From the Pine City School District:
This is the first weekly update from Pine City Public Schools containing general information for parents, guardians, and community. This format is not intended to provide deep detail, rather an overview of our actions and preparations. Look for an update from the District each Monday moving forward. The District will send detailed communications to parents and guardians as needed.

Material Delivery
The District is planning to deliver educational materials to approximately 426 students for use during the educational week of March 30th - April 2nd.
These hard-copy materials are being delivered to all K-2 students as well as at the request of parents who have limited access to Internet. Most materials that need to be distributed cannot be mailed out as they include manipulatives, hardcover textbooks, or other non-mail friendly materials. Most students will access these materials and tools via their school-issued Chromebook and the Internet.
The District does not have contracted bus services or regular staff available to deliver materials this week. We are thankful that the local National Guard Armory has offered their staff to provide delivery support. The District has a long-running working relationship with our local Armory and we appreciate their help and support in this time of need.
Program information and sign-up forms will be distributed to parents and guardians for implementation beginning the week of March 30
