Reminder: Pine Hill Photos
Our Hanlon campus Instructional Technology Coach, Mr. Goguen, filmed a new, wonderful drone video of the exterior of the new Pine Hill School building (Thank you so much, Mr. Goguen!). In addition, Mr. Baumer took some updated photos of all/most of the interior spaces.
To access the video and photos, please click on the following link: The New Pine Hill School (Mr. Baumer will work on labeling and organizing the photos, so they are more user-friendly. They are not yet in order.)
Reminder: Pine Hill Site Council
We are looking for Pine Hill parents to serve on the Pine Hill Site Council this year. The Pine Hill Site Council is a school advisory group that is composed of parents, teachers, and community members. The council members assist the principal in: 1) Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards, 2) identifying the educational needs of students attending the school, 3) reviewing the annual school building budget, and 4) discussing a school improvement plan.
The Pine Hill Site Council meets several times throughout the year. Our meetings are usually held on the second Monday of the month from 3:30pm - 4:30pm. Please contact Mr. Baumer if you are interested in serving on the Pine Hill Site Council during the 2023-2024 school year.
