Students are urged to arrange all appointments at hours that are not in conflict with school time. Parents must come in to have their child released from school. Phone calls, faxes, or notes will not be accepted as an alternative to release a student. Failure to do so will result in the student not being released.

NO STUDENTS WILL BE RELEASED UNLESS THE PERSON SIGNING STUDENT OUT IS ON THE EMERGENCY CONTACT CARD, HAS PROPER IDENTIFICATION, I.E.

All Politics is Local:

Meet the Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay Candidates at our 1st PTSA Meeting.

On Sep 11th, you'll have the opportunity to meet most, if not all, of the candidates for the open positions in our closest municipalities. They will be at our first PTSA meeting to listen and learn about our plans and challenges, so be sure to tell them what's important to you and your family.

This is a great way to put a face (and more important, positions on issues) with the names on the yard signs sprouting up across the Villages. No candidate will address our group formally, but they will be available to chat with parents before and after the meeting.

In the Village of Pinecrest, there are four candidates vying for two open council seats, and a total of nine candidates in Palmetto Bay for mayor and two council seats.

School Store:

We just received our new baseball-style, uniform-compliant t-shirts. They will be selling like hotcakes in 305b from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm every day.
