The PRHS Outdoor Environmental Science class completed their Fall Camping Trip to the school’s property at Woodpecker Flats. Students worked in small groups to build shelters from specific terrains around the world. Throughout the next few days, they will create an informative presentation including pictures of their shelter and real shelters from their specific area. The students definitely worked hard on their projects, but they also had time to play a good ole game of hide & seek in the dark, make s’mores (one student had never had one before!) and hobo pies, played Euchre and Uno, and sat around the bonfire listening to music and chatting. They were thankful and appreciative of the opportunity to go on the trip. Kudos to Mr. Thompson for all of his hard work prepping food and organizing the trip!

Dear PRAS Parents/Guardians,
Subject: Changes to Bus Pass Availability for the 2023-2024 School Year
Pine River Area School District is off to a great start of the 2023-2024 school year. Though we want to bring to your attention an important update regarding our bus transportation services.
Due to the shortage of bus drivers and reduction of routes, our buses are at full capacity. As a result, we are compelled to suspend the issuance of bus passes until further notice. This decision has been made with the safety and well-being of our students as our top priority. We understand that this may pose an inconvenience for some families, and we apologize for any disruption this may cause.
We are actively recruiting bus drivers, so if you know of anyone who would like to work part time as a bus driver, we currently offer the pay rates of $18.50 - $23.00 per hour. We will re-evaluate the bus pass situation if we are able to add additional routes in the future and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through this situation together.
In addition, we are also looking to hire substitute employees to work on occasion as a substitute food service cashier or cook, custodian or paraprofessional. This is a great opportunity for parents or retirees looking to earn a little extra doing something very important for our students and entire school community. If interested, please contact the Central Office at 231-829-3841, Ext. 1.
Thank you for your continued support of Pine River Area Schools. Go Bucks!
Sincerely,
Michelle Gill
Superintendent
