Parents As Reading Partners (PARP)

Research shows that the activity that consistently proves increased student achievement is for parents (or grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) to read with, to, and in front of their children.

With the upcoming PTA-sponsored 3 week PARP program, you will have a motivating reason to do just that.

Toward the end of March, you will see the PARP committee transform our hallways into visuals of this year’s theme, Reading Can Energize You! These artistic parents are award-winning in their displays, but even more importantly, in presenting a challenging and motivating way to have a quality reading experience with your child. They will clearly lay out how everyone can participate.

Watch for their weekly guides and incentives. It’s another area where the challenge will be for 100 percent participation of this family-school connection.

Pine Island Elementary School: bully-free zone

We are turning a spotlight on Pine Island as a bully-free environment. Students are creating posters to show what that means. The Student Government will turn them into a giant collage on stage, where we will turn our spotlights’ focus for all to brightly see.

Some of us slip now and then, but we are each trying to understand the benefits of treating each other with respect—of our bodies and our feelings.

On Leap Day, February 29, we will have a pleasant celebration of the ways we treat each other.

black dirt dragon surfaces for the chinese new year

Our kindergarten classes always welcome the Chinese New Year with lots of music, eating with chopsticks, Chinese writing, and a welcoming Gung Hay Fat Choy. This year, they welcomed the Year of the Rat by marching under the Black Dirt Dragon throughout the hallways of Pine Island School. We also appreciated that Josie Genetti shared her culture with them through a traditional song.
