We are excited for all that this new month brings for Pine Ridge, and I hope to see most of you at parent-teacher conferences this month! I pray that during this Lent season you are able to reflect on God’s goodness. May His blessings be upon each of you.
In partnership with you,
Dinah

Tulip Time ’23
An email was sent out on February 13th asking for your child’s preference for the Tulip Time parade this year. If you have not already filled it out, please fill out this Tulip Time Survey so we can make sure we are prepared with the correct props.
Hearing and Vision Screening
The Allegan County Health Department will be in our school March 6-8 for Hearing and Vision Screening for all students. If your child wears glasses, please be sure he/she has them at school. If you prefer to not have your child screened, please stop in the office by Wednesday, March 1, 2023 to fill out the provided opt-out form that provides documentation of a recent screening elsewhere.

We hope to get registrations open soon but need the volunteers first.
