Our students are off to a strong start, working together on WorkPlace Math Tasks and learning important school‑wide routines. The new playground equipment has been a big hit, and students are practicing Voice Levels and APS ROARS throughout the day. We’re excited to see their confidence and teamwork grow each week.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the Community Tailgate last night! What a great opportunity to kick off the new school year!
Missing time in the classroom slows down learning. Let's make every day count toward a bright future!🐾
There is nothing better than seeing our students running, climbing, laughing, and playing together in a space created just for them.
This beautiful new playground was made possible through our community’s support of the school bond. Today, we get to see that investment come to life through the smiles, friendships, and experiences of our students.
Thank you to our community for investing in our schools and, most importantly, in our children. Panther Pride! 🐾

We’re excited to welcome families to a new year at Pine Avenue! Grades 4 and 5 are an important bridge to middle school, and your partnership makes all the difference. Please take a moment to review this week’s newsletter — it’s filled with key updates, reminders, and ways to stay connected throughout the year. https://app.smore.com/n/r5d2wz-pine-panther-family-newsletter
Start the year off strong!
Our staff had a great first week of learning and a huge thanks to our community partners for their support!
Dr. Peggy Yates led our paras through the first session of the Para educator Academy through the Council of Exceptional Children. They learned through engaging activities and real life scenarios.
Our teachers capped off a great week with keynote speaker, Dr. Nancy Frey! Her presentation was a great way to send us into the new year!

As we look back on July, we are proud of all the learning, exploration, and fun our Panther Cubs students experienced throughout the month. Students enjoyed Water Days, explored the cultures and traditions of Brazil, Egypt, Russia, and Japan, participated in hands-on activities, and spent time outdoors enjoying the beautiful summer weather. We were also happy to welcome Miss Lynn back to our program.
This week, students learned about Japan by creating lanterns, exploring cultural traditions, and sharing their enthusiasm for Pokémon through card trading and friendly games. It was a wonderful week filled with creativity, friendship, and learning.
Next week, we will conclude our Around the World summer adventure with a visit to Mexico. It will also be our final week with our school-age summer care students before they return to school. We look forward to celebrating a fantastic summer and making a few more memories together before the school year begins.
Thank you to our families for sharing your children with us this summer. We have loved watching them learn, grow, and create lasting friendships.
