We're off to a great start this year! It has been so wonderful to see the students returning to the classrooms, making new friends, laughing, and jumping back into the routines of school. Both schools had a great turnout for our Back to School Night this past week as well.

We appreciate your assistance and patience as we iron out our procedures and routines, and your feedback is welcomed. Please contact either school's office if you have any feedback or questions. Thank you!

All of us at Pine Hil & South Bay are looking forward to working with you to develop the best school experience possible for your child and family. When families are involved in education, there are significant benefits for students. Students demonstrate more positive attitudes toward school and learning, higher achievement and test scores, improved behavior, increased homework completion, greater participation in academic activities, and improved school attendance.

Monday is the district's early-out day to allow for teacher PD. Monday school is in session from 8:25-12:50. Tuesday-Friday school is in session from 8:25-2:30 at Pine Hill and 8:25-3:10 at South Bay.

Both campuses will be open for student arrival at 7:45, with free breakfast available for all students. Explore After School Program will be open until 6 pm at Pine Hill and 6:10 at South Bay.

Pine Hill's handbook is currently being translated and will be available soon. See Pine Hill's English handbook and both of South Bay's below.

If you haven't done so already, please take a few moments to complete all the first day paperwork and return to the school office ASAP. This information helps the school to ensure we have proper contact information, allows students to use the computers and check out library books, as well as how we can best support your student and family throughout the school year. Thank you for making the completion of these forms a priority.

Below is the application for this year's Explore after school program. If you would like your child to attend, please complete the application as soon as possible. Spots are limited and are not guaranteed.
