Pinney Post

Today we conducted one of our state mandated safety drills. The type of drill we practiced today was a “Secure Protocol”. In this type of drill, we secure the building, and lock all outside access points (which our outside doors are always locked). This type of drill is used when there is a threat outside the building (ex. safety concern in the neighborhood). If students are outside, they are required to come inside. When the drill was announced, teachers shut their classroom doors and classroom activities continued uninterrupted. Once staff checked the building and determined that protocols were being followed, the drill concluded. We are happy to report that our staff and students did an outstanding job.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who attended parent-teacher conferences. Your active participation in your child's education is greatly appreciated. We know that our home-school partnership is critical to each student's success.

Members of our 5th grade take turns each month being part of our safety patrol. Our safety patrol welcomes students as they enter the school each morning and tells students good bye each day. In addition, they encourage our students to walk and make safe choices during arrival and dismissal.

To honor our veterans, we are planning a Veterans Day assembly at Pinney on November 10. As part of our assembly, we would like to invite veterans with a connection to our students (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, neighbor, etc) to attend the assembly. Due to limited space, we are asking for no more than two veterans per student attend the assembly. For planning purposes, we would like for you to RSVP your veteran using this button below. Please complete the survey by October 27.
