A big PIRATE congratulations goes out to our Varsity Pom Team as they became the GRAND Champions at the Midwest Regional Competition in Chicago! This is the first time in the 28 years our girls have been traveling to this event that they have earned the title of GRAND Champions. In addition, our JV Squad took first in their division. Equally important, the girls earned the Betsy Carr Sportsmanship Award, which is such a strong reflection of the positive culture and expectations that exists within the team. This is a great accomplishment by a great group of young ladies and the coaches who are mentoring them. GO PIRATES!!
Exciting morning for our kindergarteners as they learned about bus safety and took their first ride on a Pinckney bus! Thank you parents for spending time with us and hope you enjoyed the bus ride as well!
Love our new postcard! Although we in Pinckney Community Schools have always known how special our district is, we also are aware that many are not familiar with many of the great opportunities we offer, both academically and extra-curricular and our goal is to make certain that changes. "Think you know Pinckney Community Schools?"
Great evening with new Country Elementy principal, Ruth Badalucco, who treated our incoming kindergartners and their families to hotdogs, a bouncy house and a trip to Captain Frosty's. Going to be a great year!
What a great day of learning, connecting, and planning with PCS Administrators!!! Bring in the new school year!
A very informative evening tonight at Jane Tasch as over 200 participants listened to and shared information about PFAS in Livingston County lakes and rivers. Thank you to @repslotkin and the team of experts for their commitment in helping keep our communities safe.
I am honored to be representing Pinckney Schools as I share our story of challenges, resilience, innovation and perseverance with Upper Michigan School Board members at the Dept. of Treasury Conference in Traverse City. #pinckneypride
Wishing Mr. Ozias, Mr. Jerome and our New Tech students safe travels as they visit Europe, exploring the rich cultures and history they have previously only studied in texts. Can't wait to see the projects you will present after this great experience!
We are so excited to announce the hiring of Basia Kiehler as our new Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment. Mrs. Kiehler has spent the past 4 years as principal of Hawkins Elementary in Brighton and has served in various curriculum leadership roles that includes a professional development facilitator, literacy instructional coach and assessment coordinator for WISD (Washtenaw Intermediate School District). Her strong leadership, passion for learning and inspiring nature will no doubt help us in reaching the high expectations we have for academic achievement. Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Kiehler to our Pirate Family! (Mrs. Kieler is pictured below with the poke-a-dot shirt, along with our Board of Education).
Our kiddos are having a great time at Pirate Camp as today, they walked the Lakeland Trails to go swimming at our Complex Gym and then were treated to.a late afternoon snack. #Piratesummer
Enjoying the fun at Country Elementary's field day festivities, although the weather today required everyone to be flexible, but the kids didn't mind as they had a great time!
We are always looking at ways to spruce up some areas around the district and given that the Complex Gym area is one of most widely used spaces for our community, we thought we would start here by representing some Pirate Pride. Looks fantastic!
A BIG "Thank You!" goes out to our HS PTO for raising the funds for the new skins that will welcome students, parents and visitors to our beautiful school. It looks fantastic!
Great fun being had today at both Navigator and Farley Hill's field day activities. I especially loved seeing Farley Hill's principal, Yvonne Taylor being squirted by her lovely students. #endofyearfun
Congratulations to our Graduating Class of 2019! As I stated in my opening address to the students, you have been and will always be part of our Pirate Family and we will continue encouraging, supporting and cheering for you as you enter the next chapter of your story.
It's almost time! #PCSfamily #classof2019
In just less than 2 hours, we will be sending off the Class of 2019! Couldn't ask for a better day or venue to celebrate our tremendous students.
Love seeing our graduating seniors walk through the halls of our schools as they are recognized by their peers, teachers and school staff. #piratepride
