Pineview Elementary

 

Pineview has a warm family atmosphere where students feel valued and loved. Our staff has created a model of high expectations for academics and respect. Pineview staff, parents, and students are engaged in learning together, working to build student confidence and enthusiasm through healthy competition! Pineview instills a sense of tradition within their community. We have spirit and pride everyday! We make sure each child and staff member experiences lessons through passion however big or small.

 

Pineview staff is committed to high expectations by working together to clarify exactly what each teacher must teach and each child must learn. Our team guarantees classroom grade-level knowledge and skills are met in all areas socially and academically. We understand that to increase our success in the classrooms, proof of each student’s learning needs to be gathered on a timely basis and the results must be used to inform students, improve teacher practice, and better meet the needs of each child. We give each child the chance to improve their learning every day. Most importantly, we provide research-based strategies and techniques to help staff and students meet daily challenges.

 

To address and serve the unique educational needs of students who require academic challenges beyond the regular classroom, Pineview is home to the district’s Gifted Program, offering four inclusion Gifted classrooms for qualifying students in1st through 5th grade.
