Hello Pine Hollow Middle School community. This is your principal, Andrew Livengood, with the weekly message for June 20. This will be the final weekly message for the 20-21 school year. The next weekly message will be in July.

• Happy Father’s Day to all our fathers and grandfathers!!
• This Week: Tomorrow is the last day of school for this year. We wish our 8^th graders much success in high school!
• EOG Scores: Plan A students were given a letter on Friday to take home and share with parents. This letter contained the student’s Math EOG/EOC score and their Science EOG score (8^th graders only). We won’t have Reading EOG scores until the fall. Parents of students in the VA will receive an email from the student’s HR teacher containing this information.
• Annual WCPSS Student Survey: Parents are asked to please have your child complete the survey found at this link. Student may respond until June 30.
• Information re: 21-22 school year:
• Due to the lingering impact of the pandemic, we will not be doing our traditional “Fly By” schedule pick up and open house.
• All students will be given a copy of their schedule when they come to school on their first day.
• At some point after July 1, Power School will roll over from the 20-21 school year to the 21-22 school year. At that point, students and parents will be able to see schedules for the upcoming school year. That roll-over is controlled by the state (NC DPI), so we don’t know exactly when that will happen.
• Teachers are in the process of creating/revising videos and other “virtual open house” activities that we will use to welcome our students and families.
• Several resources from the 20-21 school year are still available on our website for families who will be brand-new to our school. Just please keep in mind there will be some changes as we move into the new school year. For instance, our Student Services team created a virtual tour that can be seen here: https://sites.google.com/wcpss.net/phms-student-services/virtual-tour?authuser=0. If you go to our website (https://www.wcpss.net/pinehollowms) and click on the “Academics” tab and then each grade level, you can find a lot of useful information.  
• Our student handbook for the 21-22 school year can be seen here: https://www.wcpss.net/domain/10551 
• The first day for students on Tracks 1&3 is Thursday, July 8, and the first day for students on Track 4 is Monday, August 2.

• Enjoy this break over the next couple of weeks as we get ready for the new school year, and remember, at Pine Hollow Middle School the sky is the limit!
