Better Together: 4th Grade Service Project

Our Pinney 4th Graders are Springing into Action by partnering with One Dublin to help families in our community going through a difficult time. One Dublin supports families experiencing an unplanned disruption to their daily lives. Our 4th graders are collecting outdoor toys to help brighten the day of the children impacted. We are asking Pinney families to consider donating one or more of the following outdoor items listed below. Students may bring these items to school and place them in boxes set up in the main hallway from April 1-12. We are better together and appreciate your continued support!

  • Sidewalk chalk

  • Bubbles

  • Kites

  • Nerf balls

  • Throw/catch games (velcro, scoop/basket)

  • Wiffle bat/ball

  • Jump ropes

  • Footballs

  • Basketballs

  • Soccer balls

Take Responsibility: School Supply Sales

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.


Always Growing: Optional Parent Input Form For Class Placement 2024-2025

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.
