Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
Welcome to a brand new school year full of exciting new opportunities to enhance the whole child working on both academic and affective needs. I am extremely excited to serve as your new Principal! I will be working diligently with the faculty and staff at Pine View Middle to increase partnerships with our parents, families, and community while striving for excellence in education with highly qualified teachers, rigorous and challenging curriculum, and a faculty and staff who truly care about our students and school.
Along with high quality and rigorous Louisiana State Standards, academics are balanced with extra-curricular activities and clubs that enhance the middle school experience. Students have an opportunity to participate in a multitude and variety of students clubs and committees. This year, we will be offering: Art Club, National Student Council, National Elementary Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, National Jr. Beta Club, Tigerettes Spirit Squad, Girls on the Run, 4-H, Band, Jazz Band, Yoga, Book Club, Kiwanis Builders Club, FLL Robotics, Yearbook Club, Drama Club, Sign Language Club, ESL Morning Club, and Chorus. I hope you have the chance to talk with your child to trying out for different clubs to enhance their middle school experiences here at Pine View.
Educational experiences are enhanced and supported with technology. All 4th - 6th grade students will have one to one Chromebooks starting this school year. Students will complete all of their learning tasks on their Chromebooks with other core subjects’ tasks, along with an option to be take their Chromebooks home to continue their learning.
Communication is key to staying connected to our school and to your child’s teachers. All 4th grade students will have agendas to serve as a valuable tool in teaching students organizational skills as well as a communication tool. Stay informed with all of the events happening at school by connecting to our school’s website and teachers’ webpages. Important information will be shared through weekly RoboCalls, fliers, teacher websites in parent portal, our school website, emails, and SMS text messages on your phones throughout the school year.
As we are planning many family involvement activities this year to bring the school community together, please continue to support our school in our quest to better the quality of your child’s middle school years. We cannot do this journey without the support of our parents/guardians. I thank you in advance for all you have done and will continue to do to work with your child.
