A Message from Pinewood’s Proud Principal 
Hello Panthers!

Welcome back to another scholarly year at Pinewood Elementary School! I hope your summer was filled with growth, relaxation, and positivity! I am honored to be here at Pinewood for another year to continue seeing scholar learning aligned with the mission and vision of Orange County Public Schools that every student graduates inspired and prepared for a thriving future. Together with our families and the community, we empower students with a superior academic experience, essential life skills, and boundless opportunities.

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing students with high quality instruction and a safe/positive learning environment. We strive to ensure each student has the opportunity to learn, set, and achieve goals!

I am aware of the importance of family and community empowerment; I encourage community stakeholders to join our SAC (School Advisory Committee). Visit our social media Facebook @PinewoodOCPS page for more information as well!

Panthers, remember to emulate and represent kindness, respect, helpfulness, determination, life-long learning, and joy each day! It is my job to keep the school safe and clean…. It is your job to HELP keep the school safe and clean! Always remember #6Houses1PinewoodFamily! 

At Pinewood, we are "Building Brighter Futures!"

Sincerely,
Rozene Frett Bowie
