Letter from the PGS PTO Presidents!
Dear PGS Community,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you, the families and PGS faculty and staff, for working so hard to turn what could have been a year of challenges into a year of triumph and successes for our community and the human spirit.
Pine Grove School offers the EduKit program as a convenient option for busy families to order school supplies for the 2020/2021 year. EduKits include the supplies based on child's grade. Benefits of ordering EduKit include:
- Avoiding long lines in stores or shopping in multiple locations in person or on line (ie one stop shopping)
- Reducing chance of dealing with out of stock inventory
- Receiving quality products at an affordable price
- Avoiding pricey delivery fees or late deliveries
Order School Supplies for Next Year!
ORDER BY JUNE 30, 2020 FOR BEST PRICING AND FREE SHIPPING
Your student's order will be in the classroom on the first day of school.
EduKit are excited to offer a "Recycler Kit" for each returning grade this year. The Recycler Kits do NOT include durable items that can be used from year to year like scissors, rulers, and pencil pouches. If you choose to purchase a Recyler Kit, it is expected for students to bring such items from home. Please carefully review kit contents of each kit option before making your purchase.
Extended ordering is available from July 01 - July 31 for an additional $20 fee and will be delivered to your home shortly before school begins.
