Track Construction to Begin
Our contractor is set to break ground on the new concrete track this month!  This is a long time coming, and I can't wait to see the finished product later this summer.  If you purchased a paver, those will also be installed this summer along with the track.  There will be additional opportunities to purchase pavers in the fall so that you too can make leave your mark at Pin Oak.

The athletic fields will be closed once the construction begins around May 14, 2018.

Big thanks to the many families who made this possible!

School Effectiveness Survey for Parents
Each year we ask for your feedback on how we are doing at Pin Oak.  Please take time to complete the parent survey.  Students will be completing a survey at school.  

You provide important information that helps us continue to grow and develop!  You may access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7C2NRL6 

Summer Reading List is Now Available!
Summer Reading Lists will be distributed this week during ELA classes for current 6th and 7th graders!  Students will have two choices for the whole school read and will be able to choose a second book from the Choice List.  We have a great list this year!

Barnes & Noble Partners Up With Pin Oak!
The summer book fair at Barnes and Noble will run from May 14-18!  You can purchase summer reading books from Barnes and Noble (online or in the store) and part of your purchase goes back to Pin Oak!  

Join us on May 16th during the Barnes and Noble Book Fair for Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A!  Make it dinner and shopping in the neighborhood- Buffalo Speedway & Holcombe!

Yearbooks Are Here!

Avenue B
