Pine Island Parent Press
October 2017
From The Principal's Desk....
We are definitely in the swing of things here at Pine Island. The classrooms are full of activity with the students busy learning new and exciting things. Take a moment to enjoy the changes of the season with your child.
Be on the lookout for some parent activities coming out this month! Take some time to enjoy each others company!
Parent involvement in your child's education is the number one factor for your child's school success. You are encouraged to become an active member in our school community. If you can spare time to assist in your child's classroom, help with our PTO, or any other support, we would greatly appreciate it! Let's work together to make this year the best over!!

Halloween Costumes
As you begin to prepare for the upcoming Halloween activities at Pine Island, please use the following guidelines for costume selection. Halloween is a festive time and we want our students to enjoy the day and evening. We ask that when you prepare your child’s costume, please do not create a costume that glorifies violence. Weapons such as guns, knives, swords, etc. will not be allowed at school. Choose a Halloween costume that can be enjoyed by all. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
Conferences will be taking place on the following days:
Tuesday- October 17 4-7:30pm

We will be using Sign Up Genius again for scheduling. Once that is set up, you will get more information and the link to access it.
If you need any assistance, please contact your child’s teacher or the office and we would be happy to help.
