Submit Forms

  • PDF Release of Records Form.  For those applying to Grades 1-6, parents must download Pinecrest’s release of records form, fill it out and sign it, and then give it to the registrar of their child’s current school.  The registrar will mail or email the records to Pinecrest School.
  • Results of any outside cognitive, psychological and/or therapeutic testing.  In order that that Pinecrest may better understand a child’s educational and/or social and emotional needs, parents/guardians should give Pinecrest copies of any outside testing.
