It is the intent of the Pine Grove Area School District to remain neutral toward families split by divorce or separation. We do not want to take sides with one parent against the other where there may be a possible conflict over children attending school in this district. If you have a court decree, which established you as legal guardian, you will want to provide the district a copy of such document for attachment to your child's permanent record. We will use this as a legal base for working with the custodial parent.
In the absence of such a document, you must be aware that we cannot deny either parent access to his/her child. We cannot withhold information or refuse to see or work with the other parent. We cannot keep the other parent from picking up his/her child from school.
The Pine Grove Area School District wants to protect all children from emotionally upsetting situations. Whatever the parents can settle outside the school to forestall any confrontations should be pursued.
