Middle School Families: As a reminder, we will be resuming face-to-face instruction on Feb 9th for grades 4th through 7th. Thank you for partnering with us during our intermittent remote learning. We are looking forward to seeing our students on Tuesday, Feb 9th.


As a reminder, Friday, Feb 5th, is our last traditional snow day (#6) that has been noted in weekly newsletters and communicated to students by staff. No on-line meets or work is expected to be completed for students. Thank you

Due to an increase in COVID-19-related absences and the resultant lack of staff available to teach in our middle school, on Monday, February 8, the middle school (grades 4-7) will continue the Intermittent Learning schedule they have been following this week. The high school (grades 8-12) will return to face-to-face instruction on Monday.
To recap: Grades 4-7 will not be in school on Monday, February 8. Grades K-3 and 8-12 will be in school. Parents and students, please plan accordingly.

4th Grade welcomed Dr. McDonald to help navigate our students through the wonders of the 👁! One student said, "I thought I would be grossed out, but I am pleasantly satisfied!" ☺ A huge thank you to Swick Custom Butchering of Tustin for the cow eyes and to Dr. McDonald! 🦌💚

Tomorrow is eruption day! Our 6th grade scientists have been learning about plate tectonics and volcanos. Good Luck with your explosions!





7th grade ELA students shared their favorite books of the semester by creating book talks! After reading their novels, they wrote scripts,
practiced presenting, and filmed their final project. Students enjoyed viewing other students’ book talks to find new books they might want
to read. Great Job 7th Grade!

Attention Seniors and Senior Parents:
It is time for you to order your cap & gown and graduation products. The Herff Jones company is the official supplier for Pine River High School’s caps & gowns and graduation products. Please note the cap & gown material from previous years has changed so a borrowed gown will NOT match. Order deadline for cap & gown and graduation orders is January 10, 2021. If you would like to pick up an actual graduation packet to order by mail instead of ordering online they will be available in the High School office Thursday Dec. 3. For any questions about ordering please reach out to our rep. Joe Fox, by email at JFox@herffjones.com or call his office at (989) 773-1337. Please do not call the High School.
