Pine Tree Junior High School

Welcome back Pirates! Morning parent drop off starts at 7:45AM. Students should not be dropped off before that time. We do not have staff on campus before that time to monitor students. Thank you Pirate parents for helping us with this!

Dear parent or guardian- The parent portal is open to parents of 3-8 students who took a Spring STAAR test. Please use the link to access a newsletter with specific instructions on how to access your student's STAAR scores.

⚠️ Action Required: Parent Consent Needed for Nurse and Counselor Services ⚠️

Beginning September 1, 2025, a new Texas law (Senate Bill 12) requires parental consent before school nurses may provide health-related services to students and before school counselors may provide routine counseling services to students.

Without your consent, nurses and counselors will only be able to provide assistance in emergencies. This means we will not be able to provide health services such as basic first aid (including bandages and ice packs), or routine counseling services until the consent form is completed.

Please log in to your Skyward Family Access account to complete and submit the consent form. The form must be completed on a computer, not on a mobile device. If you do not have access to a computer, please visit your child’s campus office for assistance with log in.

Thank you for your partnership in supporting student health and well-being.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings for districts and campuses across the state, bringing back clarity and transparency for Texas families. Pine Tree's overall district score is a B(86). Additionally, the delayed 2024 ratings have been made available to school systems and the public following the resolution of legal proceedings that previously prevented their release. To view the 2025 A-F Ratings for school systems and campuses, visit TXschools.gov.
