Pine Island Families,

Please help me welcome Mr. Dylan Boas as our new Counselor. Mr. Boas most recently has served in Duval Public Schools as a Middle School Counselor. He brings a great depth of knowledge with him and is very excited about working with our students. He started last week meeting jumping right in to support students and staffulty.

He will also serve as the 2nd grade Counselor. Please help me welcome Mr. Boas!

Additionally, we're excited to announce the launch of PIA's Student Council! Student officers have been elected for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and we can't wait to see what they accomplish together.
