We are kicking off Dungeons & Dragons at Pin Oak this fall:

• We will meet two Wednesdays per month from 4:00 - 5:30 PM. 
• Our first meeting was Wednesday, September 11, 2024
• Our meetings will take place in the Pin Oak library

Parents can fill out this form to indicate their interest in their student participating.

The club welcomes players of all experience levels who have an enthusiasm for tabletop roleplaying games. We ask that players draft an origin story for a character they might want to play, and tell us why they are excited about playing Dungeons and Dragons.

For questions, reach out to Kyle Verret.

Parent volunteers allow us to open the school store during our students' lunch period each day. It's also a great way to meet other parents and interact with students. 

Signups are for the 2024-2025 school year. In order to open the store, we require at least 2 people onsite at all times. Please sign up for the group (A or B)/day(s) that works best for you (shifts are every other week).

Please feel free to reach out to Jean Lee or Thuy Promubol at schoolstore@pinoakpto.org with any questions or concerns. 

All school volunteers are required to be VIPS approved.

The school store is open for students during lunch. The online school store is also open for your uniform needs. You will be notified of when to pick up your order once it has been fulfilled.

Please email schoolstore@pinoakpto.org with any questions. 

Registration: All players must register and pay fees by October 1, 2024

Program Cost: $450 per player (plus uniform fees if applicable)

Physicals: Pin Oak Girls Lacrosse is required to have a current physical on file for every player, and we do NOT have access to Register My Athlete!  For your daughter to be eligible to practice or play, you must email a copy of her completed physical.

Practice: First practice is at POMS on Monday, September 9 at 7 PM

Need assistance with registration, equipment, or have other program questions? Email us!

Join us on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 5:30 PM in the POMS Cafeteria for an interest meeting to learn about the swim team. 

• Register your student on Aktivate (Register My Athlete) before the meeting. It really makes things easier on our coaches.
• Students need to be able to swim already  - this is not lessons. 
• Tryouts are just to make sure that they will be able to complete a 50 meter freestyle in 1 minute. 
• We welcome club swimmers! 

We really want to beat another middle school who shall be nameless, so please come out and join the team.

Please email Ms. Hulbirt with any questions.

Please consider helping us purchase items on the Pin Oak Amazon Wish List. 

Thank you so much for your generosity!

All volunteers in HISD must register to be VIPS approved. Please register at least two weeks before your scheduled volunteer shift, as it can take three to five business days to complete the background check. Even if you were previously VIPS approved, you will need to register again as your approval expires at the end of each school year.

With so many exciting events happening at Pin Oak throughout the school year, we are not always able to have a student photographer present to take photos. Therefore, we are asking parents who attend POMS events and take photos to share their best images with us so we can include them in our school yearbook.
