Mrs. Cartwright’s 3rd grade class had a blast welcoming their families into the classroom today for their “Unlock Your Panther Potential” Family Engagement Event!
Students and their families came together for meaningful learning experiences, giving families a firsthand look at what happens in the classroom while strengthening connections that inspire growth and success!
The class recently wrapped up a novel study of Charlotte’s Web, bringing the story to life by creating dioramas showcasing their favorite scenes from the book.
What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate learning, creativity, and the special connection between home and school!

Pinewood Families,
If your child has an unpaid cafeteria meal balance, you may receive an email similar to the one below from the Martin County School District Food & Nutrition Services Department.
If you have any questions regarding your child's meal account balance or need assistance, please contact the school. We are happy to help.💛🐾
Familias de Pinewood,
Si su hijo(a) tiene un saldo pendiente en su cuenta de comidas de la cafetería, es posible que reciba un correo electrónico similar al que se muestra a continuación por parte del Departamento de Servicios de Alimentación y Nutrición del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Martin.
Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el saldo de la cuenta de comidas de su hijo(a) o necesita ayuda, comuníquese con la escuela. Estaremos encantados de ayudarle. 💛🐾
Hello, this is Martin County School District Food & Nutrition Services.
We are contacting you to let you know that your child's cafeteria account has an unpaid balance. To prevent any interruption of meal account privileges, please submit payment to the school cafeteria or add funds through MySchoolBucks.com -TODAY. If the balance remains unpaid, your child will not be able to purchase à la carte items and will be given an alternate reimbursable lunch at the cost of $1.85 and $1.50 for breakfast.
If your family needs assistance with the cost of school meals, we encourage you to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. Please note that approval of an application does not eliminate or forgive any existing meal charges on your child's account. Applications are available on the Martin County School District Food & Nutrition Services website, or you may request a paper copy from your school's cafeteria manager.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Hola, le habla el Departamento de Servicios de Alimentación y Nutrición del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Martin.
Nos comunicamos con usted para informarle que la cuenta de cafetería de su hijo(a) tiene un saldo pendiente. Para evitar cualquier interrupción en los privilegios de la cuenta de comidas, le solicitamos que realice el pago en la cafetería de la escuela o agregue fondos a través de MySchoolBucks.com HOY MISMO. Si el saldo permanece sin pagarse, su hijo(a) no podrá comprar artículos a la carta y se le proporcionará un almuerzo alternativo reembolsable con un costo de $1.85 y un desayuno con un costo de $1.50.
Si su familia necesita ayuda con el costo de las comidas escolares, le recomendamos completar una Solicitud para Comidas Gratuitas o a Precio Reducido. Tenga en cuenta que la aprobación de una solicitud no elimina ni perdona ningún cargo existente en la cuenta de comidas de su hijo(a). Las solicitudes están disponibles en el sitio web de Servicios de Alimentación y Nutrición del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Martin, o puede solicitar una copia impresa al gerente de la cafetería de su escuela.
Gracias por su pronta atención a este asunto.
