Dear PT Parents, Faculty, and Community: This morning at approximately 11:10 am the Pine Tree Administration was made aware of a threat of family violence by an individual whose children attend our school. In an overabundance of caution, District leadership initiated a shelter-in-place while Longview Police Department completed its investigation. The threat has cleared and regular operations resumed district-wide at approximately 11:30 am. There was not and is not an active threat on campus at any time. The administration felt this move was necessary to protect our students, staff, and families. We apologize for any inconvenience this action may have caused.

Congratulations to Pine Tree High School student finalists for the UT Tyler High School Idea Challenge. Kiley Salse with Knitted Kindness placed third. Óseas Medina and Nathan Cualjay were in the top six with their EZ Fishing Lure.
