“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:5.
I have watched as our Pine Ridge family has grown together in learning and servanthood this year. We have been blessed to serve our community over 50 times as individual classes, grade levels and a whole school. It has been a joy to see students flourish and find their place in our community. I pray that as school days turn to summer we would hold on to the moments of joy and laughter that were experienced this year. It is bittersweet to say goodbye to our 5th graders, but they will blossom under our amazing middle school team. I am excited to welcome our new 3rd graders as they make this. next step. I am grateful for a community that cares for each other and leans on the goodness of God and his faithfulness. I hope you have an amazing summer!
In Christ,
Dinah Pereira

Medical Paperwork 25-26
Any medication prescription or OTC including an inhaler needs a signed form from the doctor before the first day of school.
Waiver Information:
If your child with a waiver is returning to Holland Christian for the 25-26 school year and moving between grades (kindergarten-5th), your current waiver on file is good unless you have chosen to complete a vaccine series during the year that was waived on the waiver. This does include moving between Holland Christian Schools (Forest School, Pine Ridge, South Side and Rose Park).
If your child is a new student coming to HC from a different school district, your old waiver is invalid and you will need to schedule an appointment.
Please have all new student paperwork turned in before August 8th. This gives the office time to process everything before the 1st day. If your child doesn’t have their forms turned in, they will not permitted to start on August 19th.
