Our School
We look forward to welcoming all grade 7 and 8 students from around the Newcastle, Newtonville, Orono, Kendal and Kirby areas. The Pines is a great school that is modeled off of Clarke High School, which is directly next to our school. Students at the Pines will experience lockers, rotary, and many exciting opportunities.
Technology
The Pines has been working hard to bring Google Drive into the school which allows every student to access their files and documents, anywhere they have internet and a computer. With Google Drive, we have been teaching students to use Google Docs, Sheets and Draw, which offer a variety of tools that make completing assignments easier and faster. Some class have been using Google Classroom and experimenting with all the neat features that it can provide within the classroom. Finally, every student at The Pines has access to Kurzweil 3000 where all of their textbooks have been uploaded allowing them all to access them anywhere they have a computer and internet connection. In addition, students can download the app called FireFly, which provides access to all textbooks.
