Many Thanks Parents of Pinnacle!

The Pinnacle Faculty would like to thank our Parents of Pinnacle (POP) for the wonderful lunch and gift honoring Teacher Appreciation Week. It is so nice to know that we are a community working together to educate our children. The things POP did for National Teacher Appreciation Week was very much appreciated and we thank you for all you do for Pinnacle.

 

The PHS-ITC Garden Project

Have you heard? Pinnacle is looking to create a really great outdoor educational space. Discover our plan to provide a wonderful new and unique learning environment; the PHS-ITC Garden Project. This is more than just pretty plants; this is a multi-use area that is really an extension of the library, which will be available to all classes! The Garden Project includes an outdoor amphitheater, and much more. Click here to check out our website and find out how you can help.

Printer Cartridge Collection

If you are replacing your printer’s cartridge, bring your old cartridge to your school nurse. Every type is accepted.  These cartridges will be turned over to STARS Foundation.  This is a sheltered workshop for persons with various disabilities.  With your donation you are keeping the cartridges out of our landfills and providing valuable work for the STARS consumers.  If you have any questions, you can call your school  nurse Linda Moskowitz, RN at (480)419-4414 or Dr. Bast at (480)367-5813 at North Ranch Elementary.

Family Connection

Family Connection from Naviance, is a web-based service designed especially for students and parents to use for researching colleges, signing up for college visits, and getting involved in the planning and advising of their high school courses, colleges and careers. Family Connection is linked with Counselor's Office, a service that counseling can use to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that's specific to our school. Family Connection also let's us share information with you and your child about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opprtunities, and other web resources for college and career information.
