Principal

Mrs. Pat Bachman, Principal

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year! I would like to extend a special welcome to our first grade students and other students who will be attending Pine for the first time. I am excited about our upcoming school year together and about getting to know all of you better.

I have lived in Palmyra since 1984. I have three children; all are graduates of Palmyra High School. I am beginning my third year as Principal at Pine Street Elementary School. For two years before that, I was Assistant Principal at Northside, and prior to that I taught Learning Support Resource Room at Northside. I love working with students of all ages and in all aspects of the school day. That is the best part of my job. The next best part of my job is working with parents and teachers. The team of educators and parents together is the best recipe for student success in all areas of life. Parents and educators together set the example of a moral, ethical, responsible, and respectful community that values learning. It’s a big job, and that’s why we need each other.

I look forward to seeing all of you and working closely with you on our students’ behalf. Please feel free to contact me via email (pat_bachman@pasd.us) or phone (838-1331, opt.7) with your questions or concerns.
