Title I School–Home Compact Feedback Meeting
Pine Spring families are invited to join us in the Pine Spring library on Thursday, October 8, from 4:00–5:00 p.m. to share feedback on our Title I School–Home Compact. The compact describes how families, students, and staff work together to support student learning. Your input will help us make sure it reflects the needs of our school community.
Please review Pine Spring’s Title I School–Home Compact before the meeting. We look forward to hearing your ideas!
Pine Spring students will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 30. We anticipate that most students will go home using their regular dismissal route. Childcare will be available until 3:30 p.m. for families who need it.
All families are responsible for sharing their child’s plan for the early release day. If you have not already responded, please submit your plan using this form. Your response helps us plan for childcare and ensure that every student follows the correct dismissal plan.
