As the weather starts to turn warmer, many children want to play on our playground before school. We kindly as that you DO NOT let your children out of your vehicles prior to an adult being on duty. There is no supervision of studnets prior to 9:00 am each morning.

Additionally, during drop off we will being exiting more than 3 cars at a time. The adult on duty will signal to the driver when it is safe to release children from the vehicle. This process should quicken the drop time and allow our student to be in class prior to the tardy bell.

The School Supply Sale has begun! Please go to shopttkits.com and use our school code #42860. Select the grade your child will be this fall. Once you complete the order, supplies will be delivered directly to the school and will be in your child's classroom for the first day of school. This year, prices remain at $45 (1st -5th grade) and $40 (kindergarten). As a reminder, purchasing supplies through Shopkits is optional. However, this is a great opportunity to have all the supply shopping done so that you don't need to hunt in the stores over the summer! The ordering deadline is June 7th. We do NOT order extra kits so please be sure to place your order in time.

Pinney Elementary will be accepting optional parent input regarding student placement for the 2024 -2025 school year. The teachers of your child's present grade level, the school counselor, support staff, administrative intern and principal will collaborate to form next year's classes. The placement of students into classroom groups for next year is an important task that we take very seriously. Due to the complexity of the classroom placement process, we will NOT accept a parent request of a specific teacher. Please do not request a specific teacher as we simply can not honor them. If you choose, please submit your thoughts and insights via this form no later than Monday, April 15. We will not accept forms after this date. Lastly, any requests made in this document are not guaranteed.

Note: Incoming kindergarten students will be sent a separate form after Kindergarten Information Night.
