Earlier this afternoon a man wandered up from Lear Park. He was immediately confronted by campus personnel and Longview PD at the entrance to Lear Park. The campus was placed in a temporary “hold”. No students or staff were in any danger. Thank you.

Just about reminder: come out to Cane's on Tuesday night to support our amazing Sapphires!!

Mr. Epnett’s students had a blast today learning about the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. They synthesized their new knowledge of history with argumentative writing by creating comic strips of a Russian and American debating who won the race to space!

"Our 6th grade GT students had a great time at the Region 7 Innovation Inventions seminar. Students were tasked with building a wildlife rehabilitation habitat for an injured animal. They had to design a blueprint of their habitat and were given a budget to purchase their supplies. Students also had to test their prototype to withstand water, wind, and predators. They did a great job of representing PTMS!”

Just a friendly reminder that all Pine Tree ISD campuses and district offices will be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of a district holiday. Students will return to class on Tuesday, January 20.

Congratulations to house Adaptability on winning the 2nd nine weeks spirit contest!!

Due to an altered schedule for today, we are unable to accommodate lunch visitors. Thank you for understanding!!

Come out and support our Sapphires on January 20!!

The Pine Tree Middle School Choir helped us bring in the Christmas Season tonight with beautiful music!!

Please help our 5th grade CEER students reach their goal of funding a water well in Africa. Each pack of socks is $15, makes a perfect stocking stuffer, and brings our students one step closer to making a global impact. In addition, for every two packs sold, one pair is given to us to donate to a local charity; this allows our students to give back both here at home and across the world. The deadline has been extended until tomorrow (December 12th)! Link: https://go.wehelptwo.com/campaign/?campaignid=38466
