Important Dates and A Peek At Our Week

Happy Friday!

We're back in the swing of things with school! It's like we never left! All the students seem to be doing very well and adjusting to a new classroom and a new teacher! I couldn't ask for anything more!


MAP TESTING
MAP testing will begin next week. It's a new computer assessment that Pinebrook has adopted to assess each students areas of strengths and weaknesses in reading and math. These assessments are done on the computer and will give us immediate feedback on where we need to focus instruction for each individual child. These results are not to be used as any type of grade or information that will come home, it's primarily to help teachers know what to focus on with each student.

DEN RALLY
We had our first "Den Rally" today!  It's a new assembly format Mr. Thiessen introduced this year as a way to build community and better connect our teachers and students.  Once a month or so, the whole school gathers in the gym for a short morning assembly during which we listen to the school news, say the pledge together, recite the "Puma Creed", learn about social skills, and generally celebrate being part of our AWESOME Pinebrook community.  Please ask your child about our Den Rally from this morning!
