A message from Mrs. Beverly, our Art Teacher
Dear Pine Beach Family Members,
By now if you are a Kindergarten to 2nd grade parent you should have received an email from Artsonia asking for your permission to publish your child’s first artwork. All is needed is your permission through the email if you have not signed up in the past. Here is more information about the Artsonia program:
Artsonia is the world’s largest FREE online student art museum! Your child’s artwork will be published on their own individual gallery page to keep their masterpieces in a digital portfolio.
Parents & relatives can view the art online, leave comments, and have the option to order keepsakes with the art imprinted. No purchase required, but if you choose to buy something, Artsonia donates 20% of your purchases back to Pine Beach’s Art program.
Artsonia is iKeepsafe-certified and their website is very safe for kids, schools and parents. Students are identified only by a first name “screenname” (ex: Sarah22). Last names are not publicly posted on the website. All comments are pre-approved by the registered parent before being posted, and all artist statements are approved by the teacher.
Parents with children in grades 3rd to 5th, if you haven’t signed up you should have received an email to sign your child up to their current artist gallery. If you are already signed up, there is no need to sign up again.
Visit www.Artsonia.com/parents or visit our school page here: Artsonia School » Pine Beach Elementary School. We are currently uploading our first round of artwork as the projects become complete and you will be notified by email every time new artwork from your child is added.
Thank you for supporting Pine Beach’s art program!
Mrs. Beverly
Pine Beach Elementary School Art Teacher
Questions?
jbeverly@trschools.com or
info@artsonia.com EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION IN THE PORTAL
You MUST have at least 2 or 3 emergency contacts listed. If you wish that your
child is released only to you or someone designated by you, you must notify the school
office annually that the situation exists. Proper documentation must be filed in your child’s
cumulative folder. If your information changes during the school year, please call the Main
Office. Please make sure that your address is correct in Genesis. If you have moved, you
must contact the Main Office to fill out a change of address form on the TR Schools
website.
You must sign off that you read the PBE handbook.
Our school handbook can be found here
PBE Student Handbook and on our school website. Before the first day of school, plan to read and discuss this handbook with your child.
Then complete the Google Survey on the More tab and click on Scholar and Family Acknowledgement to verify that you have read it. Please continue to check your email prior to the start of school for important information from the district and our school.
Arrival and Dismissal Information
Please find more detailed information in the school handbook. Supervision will not be available for walkers until 9:15 a.m., therefore students should not arrive before then. If you are dropping off in the morning, please do not arrive in the ferry lane before 9:15 a.m. Once students arrive, they should enter the building and line up in the hallway (the faculty will assist them). For pickup, please do not arrive before 3:20 p.m. Arriving too early will cause a backup on Motor Road which causes problems for our community. Please see the linked map for directions. At pickup, parents should wait by their cars and students will be dismissed to you once the teacher makes eye contact. Drop-off/Pick-up Map Please do not come late and cut off the other lanes to leave. If you arrive and all 4 lanes are filled (see the nice visual from a PBE Parent), you will exit after lane 4. The last car in the lane should be able to be parked forward in the lane, not on an angle. Thank you.
