What clubs and activities does Pinewood Elementary have?

Pinewood lists four programs: an NEHS group for grades 4 to 6, a PBIS team, Strings and Chorus, and Safety Patrols.

On the Pinewood home page, NEHS is described as open to 4th through 6th grade students who meet or exceed stellar behavior and academics criteria (Pinewood Elementary website). The school's Positive Behavior Interventions and Support team rewards students for positive behavior. In Strings and Chorus, Pinewood's music teacher and the Area IV Music Coordinator work with 4th to 6th grade students, and the Safety Patrols help with both before and after school activities.

What is New Worlds Reading on the Pinewood Elementary website?

New Worlds Reading, linked from the Pinewood Parents and Students menu, is a state program that delivers free books to young students who read below grade level.

Pinewood places New Worlds Reading between its Media Center (Destiny) and Brevard After School links (Pinewood Elementary website). Section 1003.485 sets the initiative's purpose as providing high-quality, free books to students in prekindergarten through grade 5 who are reading below grade level, with the University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning set as the program's administrator (Florida Statutes, s. 1003.485). Once a Pinewood student is identified as eligible, the law has the school district coordinate with the administrator so books arrive monthly during the school year, beginning no later than October and continuing through at least June, with students offered a choice of book topics or genres.

Under the same section, a student in prekindergarten through grade 5 qualifies by not yet reading on grade level, by having a substantial reading deficiency, by showing a substantial early literacy deficiency on the state's coordinated screening and progress monitoring, or by scoring below Level 3 on the latest statewide English Language Arts test (Florida Statutes, s. 1003.485). For a Pinewood student, that eligibility lasts until promotion to grade 6 or until a parent opts out, and the district must send the parent the administrator's application form.
