PINE STREET PRESS
SEPTEMBER 2020
We have had a fantastic first couple weeks of school at Pine Street. The first week of school was spent getting to know each other and learning new procedures to help keep us all healthy and safe. Time was also spent doing team-builders in homeroom classes and going over expectations for positive student behavior.
Students and teachers have also spent the first two weeks learning and practicing how to navigate our hybid schedule with in person learning, remote learning and live lessons on Wednesday. Students have learned all about their Google Classroom and have practiced logging into and using many of the apps they will be using at home. Everyone is doing a fantastic job and together we will make this an amazing school year!
NWEA testing will begin the week of September 14th and conclude the week of September 28th. The NWEA test is given three times a year to monitor students growth throughout the year and help guide teachers instruction to meet the needs of our students. This fall we will be taking the Reading and Math tests. Teachers will be letting students and parents know what days they are testing. Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.
We are looking forward to wonderful year here at Pine Street Elementary. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
