work tirelessly to provide your children the best learning experience possible.
#PineRunPride
Sincerely,
Stacey Pedersen

We will have student materials organized by grade. All you need to do is drive up, tell our staff member your child's name, grade, and teacher and they will retrieve your students items. It would be very helpful if you write this information on an index card or Post It and hand it to our staff member, this will aid in moving the cars along more quickly.
All traffic should enter from 202 staying to the right and following the driveway around to the front of the school, much like the device pick up. All traffic will flow one way, pull up to the curb as far as you can. Once you have your materials continue around the perimeter of the parking lot and exit onto 202.
We anticipate having additional material pick ups and will communicate those dates and times to you as they are organized.
Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility.

Pine Run Proud
The Pine Run staff is so appreciative of our office and custodial staff for the work they have done all summer long. This includes Mrs. Fronheiser, our school counselor. They all took on many additional tasks and responsibilities. I am truly grateful for their professionalism and work ethic.
Mr. Reichling and our custodial team made repairs, cleaned our classrooms and halls, and implemented all the Covid-19 heath and safety plan procedures to ensure we maintain a safe school environment. Mrs. Haegele spent many hours preparing schedules, organizing supplies, and welcoming many new Owls to our school. Thank you to our wonderful school team!
Thank You Home and School
