Hello Pine Hollow Middle School community. This is your principal, Dr. Carrington, with the weekly family message for the week of July 23, 2023!

 

Parent Observer Accounts in Canvas

 

As of the 2023-24  school year, Canvas is the designated learning management system for all students in WCPSS. Parents/guardians who wish to view their student's course content and progress in these courses may do so by creating a Canvas Parent Observer Account. This handout provides step-by-step instructions on how to do this. If you have multiple students, this handout also walks you through linking multiple students to one parent account.

 

Join the PTSA

 

Throughout the year, the PHMS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) supports our school in so many different ways, providing our students and staff with access to many things including but not limited to additional technology tools, field trip grants, teacher grants, staff appreciation lunches, and so much more.

 

If you are looking for a way to support our staff and students and you are able to do so, we invite you to join the Pine Hollow PTSA for as little as $10-$15. For additional information about our PTSA, please view their webpage on our school site.

 

Books for Track-Out!

 

Ms. Ziller encourages all Track 3 students to have a few library books checked out for over track-out—books that students have selected for themselves and are excited about! Books checked out before track-out are due when students track back in. Happy reading!
