DISCOVERING STRENGTHS AND PURSUING DREAMS

Straight from heart of Mrs. Riedl

Pine Island Families,


THANK YOU for helping make our 1st week of school FINTASTIC! Your patience and support during arrival and dismissal were the difference in ensuring students arrived on time and were dismissed in a timely manner.


Due to an increase in number of buses we have had to re-arrange some of our dismissal, however, last week, we released buses in record time and still had carters/walkers/bikers out the door quickly.


I will not allow our carters/bikers/walkers to come out the doors while buses are moving! Our dismissal will only become more effective and efficient with time and your continued support!


Please make sure you read through the Family News as it has important information for all families!


As a reminder, the Family News is structured in sections to help navigate the most important information for families.

  • School wide news
  • K - 5 news
  • Middle School news
  • Middle School Athletics news
  • PTO Highlights 


It is great to be a Pine Island Dolphin!


Mrs. Riedl, Principal

Please read through each section of the NEWSplash to ensure you have all the details.
