P inetree School opened in September of 1988. The center of the campus is the library resource building which houses 15,000 volumes. Each of the classroom wings surrounds a large multi-use area and each pair of classrooms shares a teacher work space where students can receive individual attention. There are primary and upper grade computer labs.
Students have the option to play in the blacktop area or on the grassy field.
Pinetree was designed to house 600 K-6 students. An Intersession Program for off-track students was successfully implemented in 1992. In 1993, Pinetree School was selected by the California State Department of Education to receive the Distinguished School Award. Technology continues to be an area of major focus across the curriculum. The PTA, School Site Council and parent volunteers are actively involved in school activities and programs supporting extra curricular activities.
