Pinney Post

Thank you to all the families who made it to curriculum night this week. We loved having the opportunity to have you in the building and to share what your child will be learning this year.

Our teachers have been busy learning new systems such as Infinite Campus and assessments like mClass, since the school year has started. Our staff is dedicated to continuing our growth as educators to meet the needs of each of our students.

This year all Dublin City Schools students will learn the R-Factor. We kicked off this learning with an assembly and classroom activities this week. The R-Factor equips our students with the mindset and skill set to be intentional about the way they think and respond to events in their lives. The R-Factor is a simple equation. E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome). Students will learn that they cannot always control events that happen in their lives, but they can control how they respond in order to get the outcomes that they want. The R-Factor helps our students communicate, make decisions, manage their emotions, and interact with others positively.

The school store is opening next week! This year the store will be open during lunch/recess on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. There will still be a spending limit at $5 per student.

Below is a sign up if you want to help with the store. There are a limited number of spots to sign up so if you could please limit yourself to one spot.

Hello Families! Cub Scout Pack 888 would like to extend a welcome to your child in joining our pack for the upcoming school year!
