Spring Picture Day:

Spring Picture Day is Wednesday, April 3rd.  A class picture will be taken on that day, and your child's individual picture will be taken too. 

If you would like a class picture (this is the whole group photo), you must order and pay for it before Picture Day.  I sent an order form home in yesterday's Thursday folder for the class picture.  You can fill out the order form, include payment, and return the payment envelope to school, or you can order and pay online.  If you order and pay online, you must return the payment envelope to school with the online payment confirmation code written on the envelope. This means that by Wednesday, April 3rd, you should return either the payment envelope with payment inside, or the payment envelope with the online payment confirmation code written on it. If you do not order a class photo by Wednesday, April 3rd, you will NOT receive one. 

Individual pictures will also be taken April 3rd. If you would like to purchase individual pictures, you will purchase those AFTER you receive the picture packet.

Yearbooks:

Pinebrook yearbooks are on sale now!  Please see yesterday's Thursday folder for additional information. Yearbooks may only be purchased online.  To purchase a yearbook, go to ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter school code 7561119.  You will be prompted through the order and payment process.  The deadline to order a yearbook is April 28th.  You must pre-order a yearbook if you would like your child to receive one.  

Camp STEAM-tacular:

Camp STEAM-tacular is coming to Pinebrook this summer.  The following is an announcement from the Camp STEAM-tacular team:

"Join Pinebrook Elementary this summer for Camp STEAM-tacular!
